The JB STEEL® Design-Build Construction Process

At JB STEEL® we are more than just a general contractor. We are a Self-Performing, Design-Build contractor. Over the years we have developed a process that allows us to handle your project efficiently and under one roof. The steps below are an overview of that process.

Step By Step Process

  1. Initial Inquiry - This is the starting point for any design-build project, where the client's initial contact and discussion sets the foundation for the project.
  2. Consultation & Site Assessment - Critical for understanding the project's specifics, like location, environment, and client needs, which are crucial in planning and design.
  3. Design & Planning - The core of the design-build process, where ideas are transformed into preliminary designs. This phase is especially important with a self-performing contractor, as we can integrate our construction expertise early in the design phase. We provide intermittent budgeting at various points throughout the design process so everyone stays on the same page.
  4. Permitting & Legal Compliance - Ensuring the project adheres to local regulations and obtains necessary permits is essential for any construction project, more so for a self-performing contractor who oversees these aspects themselves.
  5. Final Quotation & Contract - Providing a detailed quote and contract signing are standard steps in formalizing the project scope, budget, and timelines.
  6. Construction Phase - As a self-performing contractor, JB STEEL® would directly manage and execute the construction, an integral part of the design-build process.
  7. Preparation & Foundation Work - Ground preparation and laying the foundation are initial physical steps in the construction process, crucial for a self-performing contractor who manages these tasks directly.
  8. Interior Finishing & Customization - The interior finishing stage focuses on installing durable materials and essential systems to ensure a functional and safe workspace. 
  9. Quality Inspection & Adjustments - Continuous quality checks and adjustments ensure the project meets the required standards, a key responsibility for a self-performing contractor.
  10. Interior Finishing & Customization - The interior finishing stage focuses on installing durable materials and essential systems to ensure a functional and safe workspace. 
  11. Final Walkthrough & Handover - This step ensures client satisfaction and is crucial for closing the project effectively.
  12. Post-Construction Support - Ongoing support and maintenance advice are vital for client satisfaction and long-term project success. Because of this, we provide a 1-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
