Design-Build Contractor in Mesa and the Phoenix Metro

Design-Build overview

In a traditional project you hire an architect, wait for drawings, then send those drawings out to contractors and hope the bids land near the budget. Design-build puts the designer and the builder on the same team from day one. Cost is checked while the design is still on paper, constructability is reviewed before permits are pulled, and there is one company responsible for the result.

All American Builders is set up for exactly this. Our architects, designers, estimators, project managers and field crews are one staff. For homeowners that means a custom home or addition that stays on budget as it is designed. For business owners it means a build-out or new building that moves from concept to opening without the usual gaps between firms.

How our design-build process works

• Consultation on site to establish goals, budget range and constraints
• Concept design with early cost feedback, so decisions are made with numbers attached
• Construction drawings, engineering coordination and permit submittal handled in-house
• A single itemized proposal covering design and construction
• One project manager from design through final inspection
• Changes priced and approved in one place, without finger-pointing between firms

Who design-build is for

Design-build suits owners who want a predictable process and a single accountable partner: families building or expanding a home, business owners fitting out a new location, and property owners who would rather manage one relationship than three. It also suits projects with a firm budget, because cost is part of the design conversation instead of a surprise at bid time.

If you already have a full set of drawings, we are happy to build from them as a traditional general contractor. If you have an idea and a budget, design-build is usually the faster and less stressful route.
