What Makes a Design-Builder a Dental Construction Expert?
I’d like to address a question that has been posed to me about what makes a contractor specialized in Dental Construction. We’ve claimed for a couple of decades now to be an expert at dental office construction, but what does that mean? There are many out there that think a building is a building, but most Dentists will recognize that a design-builder that’s versed in dental operations will make a big difference in the final building design, quality of construction and completion date.
The Vital Role of Community Engagement in School Bond Campaigns

Design-Build Services Explained with Examples
Design-Build Construction (DB) is one of the increasingly popular methods of construction.

This is because Design-Build perks include earlier budget information, faster completion, a single-source to contact for all project needs, and the ability to judge which subcontractors offer the best value for their project.
