DESIGN-BUILD

Start with Design-Build

Buildings house nearly every function of daily life, from the small to the massive: meals,

shopping, work and play. Bringing a new building to life is a complex process that relies on

communication and understanding. Whether your building will be an industrial facility, a

manufacturing hub, a sleek office tower or a consumer retail development, you want

your design and construction to come together seamlessly.

While many firms provide design-build delivery, that’s only our starting point.

We go further. Our design and construction professionals are on the same

team from the start of your project to its finish. We’re committed to helping

you implement solutions that address your project’s needs, from

speed to market to Lean practices to building information modeling

(BIM) that supports your path forward. Integrated delivery,

scalable processes and in-depth understanding of design and

construction for your market come with every project we do.

Like no other design firm or construction contractor, we

design and build with a single vision: your success.

Taking design-build further.

Design-build project delivery, at its core, is about streamlining the process from facility

conception to final completion. It’s about reducing costs, accelerating the schedule and

improving quality and safety. It cuts the burden shouldered by you as an owner. It lets your

management teams focus on your business, not on the details of design and construction.

But we go further. We provide solutions-led design-build. What’s different about that?

It means that we are your fully integrated, single-source design and construction partner,

focused on the project goals that lead to a facility that meets your needs. Our design and

construction professionals are employee-owners who work together under the same roof,

every day. In combination, they have the full range of specialties needed to advance your

project — certified commissioning authorities, Lean Six Sigma masters, procurement and

expediting professionals, BIM designers and more.

As your partner and your single source of project responsibility, we deliver the best value

for your construction budget. We understand critical factors like speed to market and

scalability, and we lead an uncompromising safety program on every project.

Design-Build Delivery Speed to market with a close eye on cost.

In competitive marketplaces, key questions drive every decision: When can we move in?

When can we start production? When can we open for business? You need a short path

from design to operation. In construction, time really is money. At Burns & McDonnell,

we’ve focused our integrated design-build capabilities to allow for streamlined delivery of

projects to the market, on your timeline. Strategic execution plans guide your program’s

implementation regardless of your program’s scope or number of sites.

From feasibility through final completion, cost is at the forefront for your project — every

project. Cost can easily become a crucial obstacle to your project’s success if it isn’t

understood and managed efficiently. Design-build delivery, in its basic form, provides

cost advantages. Our integrated design and construction teams have an established

process for real-time estimating and pricing feedback. Our real-cost data maximizes your

project and business goals without sacrificing your project safety, schedule, performance

or quality. Our approach to cost helps you and the entire project team understand costs

earlier in the design process. Better information, provided earlier, enables you to make

the right decisions for your project and, ultimately, your business.

Retrofits supporting growth and brand consistency.

Hy-Vee Market Cafés

Midwest

In today’s world, an exceptional visitor experience makes a critical difference

in an owner’s bottom line. It’s even more important in a highly competitive

retail environment like a grocery store. To enhance customer experiences

and increase revenue, grocery store chain Hy-Vee is rolling out a new dining

concept — the Market Café — across 32 store in less than a year. The goal is

to offer a high-end experience complete with an upscale menu, craft beers and

outdoor patios.

The accelerated timeline called for a fully integrated design-build approach,

tailored to the infrastructure and architecture of each location. Design-build

enables flexibility and scalability, bringing the right people to each site at the

right time, creating efficiencies in budget and schedule. The design-build team

and process helped each store maintain its revenues during construction and

provided key functions, including daily safety checks, public access control,

aesthetically pleasing barriers, dust elimination measures and temporary

café operations.

A focus on finding the best value for your project.Whether you call it “bang for your buck” or “stretching your budget further,” you want

your project to achieve the best value for your capital outlay. Through our integrated

design-build process, we bring value delivery into the project from the start. Each project

plan begins with a determination of the key elements that will define success for your

project, whether that is total installed cost, first cost, operations cost or another measure.

