Our Services

Three variables that must be effectively managed to deliver a successful project are time, cost and scope.

ELS Construction’s design-build construction services combine design, schedule and maintaining construction costs into one, single point of responsibility. This construction delivery method greatly benefits the owner as the general contractor provides a single point of contact, responsibility and contractual risk for both the design and construction phases of the project. Pre-construction architecture, estimating, schematics, engineering, and subcontractor selection; new construction and post-construction management are all provided by one source- the design-build general contractor. This collaboration also provides rapid delivery due to the design and construction phases occurring concurrently. Most importantly, it provides better communication between the owner and the general contractor. The design-build process also allows for the owner to have a better understanding of guaranteed costs and the architect and contractor to work as a team leaving the owner free to focus more on the scope of the project.
