Design-Build Delivery: A Smarter Path to Construction

Huff Construction’s design-build process brings your architect, builder, and ownership team together from day one. By aligning design, budgets, and construction timelines early, we help developers break ground faster and avoid costly delays.

Why Developers Choose Huff for Design-Build

  • Early budget clarity: Real-time pricing and constructability feedback keep your design aligned with budget from day one.
  • Streamlined approvals: We support entitlement strategies, jurisdictional reviews, and site planning to reduce red tape.
  • Faster path to groundbreaking: Compressed timelines mean your project gets out of the ground sooner — especially critical for grant-funded or time-sensitive developments.
  • One team, one contract: Our in-house construction team and design partners work as one, reducing miscommunication and change orders.
  • Greater control and flexibility: We adapt to where you are in the process — whether you’re early in site selection or ready to value-engineer completed plans.

Diagram comparing Traditional Project Delivery versus Design-Build Project Delivery. In the traditional model, the owner contracts separately with the architect and contractor, who then coordinate with subconsultants and subcontractors. In the design-build model, the owner contracts directly with one design-build team, streamlining communication and coordination with subcontractors.

Our Three-Phase Design-Build Approach

1. Entitlements & Early Planning

We coordinate land use, utilities, and site planning to reduce delays and help you make informed development decisions.

2. Construction Drawings & Preconstruction

We provide real-time cost feedback, subcontractor input, and constructability reviews to keep plans aligned with the budget.

3. Construction & Final Delivery

Once design is complete, we transition seamlessly into construction — compressing the timeline to occupancy and keeping your goals on track.
