What is Design-Build Construction?

Design-build construction is a streamlined project delivery method where a single entity manages the entire construction process—from initial design to final construction. Unlike the traditional design-bid-build approach, which requires separate contracts for architects, engineers, and contractors, design-build ensures a cohesive workflow under one contract. This integrated method results in faster project completion, cost savings, and improved communication throughout the process.

A Turnkey Service for Rebuilding After the Palisades Fire

For homeowners impacted by the Palisades Fire, Ingram Construction offers a turnkey design-build service to simplify and expedite the rebuilding process. Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Insurance Consultation – Assisting homeowners in understanding their coverage and maximizing their insurance claims.
• Debris Removal – Consulting on whether to opt in to federal debris removal or private site clearing and hazardous material disposal to prepare for reconstruction.  We work with a network of certified subcontractors that can complete this critical process should costs come down from initial estimates or speed is your paramount concern. 
• Design & Engineering – Working with architects and engineers to create custom plans that align with safety codes and homeowner preferences.
• Permitting – Handling all city and county approvals to ensure compliance with local regulations, once such regulations are published.  
• Construction – Executing the rebuild with precision, efficiency, and high-quality craftsmanship.

By managing the entire project under a single contract, Ingram Construction ensures a seamless, efficient, and stress-free rebuilding process.
