DESIGN-BUILD
BUILDING WITH VISION & PURPOSE
What is Design-Build?
At JARDINE, our Design-Build approach brings design and construction together under one contract and one coordinated team, from initial concept through project completion. By engaging designers, engineers, and trade partners early, we improve communication, evaluate cost and constructability as the design develops, and make timely decisions that keep the project moving forward. Owners benefit from a single point of accountability, greater budget and schedule certainty, and fewer gaps between design intent and field execution. The result is less risk, a faster path to completion, and a project that comes together the way the owner envisioned.
Single Entity Contracting
With JARDINE's single-entity Design-Build approach, owners sign one contract with one accountable partner. JARDINE brings the architects, engineers, consultants, and trade partners together as one integrated team and manages them on the owner's behalf, so there's no need to coordinate separate design and construction contracts or referee disputes between them. From initial concept through closeout, we serve as the owner's single point of contact, keeping the completed project aligned with their vision, budget, schedule, and operational needs.
Team Collaboration
Design-Build works best when the owner is part of the team, not just the client. From the first planning conversations, we keep owners involved in key decisions, share clear updates on cost and schedule, and bring options, not just problems, when challenges arise. Our designers, engineers, and trade partners work toward the same shared goals, which means fewer conflicts, less costly redesign, and a project that reflects the owner's priorities. Many of our clients return for future projects, and that's the measure of success we care about most.
