PROJECT DELIVERY
What project delivery method fits your project?
Every project is unique, and selecting the right project delivery method is one of the most important decisions an owner will make. At DBS Design Services, our team has extensive experience delivering successful projects through a variety of public and private procurement methods.
Whether serving as the owner's architect, coordinating with a construction manager, or partnering in a Design-Build team, we tailor our services to meet each client's goals, schedule, budget, and project requirements.
Design-Build
Why choose Design-Build?
Design-Build is a collaborative project delivery method that brings the owner, designer, and contractor together as one integrated team under a single contract. Rather than separating design and construction into independent phases, both disciplines work together from the beginning to develop practical solutions that balance design intent, constructability, schedule, and budget.
By involving both the designer and builder early in the process, Design-Build encourages collaboration, streamlines communication, reduces risk, and helps projects move efficiently from concept to completion.
Benefits of Design-Build
Best Value. Faster Completion. Reduced Cost.
DBS Design Services maintains a collaborative working relationship with Diverse Building Solutions to provide integrated Design-Build services for projects where owners choose this delivery method.
By combining experienced architectural design professionals with an established construction team, we provide clients with a seamless project experience—from initial planning and design through construction and project completion.

- Faster Project Delivery
- Better Budget Control

Trusted Project Oversight
Owner Representation You Can Trust
For public institutions, DBS Design can provide design services as part of a prequalified Design-Build team or serve as the Criteria Architect. Our licensed professionals have experience serving as Criteria Architects on Ohio public projects, helping owners establish clear project objectives, develop comprehensive Design Criteria Packages, evaluate Design-Build teams, and protect the owner's design intent from concept through completion. We can also provide owner representation and lead the project without impacting project budgets.
While Design-Build is an excellent solution for many projects, our team is equally experienced supporting owners through traditional Design-Bid-Build, Construction Manager at Risk, Construction Manager as Agent, and other project delivery methods. Our focus is helping clients select the approach that best aligns with their project goals.
