In 1994, we started FacilityBUILD because we were frustrated by the construction process. The industry was inefficient, inflexible and out-of-touch. It used old-fashioned Design-Bid-Build project delivery methods that were time and money consuming, and caused adversarial relationships between owners, architects, and contractors. Project design was handled independently. It was painfully slow, and seemed to have no regard for the Client's budget. Communication was poor, causing unnecessary change-orders and schedule delays. Quality seemed to be what you could get by with, when no one was looking. Construction pricing was inconsistent and lacked sufficient detail to understand what you were paying for. Facility Owners/Operators told us they were tired of the "Lies" and "Surprises" of construction.
