Design/Build Construction

The recent popularity of Design/Build is proving something we at Pioneer have known about for years. The Design/Build process is the simplest, fastest and most cost effective way for an owner to complete their project. Our clients such as Pepsi Cola of Washington, The John Driggs Co., Maryland Federal Savings and Loan, Hertz Penske, EOSAT/NASA, Air Products and Chemicals, Prince George's County Fire Department, Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission and many other local Maryland business have benefited from Design/Build.

WHAT IS DESIGN/BUILD?

Design/Build is the method of contracting where the owner hires a competent contractor who in turn hires an architect, structural engineer, mechanical/electrical engineer, civil engineer and any specialty consultants. All design and construction is handled under one contract. The design team works with the owner from day one to design a building best suited to the owners needs. The best construction value, most sensible materials and methods and the owners requirements are all designed into the project. The result is a project with a realistic budget, little or no change orders, and the best effective design from the start.

Our success with Design/Build starts with the assembly of the appropriate design team. We work closely with various architects and engineers who specialize in particular types of projects. We match the requirements of the project with the ability and expertise of each member of the team. This develops a team that is just right for the job, not over or under qualified. When the right design team is set up, Pioneer coordinates all aspects of the design, adding value engineering throughout the entire process.
