Our Proven Design-Build Process

A guided, transparent approach that transforms your vision into reality.

Clarity from Day One

Every successful project begins with a clear, well-defined process. At Adkins Building & Construction, our design-build approach brings every element—design, engineering, and construction—under one trusted team. This integrated model ensures that every detail aligns with your vision, budget, and timeline. Whether you’re building a custom home on the coast or transforming a commercial space in Bradenton or Sarasota, our process provides structure, communication, and peace of mind from start to finish.

Our Design-Build Process

01

Discovery & Consultation

Our partnership begins with a personal consultation to understand your goals, budget, and timeline. This is where we listen—learning about your property, priorities, and the vision that drives your project. We’ll discuss the design-build process, outline next steps, and help you determine the best path forward with clarity and confidence.
02

Design & Planning

During this stage, we collaborate with our network of architectural designers and engineers to develop your project concept. From architectural design and material selections to structural and civil planning, every element is coordinated through our team. You’ll review drawings, design ideas, and investment ranges to ensure alignment before moving forward.
03

Pre-Construction Coordination

Once the design is approved, our team handles permitting, scheduling, and vendor coordination. We verify that all engineering details, specifications, and selections are complete, setting the stage for a seamless construction experience. This phase eliminates uncertainty and prepares every aspect of your build for efficient execution.
04

Construction

With everything in place, your vision begins to take shape. Our experienced project managers oversee every phase of construction, maintaining open communication and strict attention to detail. You’ll have access to progress updates and milestone walkthroughs as your home or commercial space comes to life—crafted to the highest standards of quality.
05

Completion & Beyond

As the project nears completion, we conduct a detailed walkthrough to ensure every aspect meets our exacting standards—and yours. You’ll receive all documentation, warranty details, and final project deliverables. Our commitment continues long after the final day on site, standing behind every build with integrity and care.

What Our Clients Say

Design/build benefits multiplied when modifications needed during construction with integrated teams making adjustments quickly rather than bureaucratic approval chains unfortunately.
