DESIGN-BUILD & PROJECT MANAGEMENT

STREAMLINED CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY FOR EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS

Earth Saving Solutions delivers integrated design-build services and comprehensive project management that simplify the construction process, maximize efficiency, and ensure accountability from concept through completion.

DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT

At Earth Saving Solutions, we understand that successful construction projects require more than technical expertise—they demand efficient coordination, clear communication, and proactive oversight. Our design-build and project management services provide seamless delivery models that eliminate the traditional gaps between design, engineering, and construction to deliver superior results with reduced risk and enhanced value.

INTEGRATED CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS

Earth Saving Solutions offers comprehensive design-build and project management services that transform the construction experience for commercial and residential clients. By integrating all aspects of the construction process under one coordinated team, we eliminate the fragmentation, miscommunication, and inefficiency that often plague traditional delivery methods.

Our design-build approach brings architects, engineers, and builders together from project inception, fostering collaboration that optimizes designs for constructability, cost-effectiveness, and operational performance. This integrated methodology significantly reduces project timelines, minimizes change orders, and provides clients with a single point of accountability throughout the entire process.

For clients who prefer to use their existing design team, our project management services provide expert oversight that keeps projects on track, on budget, and built to specification. Our experienced project managers serve as your advocate, ensuring quality standards are maintained, schedules are optimized, and potential issues are identified and resolved proactively.

Whether you're planning a ground-up commercial development, a retail renovation, or a custom residential project, our design-build and project management services deliver exceptional results with reduced client burden and enhanced predictability.

FEATURED DESIGN-BUILD PROJECTS

Earth Saving Solutions has successfully delivered a wide range of design-build projects across multiple sectors. Our integrated approach has proven particularly valuable for complex projects with accelerated timelines or specialized requirements.

McLean Trucking Depot

McLEAN TRUCKING DEPOT RENOVATION

This comprehensive $1.5 million design-build project involved significant facility improvements for a major trucking operation, including bathroom remodels, office build-out, and mechanics building renovation. The design-build approach allowed us to fast-track design and construction, delivering the completed project three weeks ahead of schedule.

Key project elements included:

  • Complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing redesign
  • ADA compliance upgrades throughout the facility
  • Industrial-grade finishes for high-traffic areas
  • Phased implementation to maintain operations
  • Value engineering that saved approximately $75,000

By integrating design and construction under a single team, we were able to identify and resolve potential conflicts early in the process, reducing change orders by over 60% compared to similar traditionally delivered projects.

Circle K Design-Build

MULTI-SITE RETAIL PROGRAM

As a trusted partner for Circle K, we implemented a design-build approach for their multi-site renovation program that significantly improved delivery efficiency while maintaining consistent quality across locations. By developing standardized design solutions that could be adapted to site-specific conditions, we reduced design time by approximately 40% while improving construction coordination.

Program highlights included:

  • Standardized design solutions with site-specific adaptations
  • Prefabricated elements to accelerate on-site installation
  • Coordinated permitting and approval processes
  • Integrated MEP design and construction coordination
  • Consistent quality standards across multiple locations

This design-build program approach delivered nearly 40 store renovations with 95% on-time completion and consistent budget performance, demonstrating the scalability and efficiency of our integrated delivery model.

OUR DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

Earth Saving Solutions follows a structured design-build methodology that emphasizes collaboration, efficiency, and client involvement throughout the entire project lifecycle:

INITIAL CONSULTATION & NEEDS ASSESSMENT

We begin by thoroughly understanding your project goals, requirements, constraints, and vision. This foundational step ensures our design and construction approach aligns perfectly with your objectives.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN & BUDGETING

Our integrated team develops preliminary designs and initial cost projections, allowing you to evaluate options and make informed decisions before significant design investment.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

With conceptual approval, we advance designs with ongoing constructability reviews and cost evaluations, refining the project scope while maintaining budget and schedule objectives.

FINAL DESIGN & PRICING

Upon design development completion, we finalize construction documents and provide guaranteed pricing, giving you complete cost certainty before construction begins.

PERMITTING & PRE-CONSTRUCTION

While permits are being secured, we conduct detailed pre-construction planning, including procurement strategies, schedule refinement, and site preparation activities.

CONSTRUCTION EXECUTION

With designs and permits in place, our construction team executes the project with the same integrated approach, maintaining design intent while solving field challenges efficiently.

QUALITY VERIFICATION & COMMISSIONING

Throughout construction and at completion, we conduct thorough quality verification, systems testing, and commissioning to ensure all elements perform as designed.

PROJECT CLOSEOUT & TRANSITION

Our comprehensive closeout process ensures a smooth transition from construction to occupancy, with all documentation, training, and warranty information provided for ongoing operations.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR INTEGRATED APPROACH

Earth Saving Solutions' design-build and project management services offer significant advantages over traditional construction delivery methods:

SINGLE-SOURCE ACCOUNTABILITY

Our integrated approach eliminates the finger-pointing that often occurs in traditional project delivery, providing you with a single point of responsibility for both design and construction outcomes.

ACCELERATED PROJECT DELIVERY

Design-build projects typically deliver 20-30% faster than traditional methods by allowing construction to begin before design is 100% complete and eliminating the separate bidding phase.

EARLY COST CERTAINTY

Our process provides reliable budget projections early in the design process and guarantees final pricing before construction begins, eliminating the uncertainty of traditional bid processes.

REDUCED CHANGE ORDERS

By integrating design and construction expertise from project inception, we identify and resolve potential issues during design rather than discovering them during construction.

ENHANCED QUALITY CONTROL

Our cohesive team approach ensures seamless communication between designers and builders, resulting in greater attention to detail and consistently superior craftsmanship.

IMPROVED COMMUNICATION

Our integrated structure provides clear communication channels and a unified team focused on your project's success, eliminating the communication gaps that often occur in fragmented delivery methods.

CONTINUOUS VALUE ENGINEERING

Throughout the design process, our construction experts provide ongoing input regarding costs, constructability, and alternative solutions that enhance value without compromising quality.

REDUCED CLIENT BURDEN

Our comprehensive management approach reduces the administrative burden on clients, allowing you to focus on your core business while we handle the complexities of your construction project.
