Design Build Construction

Commercial construction has a reputation for being complicated, but we believe it all comes down to trust. When you have a team that brings decades of expertise to the table, you get unmatched attention to detail and a crew that looks out for your best interests from day one.

Hearing from our clients after the dust settles is the ultimate reminder of why we love what we do in this community.

Before the excavators roll, look up!

Clearing trees without the right knowledge is one of the fastest ways to face massive fines and stall your timeline. Local zoning can get tough with trees over 24 inches, like historic Live Oaks, where removal is completely prohibited without rigorous administrative approval. Even driving heavy machinery over root zones can violate the ordinance, and mistakes are costly.

At Design Build Construction, we evaluate your site first. We'll map out structure placement to design around local zoning constraints from day one, saving you time while protecting our trees and your budget.

In commercial construction, mid-project adjustments, commonly known as change orders, frequently arise from inadequate initial planning. When unique regional variables and strict local zoning guidelines are overlooked in budgeting, the asset owner inherits the operational and financial risk.

We mitigate this through rigorous Pre-Construction Planning. With more than 30 years of commercial building experience across the greater Charleston area, our team possesses the local knowledge required to anticipate logistical and structural complexities before they impact you.

Accessibility cannot be impacted in the name of flooding, but those two things are often at odds in the commercial build process. It may not look like most buildings in Summerville and North Charleston are above-grade, but that just means it's a great design!

Yes, we have a bit of traffic congestion here in Charleston. It can actually influence more than you think when it comes to a new commercial construction build. Here are two things to consider when choosing a spot for your new business.

As a commercial construction company in the booming area of Charleston, SC, you might imagine that volume is the name of the game. But at the heart of our business is our client partners who rely on us to get the job done right, and that requires an unmatched attention to detail.

Site feasibility is a consequential step before you buy a piece of land for a commercial build. If you're new to the Lowcountry, you may not know that we have a lot of unique factors that make building difficult. We have seismic activity, hurricanes, and flooding, which all require their own set of standards. And that's before you consider a building with any historical significance!
