Commercial · Design-Build
Design-build contractor in Birmingham
Single-source accountability with design and construction unified under one team.
In design-build, one contract covers design and construction. Pricing starts with the first sketches, design and permitting overlap with early construction work, and there is one team answerable for the result.
Blackstone welcomes design-build and other alternative delivery methods because they take time and risk out of a project. We will help you pick the method that fits your budget, schedule and appetite for risk.

Common questions
Is design-build faster than design-bid-build?
Usually. Because design and construction overlap and there is no separate bid phase, design-build projects can start construction sooner and finish earlier.
How is design-build priced?
The price is built up as the design develops, often ending in a guaranteed maximum price once the drawings are far enough along.
