Design-Build method of construction offers our clients the opportunity for single-source responsibility for both design & construction services.

Design Build is the process of building a cohesive team to guide you through the entire process of your commercial construction project from start to finish. It is often a great solution which can end up saving the client both time and money. The Design-Build approach forms a building team relationship between the client, design team and general contractor.

Benefits include:

• Single source accountability for planning, approvals, design and construction
• Trust-based
• Eliminates adversarial roles
• More flexibility in design process
• Economical design through Value Engineering studies and cooperation
• Early determination of budget costs to avoid “bid day surprises”
• Avoids overlaps or omissions in bidding documents
• Specialty contractors are pre-qualified for capability and performance
• Early purchase of long lead time items, or items with pending price increases
• Lower design fees
• Earlier building occupancy
• Post-construction training and support

In the not-to-distant past, a client would sign an agreement with a general contractor, and that contractor would build the building.

In today’s market, many general contractors have become mere brokers of construction services, that only provide a project superintendent and bookkeeping services in-house. Nichols Construction Team is a throw-back to the days when a general contractor actually performs the work with their own, in-house craftsmen.  With our full-time construction professionals, cranes, backhoes, forklifts, scissor lifts, dump trucks and a host of construction equipment, Nichols Construction Team can self-perform many of the disciplines of your construction project utilizing the very latest technology.

This self-performance of general construction allows us to control quality, cost and schedules more efficiently than companies that rely on the performance of subcontractors for timely construction and for warranty service.

Nichols Construction Team has helped many clients successfully overcome the challenges of commercial interior renovations and maintenance.
