Design Build
our design build approach
From Concept to Completion
Our design/build approach is what sets EEC apart. EEC stays with you every step of the way: from the design of your building to the final structure. Our design staff works closely with our surveyors, engineers and construction team providing efficient project communication. Efficient communication between design staff and our construction experts throughout every phase of construction will leave you with confidence that your project will be the high quality, efficiently built, and attractive product we promise.
The design build advantage
Design Build vs. Traditional Build
By working with a design-build team, clients can take advantage of a streamlined and collaborative process that integrates the design and construction phases seamlessly. This approach fosters effective communication, enhanced coordination, and more efficient project delivery, resulting in significant cost savings and shorter project timelines.
Design Build
Design-build firms offer owners a single point of responsibility, reducing the risk of miscommunication and ensuring greater accountability for project outcomes.
Traditional Build
In traditional builds, owners are responsible for coordinating contracts, communication, and possible conflicts between the contractor and designer, leading to increased costs & time.
Design, Engineering, Surveying, and Construction
All under one roof. All working together.
Faster
Collaborative project management means work is completed faster with fewer problems.
EfficienT
“One-Stop” shopping for all stages. With over 30 licensed engineers, surveyors, architects, and construction professionals under one roof, EEC’s experienced team works together to provide you your engineering, surveying, architectural and construction needs. This one-source capability enables EEC to be more efficient in all aspects of your project.
Singular Responsibility
You can hold EEC accountable for cost, schedule, and performance.
increased Cost Savings
EEC’s integrated team is geared toward efficiency and innovation.
Better Quality
EEC meets performance needs, not minimum design requirements.
Streamlined Communication
Serving both private and government clients as a one-stop shop for engineering, surveying, and construction needs our engineers and surveyors work closely with our architects and construction crews. Creating excellent teamwork and allowing a free-flowing line of communication that aids in the efficient creation of accurate and buildable plans using the latest design software.
Decreased Administrative Burden
You can focus on the project, rather than managing disparate contracts.
Reduction in Change Orders
Fine-tune or revise building plans as the project is being constructed.

Ensuring Quality from Start to Finish
In order to obtain the highest quality standards throughout the pre-construction/construction process, a systematic project management process is used that incorporates quality planning, quality assurance, and quality control from planning through execution.
Phase 1
Conception & Initiation
The planning phase is critical for designing the highest quality project. This phase includes defining the Project Purpose, Scope of Work, Regulatory Requirements, Measures of Success, Defining a Quality Management team, Preliminary Conceptual Design & Engineering Review, and a Preliminary Budget & Schedule.
Phase 2
Definition & Planning
Throughout the Design Development process, we coordinate all information gathered during the initial discussion and review of the conceptual design, along with any suggested modifications when developing the Construction Documents, Final Construction Schedule, Final Construction Budget, and concluding with Permitting Process. Our process will ensure that all your requirements are met while maintaining the budget and schedule restraints.
Phase 3
Project Execution & Construction
The construction phase of an EEC Design Build project involves the project manager implementing the Construction Documents. EEC’s project manager and construction supervisor will have a steady flow of communication throughout the project to ensure the
accurate implementation of the Construction Documents. The project manager will utilize regular site visits and reports provided by the project superintendent to coordinate trades, track progress and address questions. This will allow the project manager to provide accurate progress reports to the building ownership team and ensure the project is on-time and on budget
Phase 4
Project Performance & Control
We have firmly established our team as the best by performing look-backs and reviews of completed projects to understand function and use. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle is the model used for continuous improvement throughout our project planning process. Our design and construction teams are responsible for identifying non-conforming work, and the Ownership team may also identify potential non-conforming work to the Project Manager for action. Any completed work not meeting the plans, specifications, and contract requirements is to be deemed non-conforming and will be addressed. The team at EEC is committed to constructing and creating only the best quality projects.
