Why Manufacturing Leaders Choose Design-Build Construction
When precision, speed, and cost-efficiency matter most, manufacturers trust Design-Build.
At EXXCEL Project Management, we understand the unique demands of the manufacturing industry. That’s why we specialize in Design-Build construction, a method that delivers faster timelines, lower costs, and better project outcomes by uniting design and construction teams under one contract.
The Benefits of Design-Build for Manufacturing Facilities
Streamlined Process: One team, one contract, one goal. Design-Build simplifies communication, reduces conflicts, and increases accountability from start to finish.
Faster Project Completion: Projects are completed up to 33% faster than traditional delivery methods, getting your operations up and running with less downtime.
Cost Savings: Early collaboration allows for more accurate budgeting and fewer change orders, saving 10–18% in overall project costs.
Improved Quality Control: Continuous involvement from all parties results in higher standards, tighter quality assurance, and fewer reworks.
Risk Mitigation: With a single point of responsibility, owners reduce legal and logistical risks while staying ahead of supply chain disruptions and construction delays.
Increased Flexibility: Overlapping design and construction phases allow your project to move faster and adapt to changing needs, critical in fast-moving manufacturing environments.
Innovative Solutions: A collaborative approach fosters creative, cost-effective solutions that improve efficiency, layout, and operational flow.
Sustainable Outcomes: Integrated planning reduces material waste and supports greener construction practices.
Case Study: Global Link Distribution
Global Link Distribution, a key supplier for the RV and manufactured housing industries, was spread across multiple leased buildings, creating inefficiencies, employee fatigue, and excess wear on company vehicles.
EXXCEL’s Design-Build Solution: We consolidated operations into a custom-built facility in Elkhart, Indiana, designed to:
Improve inventory management
Boost employee productivity
Accommodate future growth
Streamline their supply chain
By using our Design-Build model, the project was delivered quickly, efficiently, and tailored to long-term operational success.
