D&D advocates Design/Build projects for owners who are interested in: saving time, minimizing construction costs, eliminating change orders, minimizing misunderstandings, and obtaining a robust yet pocketbook friendly plumbing and mechanical system.

D&D has worked with several General Contractors on Design/Build jobs, and D&D has also acted as the Prime Contractor on several Design/Build jobs.

The owners of D&D are well versed in all areas of plumbing/mechanical systems, and they are more than capable of designing most any system. In addition, D&D has a Professional Mechanical Engineer on staff who is licensed in both California and Nevada. For projects that require dry-side mechanical systems, D&D also has the ability to bring in a dry-side Mechanical Contractor with Design/Build experience.

A typical Design/Build job might include the following steps:

1. D&D meets with the Owner or General Contractor and determines the general Scope of Work.
2. D&D conducts a rough design and formulates a Design/Build price that includes all design work and construction.
3. D&D formalizes the design, creates permit drawings, and gets input from the Owner or General Contractor.
4. D&D finalizes the design, creates final construction drawings, and revises their Design/Build price.
5. D&D does the construction on all of the plumbing and mechanical systems.
6. D&D creates As-Built drawings and compiles Operating and Maintenance Manuals.
