One team, one timeline
Design and construction are managed together for faster approvals, fewer delays, and tighter coordination.
Service 02
Design-Build Delivery
Design-build is a single-contract delivery method where one team is responsible for both design and construction. E-CON Group runs design-build projects with one point of contact and full accountability from kickoff to closeout, which shortens schedules and removes the coordination gaps between architect and builder.
Why E-CON

Centralized accountability
With one contract, E-CON is accountable for the whole process, from design through construction.
Fast-tracked results, no shortcuts
We speed up delivery without cutting corners, protecting your timeline and the experience for the building's users.
Questions owners ask
Design-Build, explained.
How is design-build different from CMAR?
In design-build the owner holds one contract with a single entity responsible for both design and construction. In CMAR the owner holds separate contracts with the architect and the construction manager, who collaborate during preconstruction.
What kinds of projects fit design-build?
Interior finish-outs, renovations, and facilities with a clear program and a tight schedule. E-CON delivered the TTBH Tropical Plaza behavioral health finish-out in Edinburg as design-build.
Who does the design on an E-CON design-build project?
E-CON teams with a licensed Texas architect and engineers under our contract, so the owner still gets a full professional design team with one accountable party.
