Design Build

One accountable team from concept to keys.

When design and construction are kept apart, projects often slow down and budgets drift. Westco’s Design Build model solves that by bringing architects, engineers, estimators, and builders together under one contract. From the first sketches to handing over the keys, you’ll have a single point of accountability and the confidence your project will stay on track.

WHY CHOOSE DESIGN BUILD?

  • Fewer handoffs, faster decisions – Design and construction work hand-in-hand, compressing timelines without cutting corners.

  • Budget certainty built in – Estimates and value engineering are embedded in the design process, minimizing surprises.

  • One contract, one team – Clear ownership of cost, schedule, and quality from day one.

  • Smarter collaboration – Daily alignment between designers and builders means fewer conflicts and smoother delivery.
