A real distinguishing factor of CDE from other design firms is the ability to self-design and self-perform construction for any project.  In reality, the design/build approach is quite simple:  CDE designs it and then builds it for the client.  The real draw to the design/build approach is the degree of collaboration that takes place between the stakeholder, the design team, and the actual construction team.  This level of collaboration allows a project to be designed and built with as little hiccups as possible thereby reducing possible unknown construction issues, costly construction change orders, and typically reducing the overall length of the project timeline.  CDE takes full ownership of the a design project - once we are commissioned we become your one centralized point of contact for everything regarding your project and the single responsible party for everything related to the project.  

We have many successful years of experience in the design/build arena and with a wide array of projects types - from gymnasiums and sports fields to airfields to high-tech laboratories.  The projects on the right is a limited view of just some of CDE's most recent design/build projects.  Feel free to take a look at these projects as we believe they demonstrate the true power of the design/build approach as well as CDE's capabilities to help you take your next project from concept to completion.
