Design-Build Construction
One team, one contract, from first sketch to final inspection.
Design-Build by Presto Constructions
One team, one contract, from first sketch to final inspection.
Design-build brings design and construction together under a single contract. Instead of hiring an architect, waiting for drawings and then tendering to contractors, you work with one integrated team that designs with cost and constructability in mind from day one.
Presto Constructions coordinates the architects, engineers and designers, manages permit applications and builds the project, all with one point of contact. The result is usually a shorter overall timeline, fewer surprises and a budget that's checked against real construction costs throughout design.
