What is Design-Build?

Design-build is a comprehensive project delivery method where one entity (the design-build contractor) manages both the design and construction phases of a project. This integrated approach eliminates the common pitfalls of traditional construction, such as miscommunication between designers and builders, unexpected costs, and timeline delays. At Vatter Construction, our in-house designer collaborates with our expert construction team to bring your vision to life, ensuring a balance between aesthetics, function, and craftsmanship.
