Design-Build Construction
Simplify Your Journey to Quicker, More Affordable Outcomes
When your project demands expedited delivery and minimized risk, design-build may be the answer you’re looking for.
Delivering a project as design-build means maximizing value. Energy Systems Group achieves this by self-performing design, estimating, and construction, along with early introduction of specific contractors. You benefit from reduced risk and time for design, scope development, and cost estimates—all of which can result in a more efficient bidding process.




What Is Design-Build?
Design-build is a process for managing a construction project where the design and build portions of the project are carried out under one single contract with a unified workflow.
With this type of project delivery system, the role of designer and constructor come together to combine all of the architectural, engineering, and construction aspects of a project into a streamlined process. It’s an alternative method for completing a construction project that eliminates the need for you to work under multiple contracts.
Instead of coordinating two or more contracts and different points of contact, you have one source of accountability—us. It’s an efficient way to execute a project that is easier on you and results in cost savings.
Delivering What You Need Most
When you choose a design-build contract, you’ll benefit from these project delivery advantages:
Time Savings
Design-build eliminates or reduces the need for a separate contractor bid phase after the design phase of the project, speeding up your project and collapsing the timeline for completion.
Improved Quality
Our attention is on quality assurance, with the design team involved not just at the beginning, but throughout the entire process.
Quicker Path to Procurement
Because the design and construction plans are formed concurrently, we can secure equipment and goods early in the project plan.
Budget Certainty
You’re assured of cost certainty through our where we take the cost risk, providing customers with guaranteed building performance to maintain operating budgets.

Save Both Time
and Money
We provide cost certainty through firm, fixed-cost, and guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts, in which we take on the highly variable cost risk in an inflationary market.
The design-build approach has proven to reduce overall project delivery, including procurement and decision-making.
What’s specifically different from other design-build providers? Energy Systems Group leverages this design and risk management experience with our energy, process, and equipment performance assurance.
That means you receive guaranteed building performance to maintain your operating budget while supporting attainable construction.
