Design Build Benefits

Design-Build offers many potential advantages over traditional design-bid-build project delivery methods. However, it requires that the Design-build contractor can handle the design and build teams in house and has the capability and financial strength to provide the guaranteed cost before the design is place.

Kepa Offers:
1) A single source of responsibility and point of contact by our strong joint venture building and teaming capabilities. One of our current joint venture projects is close to $4.2m with a local partner for a Navy facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

2) Greater flexibility to develop more innovative and efficient project solutions with lump sum price and bond for multi-million dollar but short time frame projects. Kepa's working experience with its long term AE IDIQ project under VA and its staff's engineering and constructing experiences are some of the key elements for our capability to assess the risk and complete the challenging projects.

3) Greater Cost-Effectiveness because the client will have only one budget to work with and one responsible party. Kepa's past performances in its self performed interior finishing, craftsman and rough carpenter plus special railing apparatus installation for handicap and assisted Living facilities proved that our staff can provide the one stop service for large or small projects.

4) A Shortened Project Schedule due to the Overlapping of design and construction processes.

5) Fewer change orders.

6) Efficient obligation of funds and one bond to cover design services and construction phase.
