Design-Build
Design-Build is a method of project delivery in which one entity – the Design-Build team – works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services.
This strategic integration maximizes efficiency, improves communication, holds down costs, and allows a unified, coordinated flow of work from conception to construction. C.T. Brayton & Sons, Inc. has successfully delivered office buildings, medical office buildings, schools, stadiums, and transportation projects with superior results
