Design-Build – the Third Dimension

Teamed with our sister construction company, Ecological Restoration and Management, Inc., Biohabitats’ turnkey design-build services for ecological restoration projects are the key to your success.

The process of ecological restoration is a continuum – spanning from the initial assessment and design of a site, through the construction and extending into monitoring and management. The link between design, construction and management is a critical part of that continuum – one that can make or break your project.

That’s why we offer design-build services. By bringing our intimate knowledge of both site conditions and the technical aspects of our restoration strategies to the design – construction transition, we can ensure that your project is built and managed with the greatest likelihood of success.

	Saving time and money by streamlining the design process
	Eliminating contract bid documents, contractor procurement, and contractor oversight
	Reducing administration and client staff time
	Minimizing risks – Biohabitats assumes complete responsibility for the success of the project
	Creating more flexibility in making changes and implementing contingency plans during the construction process
