Saved time = Saved money
The traditional
Design – Bid – Build
process is
flawed.
Here’s how to fix it.
The traditional Design – Bid – Build process begins when you contract with an architect to develop building plans which get passed along to a construction team.
This structure puts you in the middle of two service providers – design services and construction services – who often have opposing interests. Not only can it drive up project costs and timelines, it creates management headaches and takes you away from what matters most – your business.
Most building project owners have an average rate of $200/hour. What’s the value of that time when invested back into the business rather than managing design and construction services?
Design – Build
Instead
Imperien streamlines the process by offering Design – Build services. Design – Build projects with an experienced construction manager like Imperien can save up to 6.1% on the unit cost of a building project while enjoying a 12% faster construction speed.

Our expertise in managing a building project – from conceptual design through construction – gets you out of the middle while saving time and money at the same time.

HOW DO YOU GET THE BEST FACILITY FOR YOUR MONEY? MODEL YOUR ENTIRE OPERATION IN VIRTUAL REALITY!
We often tell clients that the most important part of a capital building project isn’t the building…it’s the manufacturing operation that goes INSIDE it.
HOW DO YOU BEAT YOUR COMPETITORS IN THE NEXT BULL MARKET?
The COVID-19 pandemic has obviously had a huge impact on nearly every business out there today. Big or small and regardless of industry you’ve had to make changes to the way you do business.
THE TRUE COST OF YOUR FACILITY
How much does your manufacturing facility cost you? You’ve got rent or mortgage payments, insurance, utilities, taxes…that’s about it right? What about lost productivity? Does your building have columns in the way of your forklifts? Do you wish you had an extra truck dock? Is space in your facility at a premium?
