Design-Build With design-build the contractor acts as a single of point contact for the client and accept responsibility for both design and construction. At F&B Builders, Inc. the complete design is preformed in-house which fast tracks the project and allows for cost projections in the first stages of the process. More than 75% of the projects constructed by F&B Builders, Inc. is completed via design-build. Construction Management Construction management is when a contractor is selected prior to actual construction. The construction manager works with the architects and engineers to better provide preliminary budgets, construction analysis, value engineering, scheduling and work force availability. Once the design phase is completed the construction manager proceeds with construction for an agreed upon fee for the management services provided. General Contracting The most traditional form of construction is general contracting. With general contracting the client is responsible for and contracts directly with the necessary architects and engineers for complete design. Upon completion of design the client typically obtains multiple bids from general contractors based solely on the plans provided. The client then contracts with the lowest bid for the specified amount regardless of what actual construction cost maybe.
Pre-Engineered Steel Building Systems  Pre-engineered steel building systems offer a wide range of flexibility at a value typically less than conventional construction, which make them ideal for non-residential low-rise construction. With the ability to brick, stucco or side the exterior it is clear why most light commercial construction has converted to pre-engineered steel building systems.
