Our Services

Design/Build

Design/Build is a process in which the Contractor (S & S Builders) assembles a Team of Architects, Engineers and Subcontractors to meet an Owners requirements. The process allows the Owner to be involved from the beginning in working with this Team to create a project that meets all of the Owners needs.

When an Owner selects Design/Build for their project all parties involved are able to focus on the project with an emphasis on constructability, scheduling and quality. The Owner saves time and money by dealing with a single source for all matters, instead of separately with an architect, a contractor, an engineer and subcontractors. The project can be completed in less time because design, permitting and sometimes construction can overlap each other in what is known as “Fast Tracking”.

Having the Contractor involved and managing the team from the conception, ensures that constructability, and cost control is managed through out the design and bidding phases. The Team Concept – Owner, Contractor, Architect and Engineers - brings plans and specifications to completion which will require minimal changes during construction, this will ultimately cut down on materials costs, scheduling conflicts and allows for system compatibility.

Our experience with various owners over time has resulted in few if any “change orders” or other surprises during construction. We are able to save money on a project through good planning and communication, and the professional fees are kept to a minimum.

After the design phase is completed a Guaranteed Maximum Price is presented, including any professional fees that might occur.

Another advantage to Design/Build is that all ideas are generated by a Team with a cooperative approach. S & S Builders, LLC, has been in the business of Design/Build for over fourteen years and have built a very good team. S & S Builders, LLC is very proud of our Design/Build Team. It was built through a long process of careful selection to insure the best possible product.
