Design Build Construction Process

Design-build construction is just what it sounds like: at Hammers Construction, Inc. in Colorado Springs, CO, we handle and manage the entire project, from start to finish.

With over 25 years of experience, our team gathers the best construction professionals for the job.

Revolutionizing the Design-Build Process in 4 Easy Steps

Phase 1: Square Foot Analysis

During this phase, we ensure the feasibility of your project. The square foot analysis generates a budget that you can take to the bank for pre-approval. Most importantly, this gives you and the bank an idea of what the project is going to cost. This allows you to be confident that you can build your desired structure while staying in your desired budget. The best part, this step is free! Before starting the job, we answer two questions for you:

Is your site suitable for the desired structure?

Zoning regulations
Land use designation
Utility costs
Topography
Historical records

What is your structure going to cost?

Detailed per-square-foot cost budget
Land evaluation costs
Evaluation of future growth costs

Phase 2: The Design-Build Construction Agreement

This step answers the question: Is this project going to appraise? Your bank is going to ask for an appraisal quality set of drawings to ensure that the loan will go through. Hammers Construction, Inc., produces this set, consisting of a site plan, floor plan, and elevations of your building, without breaking the bank.

Your construction agreement will include:

Cost Breakdown
Site plan
Floor plan
Elevations

Phase 3: The Service Agreement

When your project requires a more detailed bid and customized services, the service agreement will provide you with the specific, accurate details, reports and numbers you need. We work with you to determine the services your unique project will need before we begin the project. This way, we stay completely transparent and open with you and your project stays within your budget.

The next thing the bank will want is a permit set of drawings and a construction agreement. The service agreement produces a full permit ready set of drawings, which includes all engineering and produces a hard bid construction contract.

Your Service Agreement may include:

Soils reports
Phase 1 requirements
Zoning requirements
Site replatting
Drainage report and plan
Traffic studies
Final Landscape Plan
Sections
Full set of building specifications
Contract for Construction
