Design-Build Services | The McFate Group Design-Build Firm

Services

One-Stop-Shop Approach

Our goal is to provide clients with all design-build services from one point of contact. We believe that quality, completion dates, and costs can be firmly controlled by assigning total responsibility to one entity: the design-builder. What does this mean for you? We want to take a project from conceptual design and budget development through construction management to completion and occupancy. Our design-build method means costs are established early on in the project to save you time and money.

Design-Build

When you hire us, we will be responsible for managing all contracts with the architect, subcontractors, equipment vendors, and materials providers.

Construction Management

We manage multiple teams as well as their on-site activity to ensure cooperation, to meet timelines, and stay under budget.

Butler Manufacturing

The McFate Group is an authorized builder of Butler Manufacturing products and services, including structural, roof, and wall systems.

Planning Pre-Construction

We see ourselves as the facilitator for the owner, orchestrating partnerships between designers, engineers, and subcontractors to achieve a contract early in the design process.

Construction

We like to get our hands dirty. From small repairs, to complex, multi-phased renovation, to new construction, we provide hands-on expertise in various aspects of the job, like steel, concrete, and masonry work.

Post-Construction Services

Construction isn’t over for us until we go through a series of checklist items. This might include submitting as-built and maintenance manuals, coordinating punch list items, and documenting warranties.

Architecture + Design

Whether it’s teaming up with the client design team or having our in-house architect design the project from inception, our goal is to put your project on the fast track to completion.

Safety

Whether it’s at the office or on the job site, we take pride in creating a safe environment for our employees. We continually update our practices to keep our job sites safe and clean.

Cost Estimating

We try to establish cost and a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) during the design stage. Unlike the traditional method, the project cost is not realized until the project goes out to bid.

Value Engineering

We are personally invested in the quality of each project because our reputation depends on it. With your objectives in mind, our team provides budgets and value analyses of various systems and their alternatives.

Sustainability

We have LEED® accredited professionals on staff who work with you to make your building energy efficient. We also offer a range of energy-efficient Butler systems that can achieve a thermal efficiency rating in order to meet or exceed code.

Self-Performed Trades

Our team consists of well-rounded people who are craftsmen by trade. Their diverse skill set allows us to provide services like carpentry, concrete, demolition, drywall, masonry, structural fabrication and pre-engineered steel erection.
