When speed is critical, Black & Veatch serves as your single point of contact from planning, construction, and operations (covering the full infrastructure lifecycle) for new design-build facilities or renovations to existing systems. Our solutions include stakeholder engagement, site preparation, engineering, construction management and administration, commissioning, and operational support.
Services
As an integrated design-builder, Black & Veatch offers developers minimized risk, more flexibility, and better communication by serving as your single point of accountability from project conception to completion. This collaborative method also speeds up the development process, as both design and construction can happen concurrently.
Rather than navigating relationships and agreements with dozens (if not hundreds) of contractors, developers benefit from having a single trusted partner to manage all construction operations across their numerous sites. Black & Veatch simultaneously delivers entire project portfolios to save our clients time, money and headaches in ways that wouldn’t be possible if managed individually.
Black & Veatch’s preconstruction services ensure your requirements are communicated to all stakeholders from project launch to align expectations and mitigate risk. Our approach protects your project from cost overruns, scope creep, and schedule issues..
