Services
One contract for design and construction, with a single team accountable for both.
Under design-build, Westland holds one contract with the owner and brings the design team under it. We coordinate consultants, manage permitting and carry the work through construction, so design decisions are made with cost, schedule and constructability in view from the start.

Our approach
Confirm the owner's program, operational constraints, budget and schedule, and the existing-condition and permit risks, before design begins.
Engage the architect and engineers under Westland's contract, so one party is accountable for coordinating the drawings and the construction that follows.
Price the design as it develops, with value-engineering options that show their effect on schedule, quality, operation and warranty before the owner decides.
Coordinate the permit submission and respond to municipal review, acting as the owner's point of contact with the authority having jurisdiction.
Where the building stays in use, agree work windows, hoarding, noise limits and public circulation routes with the owner before mobilization.
Turn over as-builts, manuals, warranties and authority sign-offs, and administer warranty through a single point of contact.
