Construction Management
Build-to-suit projects are multifaceted undertakings that require vast technical knowledge, dozens of subcontractors and suppliers, hundreds of workers, and millions of dollars in material, equipment, and services. Coordinating operations at that scale requires a knowledgeable, first-rate construction management team along with time-tested construction practices, something Premier Construction & Design has been providing for almost four decades.
Our construction management services are custom-tailored to each project's needs, size, and complexity. Every project is personal to Premier. We take pride in everything we do, from project planning, design, and permits, through site development and all phases of construction.

Stakeholders work towards achieving project end goals such as performing commissioning, achieving certificate of occupancy, and assembling accurate closeout documentation as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Integrated
Design-Build Process
Our design-build process focuses on early validation and informed decision-making. By engaging key stakeholders early, we help establish clear project objectives and realistic expectations before construction begins.
This approach allows us to identify challenges early and resolve them before they impact construction.
Early Design Coordination
Early design coordination and planning that aligns the full project team around clear objectives before any commitments are made to construction.
Budget Validation
Budget validation and detailed cost estimating that give owners a realistic picture of project costs before design decisions are locked in.
Schedule Development
Schedule development and milestone planning that establish realistic timelines and keep every phase of the project moving toward on-time delivery.
Constructability Reviews
Ongoing design reviews and constructability analysis that catch conflicts and inefficiencies in the drawings before they reach the field.
Integrated Project Delivery Advantage
Premier Construction utilizes an Integrated Project Delivery mindset within our design-build projects to improve outcomes and reduce inefficiencies. By aligning all stakeholders under a shared framework, we eliminate the gaps that typically inflate cost and compress timelines on traditionally siloed projects.
This delivery model is especially valuable for complex commercial projects in the Detroit market where coordination and timing are critical.
When Design-Build Is the Right Fit
Premier Construction utilizes an Integrated Project Delivery mindset within our design-build projects to improve outcomes and reduce inefficiencies. Design-build is particularly effective when owners need a single point of accountability, faster delivery, and tighter cost control from the start.
This delivery model is especially valuable for complex commercial projects in the Detroit market where coordination and timing are critical.
Relationship to Commercial Construction Services
While design-build focuses on integrated delivery, Premier Construction also provides commercial construction services as a general contractor for projects where design is already established.
