Design-Assist™
Our unique Design-Assist™ service offering delivers clarity between design professionals and building manufacturers. JB STEEL™ can act as a supplementary team member to an existing design team to work through the detailing of PEMB's and structural steel components. We understand that there are a lot of complexities with coordinating the main architectural design with the metal building shop drawings, so we are here to help! Given our experience with PEMB manufacturers, we understand the unique ordering and detailing process that can be difficult to know if you are new to metal buildings. We aim to improve the constructability, quality and clarity of any project involving a metal building.
What is a Design-Assist™ Contractor
A Design-Assist contractor provides input, process, and expertise on the design of the project. This can help to avoid costly mistakes and delays later in the project. Additionally, a Design-Assist contractor can often provide a more cost-effective solution than a traditional contractor. They are able to do this by taking into account the entire scope of the project, not just the individual tasks that need to be completed.
When is a Good Time to Use a Design-Assist Contractor?
Design-Assist is a good option for commercial and industrial construction projects when the contractor wants to have more control over the design and/or needs assistance with the coordination of subcontractors. When JB STEEL™ is brought in as a Design-Assist contractor, they are able to help the customer finalize their design, work with the subcontractors to ensure that everyone is on schedule, and handle any problems that may arise. This can save the customer time and money and results in a smoother construction project.
Why It's Important to Get a Contractor Involved Early
Involving the contractor in the design process can help to avoid potential problems and save time and money. Often, contractors are able to see potential issues with the design that may not be evident to those who are not familiar with construction. By catching these potential problems early on, it can help to avoid costly changes down the road.

"We make a lot of changes and we need them to be on our team, not opposing each other but walk through it together to figure out a solution. We put them through the wringer and they delivered.
