Design Build
VP Builders
Varco Pruden is the leader in design and construction of Commercial, Industrial, and Retail facilities throughout North America.As an authorized VP Builder, we can input your building criteria and retrieve design data and create structural drawings in minimal time through VP Command.
The VP Command System gives the contractor and design firm the flexibility to by-pass the lengthy time required to receive approval documents.
Buildings that meet the Fast-Track Status design parameters can have delivery to the construction site in four weeks after order has been placed at the factory.
Why Design-Build?
1. Establish a budget for the project and a conceptual plan for no fee.
2. Reduced time, since the pricing process takes place while the design is being completed.
3. Reduced construction costs, since we work closely with our estimators-project managers to value engineer your project during the design and construction stages to insure that the building will be within budget.
4. With a trusting relationship in place, the tension on the job is reduced. There is no place for finger pointing between the design firm and the construction firm since we do both.
5. More experienced in working with City planning departments on permitting and with engineering firms on the various design issues.
Design-build utilizing a "building system approach" can save you between 25-30% in construction time. In fact, in some cases the time required to select a design team, design the project, select a contractor, and obtain a permit will take longer than the actual construction.
