DESIGN BUILD COMMERCIAL CONTRACTOR

Design build commercial contractors use a delivery method that streamlines and simplifies two previously separate phases of construction: Project Design and General Construction. At David E. Looper & Company, our many years in the construction industry form a strong foundation for our design/build services. We draw upon our experience with the industry’s leading design firms to create a solid design/build team to meet the needs and goals of your project.

Delco provides team leadership and a single point of responsibility. We assign a team comprised of experts in the type of facility you are building, and we actively manage the overall effort. We eliminate your responsibility for coordinating activities between the designer and the builder—our single contract covers architecture, engineering and construction services.

David E. Looper & Company’s staff includes professionals in all areas, from estimating, scheduling and procurement, to construction administration, safety, quality, cost control, and final close-out. This turnkey solution covers all facets of design and construction and offers a streamlined process to ensure you receive the best value possible in both building functionality and cost of construction.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Sound planning is an essential keystone of project success. Long before construction begins, preconstruction management offers the greatest opportunity to have a positive impact on the cost, schedule and value of your project. Our team has the knowledge and experience to provide timely and accurate information regarding project cost, alternative systems/materials and schedule, as well as value-added options. These tools help you make informed decisions to realize the most value and meet the needs of the end users at the same time.

With David E. Looper & Company, you have the added benefit of working with the same project team throughout pre-construction and construction for a seamless process from start to finish. Our pre-construction services include:

• Managing your budget, materials selections, constructability and schedules
• Determine site conditions, constraints and phasing requirements
