Design-Build Construction

One Team. One Process. From Concept to Completion.

At Curington, we believe the best construction outcomes happen when design and building work together from the start. Our design-build approach brings planning, design coordination, and construction under one team — eliminating the miscommunication, delays, and cost surprises that come with managing separate contracts.

With over 50 years of commercial, industrial, and institutional construction experience across North Central Florida, we partner with owners, leadership teams, and stakeholders to deliver projects that meet your vision, your budget, and your timeline. Our in-house design and CADD capabilities mean your project is being shaped by the same people who will build it.

Whether you’re planning a new commercial facility, expanding a church campus, or building an industrial operation — let’s simplify the process and build it right.

Design-Build Services

Our integrated design-build approach keeps every phase of your project connected, coordinated, and moving forward.

Integrated Project Delivery

Design, engineering coordination, and construction managed by one team. This eliminates the gaps and miscommunication that occur when owners manage separate design and construction contracts.

In-House Design & CADD Support

Our in-house CADD capabilities allow us to develop accurate layouts, documentation, and coordination drawings — aligning your vision with build requirements before the project breaks ground.

Pre-Construction Budgeting

Before construction begins, we work with you to establish realistic cost expectations. Early budgeting reduces surprises and ensures your project scope stays aligned with your financial goals.

Construction Management

From site preparation through final inspection, our team manages the full construction process with a focus on safety, quality, and timeline. You receive consistent updates and clear communication throughout.

Permitting & Regulatory Coordination

We handle the permitting process and coordinate with local authorities so your project stays compliant with Florida building codes and zoning requirements from the start.

Multi-Sector Experience

Our design-build experience spans commercial offices, industrial facilities, churches, non-profits, energy infrastructure, and community buildings. Whatever your sector, we've built it.

Why Design-Build Over Traditional Construction?

In a traditional construction model, owners hire an architect and a general contractor separately. This often leads to misaligned expectations, budget overruns, and finger-pointing when issues arise. Design-build solves this by placing accountability with one team.

  • Single point of accountability — one contract, one team, one line of communication.
  • Faster project delivery — design and construction phases overlap instead of running sequentially.
  • Cost certainty — budgets are established early and managed continuously, not discovered after design is complete.
  • Fewer change orders — because the builder is involved from day one, constructability issues are caught during design, not during construction.
  • Streamlined communication — no more translating between architect and contractor. One team means fewer gaps.
  • Better risk management — with one entity responsible for both design and construction, risk is consolidated and managed proactively.

Frequently Asked Questions About Design-Build Construction

What is design-build construction?

Design-build is a project delivery method where one team handles both the design coordination and construction of a building. Instead of hiring an architect and a contractor separately, you work with a single firm that manages the entire process. This approach simplifies communication, reduces delays, and helps keep projects on budget.

In traditional construction, the owner contracts with a designer and a builder separately. This can lead to disconnected timelines, conflicting priorities, and cost surprises. In design-build, one team is accountable for the entire project from concept through completion, which improves coordination and reduces risk.

Design-build typically results in lower overall project costs because the builder is involved from the earliest planning stages. This means cost issues are identified during design, not after construction begins, and change orders are significantly reduced. Early budgeting and continuous cost management help keep your project within its financial goals.

Yes. Churches and non-profits often need to be thoughtful stewards of resources, and we take that seriously. By using a coordinated design-build approach—and leveraging in-house design support when appropriate—we help keep decisions clear and costs under control while building a facility that serves your mission well.

Timelines vary by project size and complexity, but design-build projects are generally faster than traditionally delivered projects because design and construction phases can overlap. A typical commercial project in North Central Florida may take 8 to 18 months depending on scope, permitting, and site conditions.

Curington Contracting serves design-build clients across North Central Florida from our Ocala headquarters, including Marion County, The Villages, Summerfield, Belleview, Silver Springs Shores, Gainesville, and surrounding communities. Contact us to confirm service availability for your project location.

To begin, we typically need your project location, building type, goals (new build, renovation, or expansion), and an estimated timeline. If you have preliminary plans, a wish list of spaces, or a rough budget range, that helps us provide better guidance during the initial consultation. From there, our team walks you through the next steps.
