Building Corporation has been a leader in
the design build construction field by of-
fering in-house architectural and complete
project management services customized to
effectively address needs in new construction
as well as remodeling of an existing facility.

in a manner that not only spares it customers
from the burdens of unexpected costs, but
also unwanted delays in time.

by those who undergo the rigorous training,
the fact remains that some firms were suc-
cessfully deploying design/build strategy
long before it emerged as a visible trend or
desired-solution in project delivery models.
Hancock explains that back in the 1970s,
when he honed his skills working for the con-
struction dynamo known as Brown & Root,
he often saw first-hand what can result from
