Design/Build...

…has become an increasingly popular approach in which the owner maintains an agreement with a singular entity to provide both the design and construction of the building. A fast process for fast moving companies! The advantages to this approach are numerous: the project can be delivered faster; one point source of accountability for all aspects of the project; design and construction are integrated from the early stages of planning into a unified system; quality and value are assured by early accurate budgeting and a guaranteed maximum price.

Consciously, the Hansen Company has decided not to bring design capabilities in-house but rather to assemble partnerships with the most qualified team of design professionals as dictated by the scope of each project. As the design industry becomes increasingly "building-type specialized" we feel this approach brings the greatest benefit to the owner. The proof of the success of this method: Over a dozen projects completed or in process in the last two years alone.
