We’re a Nashville-based, full-service commercial design build firm, leading projects from idea to creation.
Originally, there was a master builder—the best in the land. Since they were the only one responsible, the stakes were high if the building fell.
Within the past 100 years, the design and construction worlds separated, likely in an effort to defer liability.
The result? A method with lots of moving parts, separate entities, separate responsibilities, and lots of blame.
Our solution is simple: we manage one contract. Architect and general contractor are one and the same, with a single point of responsibility. All costs and profits are transparent. No design/build/bid, and no two party design and construction team.
