Project delivery that’s built for innovation

WSB’s progressive design-build project delivery supports stronger collaboration around scoping, estimating, design, and construction. This alternative approach enables clients to choose the best delivery method to achieve their goals, prioritizing WSB’s depth of experience and qualifications. Progressive design-build, like design-build, offers more opportunity for innovation and faster project execution by limiting surprises and reducing risk. Progressive design-build delivery optimizes workflows, improves communication, minimizes delays, and expedites timelines, allowing clients to reach stakeholder goals faster while maintaining WSB’s top-of-the-industry quality.

A smarter path from concept to construction

WSB offers technical expertise and strategic oversight through every phase of the design, estimating, planning and execution, helping teams make informed decisions early. Progressive design-build creates space to refine scope and align expectations before costs and schedules harden, reducing risk and change later in the project. Our integrated oversight keeps design intent and constructability aligned, so solutions stay practical and buildable. With strong project controls, we strengthen budget confidence and provide clear visibility into progress as the work advances. We coordinate closely with stakeholders to resolve issues quickly and keep decisions moving without sacrificing quality. The result is a more predictable delivery process that accelerates timelines while protecting performance and compliance. Clients gain a partner that brings innovation to the table and accountability to the outcome.
