From concept to completion, simplified

Building smarter with design-build-assist services from Westland Construction.

Design-build-assist is an alternative to general contracting in which Westland Construction coordinates the architectural and engineering phases as well as the construction of a project. This gives the client a single point of contact from start to finish, providing responsive service in an efficient and timely manner. Our qualified design-build-assist team works to tailor budgets to the client's building program. With fewer parties involved, the administrative burden is reduced, communication is improved, time is saved and financial savings can be realized.

The design/build process

How design-build-assist works.

At its core, our design-build-assist approach bridges the gap between design and construction. We come in during the early stages to work alongside the architect or design team, offering constructability insight, material recommendations, and cost analysis that help reduce risk and keep the project on track.

With Westland Construction sitting at the table, at the outset, we will help to shape and build smart, buildable solutions before the first shovel hits the ground. Once the design is finalized, we shift seamlessly into the construction phase, managing trades, schedules, budgets, and on-site execution.

It's a more collaborative, efficient way to build
and it leads to better results.

Last Planner® System

For more than a decade

Lean Construction.

Lean is treated as a mindset rather than a single process. It guides the way the team collaborates, makes decisions, and focuses on what brings the most value to clients. By emphasizing efficiency, clarity, and respect for people, Westland brings project partners together early to align goals, identify risks, and build a shared plan.

Lean construction and schedule management tools including pull planning, the Last Planner® System, and ongoing improvement reviews, help create steady workflow and dependable schedules. These practices encourage proactive problem solving and reduce the chance of delays or unnecessary work. Open communication and accountability are central to this approach, which strengthens relationships with owners, consultants, trades, and internal teams.

Continuously improving

The Westland Construction advantage

Choosing an integrated delivery method with Westland Construction offers benefits that go far beyond the physical structure.

We over deliver by fundamentally changing the project experience for the better. By unifying the design and construction phases, we deliver unparalleled speed to market, as we can often begin site preparation and procurement while final design details are being completed. This gets you operational faster.

Furthermore, we provide true budget certainty. Because cost analysis is part of the design process, we design to your budget, not just hope the design fits it later. Finally, this collaborative environment creates better outcomes, fostering innovation and higher-quality solutions that simply aren't possible when teams work in isolation.