Design, constructability reviews and cost conversations occur early in the project timeline,

rather than waiting until bridging documents are in play. Decisions are made and refined

at the outset, when the impact on final cost is lower. Design-build also allows us to

incorporate strategies for the most effective subcontractor prequalifications

and scope management.

Our process incorporates Lean principles for design, construction and

procurement. It addresses life-cycle costs for operational efficiency and

maintainability. Knowing these costs up front can alter the overall cost equation

and guide you to best value decisions. Our experience with BIM helps

identify potential project challenges and provides cost-efficient solutions

before construction begins, reducing costly rework and

schedule impact.

Enhanced value through BIM. Battlespace Environment Laboratory

Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M.

The focus was to minimize schedule and cost impacts for this turnkey delivery

project for a new two-story laboratory facility relocating the Air Force Research

Laboratory Space Vehicles Battlespace Environment Laboratory. The facility

features lab administration space for research, analysis, engineering, support and

management, with high-vacuum environments, clean rooms, metallurgy, chemistry,

spectrometry, computer modeling, space data processing, space operations,

remote sensing and quantum computing.

Building information modeling (BIM) was key to expedited decision-making

processes, providing an enhanced ability to visualize, discuss and understand

design options and solutions for the complex facility. Major subcontractors used

the BIM environment to enhance design and construction solutions for steel,

mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems. Identifying potential points of

interference before fabrication meant the project saw nearly zero changes during

field work, resulting in saved time and money.

Design for flexibility and corporate branding.// OG&E Innovation Zone

Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) IT team is recognized for innovation

on the national stage. The move from a 19th century icehouse into a light-

filled office tower on Leadership Square provided an opportunity for a new

working environment reflective of that innovative edge. The project, branded

the Innovation Zone, represented a cultural and creative shift that showcases

technology advancements and facilitates information sharing.

Burns & McDonnell led a design charrette with OG+E to focus the planning

process, resulting in a flexible office design. Two-person quick meeting spaces,

large conference rooms and flexible furniture arrangements support long-term

teaming. Amenity areas like break rooms feature varied café seating styles that

can be used throughout the day as alternate work spaces and meeting spots.

The final design and constructed facility balances open team environments with

quiet areas for individual tasks and customer service.

Trust earned through reliability, consistency.

Lockheed Martin Corp.

California, Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania,

South Carolina and Texas

From small studies through complex manufacturing programs, our partnership

with Lockheed Martin demonstrates a relationship based on trust and reliability.

Our approach is customized to each project, implementing the delivery method

that best fits each initiative — design-build, engineer-procure-construct, design

only, construct only, master planning, time and material, firm fixed price or

guaranteed maximum price — and establishing a project team with the right

experience. The flexibility to address such project needs as subcontractor

oversight and classified status has helped Lockheed Martin move forward with

confidence and trust.

What started with a single technical manufacturing facility has launched into a

partnership that has branched into management of the construction, renovation

and integration of more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing space as

well as flight line support facilities, office environments and strategic planning

assistance. The Burns & McDonnell difference comes through our people,

with team members dedicated to Lockheed Martin for more than 15 years,

developing the consistency, responsiveness and understanding that leads to

long-term partnership.

Crown Center Sea Life Aquarium & Legoland Discovery Center

Crown Center Redevelopment Corp.

Kansas City, Mo

Crown Center is a community hub, attracting tourists and area residents

alike. A plan was in place to redevelop a portion of the office and retail

complex to house two public attractions with unique space demands.

The Burns & McDonnell design-build team worked closely with landlords

and developers to maintain the area’s high standards for environmentally

responsible management, disposal of waste materials and installation of

materials within the building envelope. A new exterior entrance welcomes

visitors from the center’s popular fountain and ice skating plaza.

The project involved extensive demolition of existing infrastructure, clearing

two floors of a department store, and making major structural modifications

to accommodate large aquarium tanks and displays. During this work, the full

complement of shopping, events and traffic continued to function normally,

requiring a unique and dedicated approach to safety programming.
