In today's construction market, the Design/Build method of construction is recognized as the best and most efficient way for an Owner to build. Experience is the key element to this process; BSI has been employing this method since 1967.
Using Design/Build the Owner is able to place the responsibility for the project's success under a single Design/Build contract with Building Systems, Inc. The traditional competitive-bidding process tends to pit building owners, design professionals, and developers against their contractors. With Design/Build the Owner becomes a member of BSI's design/build team, a partner who will work with our professionals to develop the projects specifications and design and to ensure that both budget and schedule are met.
BSI and the Owner as a team can at the earliest stages of the project development assist with long range planning, future budget forecasting and introduce value-engineering solutions.

a) Experience working for the Owner at the initial project development,
b) Single source responsibility,
c) Guaranteed total costs before construction begins,
d) Faster design and start of construction,
e) Greater flexibility for changes thanks to direct communication
These advantages translate into the following benefits:
1) Lower total cost,
2) Faster occupancy,
3) Greater Customer satisfaction.
The easiest way to understand the advantages of the Design/Build method is to illustrate the differences with the traditional method with a graph.
