What We Do > DESIGN / BUILD
Program Management | Construction Management

An increasingly popular approach to streamlining the delivery process of a facility is to bring both the design and construction functions under the leadership of a single entity. This design build approach results in a project where details are orchestrated from the earliest concepts to the completed structure. With design build, the owner is assured single source responsibility.

The design build team approach at Harbour is based on establishing a working, partnership with the client throughout the project - especially in the early stages as the team explores the functional requirements of the facility. As the building concept takes shape, a schematic design is developed to delineate the basic space allocations, traffic patterns and other essential elements of the concept.

By closely coordinating, the design, value engineering and estimating activities, the owner receives enormous dividends in the form of an appropriate and functional design, a guaranteed cost prior to construction and an accelerated schedule.

Harbour Contractors is one of the few local construction organizations to hold the State of Illinois' professional design firm designation. Over 60% of the firm's annual revenue is generated by design build assignments.
