Design-Build — In-House Design, BIM & 3D Modeling

One accountable team for design and construction — in-house drafting, BIM, and 3D models so you see your building before we build it.

Design-Build

Design and build under one roof

North River is a design-build contractor: we handle the design and the construction, so you have one accountable team from first sketch to final walk-through. In-house drafting, BIM, and 3D models let you see and adjust your building before a footer is poured — no surprises, fewer change orders, and a tighter schedule.

FAQ

Common questions

What is design-build?

Design-build means one company handles both the design and the construction of your project under a single contract, instead of hiring a designer and a separate contractor. It usually means fewer change orders, better coordination, and a faster schedule.

Do you do 3D models and BIM?

Yes. We draft in-house and use BIM and 3D modeling so you can see and adjust the building before construction starts.
