About Design Build Staten Island

History and Philosophy

Design Build Staten Island is a project delivery system used in the construction industry. It is a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build contractor. In contrast to “design–bid–build”, design–build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.

We take a very grass roots hands on approach to becoming familiar with your site/project and your goals. We ascertain a derivative of the project and ensure that it is reflected through from the design development phase through the actual construction. Our current mission is to provide a one stop shop for a “soup to nuts” service. We want clients to come in with lots of ideas and end up with finished projects that can they live in and be proud of.
