With licensed engineers and experienced 3-D modelers on staff, Hometown offers the ability to take your job from conception to completion.

Our extensive history of Design-Build projects and coordination experience is sure to be an asset on your next project.

The Design-Build approach utilizes one entity, one contract, and one unified workflow to guide projects from conception to completion.

Simply put, this paves the way for innovative solutions, leading to cost savings, streamlined schedules, and superior results.

Design-Build Benefits

  • Owner, design members, and construction team are encouraged to work together to solve issues, leading to time and cost savings
  • Owner burden and risk significantly reduced
  • Contractor-directed change orders minimized, if not completely removed
