Design-Build Construction
Design-build eliminates the gap between design and construction by placing both under a single contract with one accountable team. At Bolt, that means PE-licensed engineers and self-perform crews working together from preconstruction through commissioning -- no finger-pointing, no coordination failures, no surprises. Research from the Construction Industry Institute confirms what we see in the field: design-build delivers projects 33.5% faster with 6.1% lower cost than traditional design-bid-build.
What we deliver.
Single-source accountability
One contract, one team, one standard. The firm that designs the project is the firm that builds it. No coordination gaps between architects, engineers, and contractors.
PE-stamped engineering
Licensed professional engineers develop structural calculations, foundation designs, and construction documents in-house -- integrated with field operations from day one.
Value engineering
Our engineers optimize designs for constructability before breaking ground. We identify cost savings and schedule compression opportunities during preconstruction -- not as change orders during construction.
Budget certainty
Design-build provides a guaranteed maximum price earlier in the process. Our self-perform model gives us direct cost control on 40-60% of total project value, reducing the unknowns that drive cost overruns.
Accelerated schedule
Phased design release and parallel-path construction start work months before traditional delivery. CII research documents 33.5% faster completion versus design-bid-build.
Quality control
The engineers who design the foundation are the same people who inspect the rebar and watch the pour. Self-perform construction eliminates the quality gap between design intent and field execution.
