Design/Build
As a Design Builder, Centerpoint assumes the design, budget, and construction responsibility for the owner. A Design Builder contracts directly with the architect to develop drawings and then builds the project for a guaranteed maximum price. This method prevents finger-pointing between architect and contractor as the client has a single point of responsibility in the Design Builder. Centerpoint is unique as an architect-led Design Builder, placing heavy emphasis on the critical design phase, which ensures the proper function and aesthetics while meeting the budget.

Construction Management
A Construction Manager oversees the many phases of the construction project for the owner. Duties include oversight of conceptual planning, budget pricing, design, and construction phases. Centerpoint, as Construction Manager, manages the construction project and advises throughout the construction process. The distinction of the Construction Management method is that the Owner holds the contracts directly with each of the consultants, vendors and subcontractors. This is a preferred method for Owner's desiring complete transparency and control of the process.

General Contractor
When Centerpoint acts as General Contractor, it takes responsibility for all of the construction trades in a single contract with the Owner. Centerpoint will rely on the Owner and its consultants to direct the design process, but offers cost- and time-saving suggestions throughout the process. The General Contractor oversees all work and is responsible for procuring payment from the owner and for paying subcontractors.
