WCC Design + Build
At WCC, we bring generations of experience in architecture and general contracting. This allows us to deliver a true ‘turn-key’ project of any size, designed, managed and built with the same team start to finish. In addition to the savings in design time, detail integration, and construction coordination, this allows a project to be delivered under a single contract which aligns all involved parties toward the same goal, fostering a truly cooperative and productive project delivery.
As an Architectural and General Building Contracting Firm we take pride in offering Design+Build Services. We feel by hiring a firm that provides these functions you minimize, if not eliminate, the opportunity for details to be lost in translation. The design build approach has proven to create:
- Complete project integration
- Value Engineering on a day-to-day basis
- Flexibility for changes
- Design, Finishes, and Material compatibility
- Budget control

The Delivery
When a client engages in our partnership, the project progression is somewhat different than the traditional ‘design, bid, build’ project approach. This structure provides the best possible value to the client for document preparation, detail coordination, and architectural project oversight allowing the budget to be spent on the space itself and the finishes.
One option we like to offer and have come to find of great success on previous projects is a Complete Open Books Cost Plus Contract. This approach generally builds a very transparent atmosphere. It gives the client the ability to shop with us to create a successful budget consciously driven project. Of course the preliminary budget estimate is ultimately the influential force, but we all know things change. We feel this method is very beneficial for the specific client who is in a design-build scenario with the necessity for value engineering and flexibility for changes. The main advantages we have come to find is the protection provided for both parties, especially when faced with unforeseen problems throughout construction.
