Baron Properties
RADIX developed conceptual pricing and a GMP strategy early enough for the owner to support a tenant lease decision, then managed the design around the agreed budget and delivered on time and under budget.
One aligned team. One clear path from concept to construction.
Design-build brings design and construction together under an integrated delivery process. RADIX leads the team around the client's goals, connecting scope, budget, schedule, constructability, and execution while decisions are still being made.
Design and construction should solve the same problem at the same time.
In a traditional linear process, design advances first and construction pricing arrives later. If the drawings, budget, and execution strategy do not align, the client may pay for redesign, lose time, or accept compromises after major decisions have already been made.
Design-build changes the sequence. The builder participates early. Design decisions receive real cost and constructability feedback. The team can evaluate options together instead of passing problems downstream.
What the client gains.
- A single point of responsibility for coordinating design and construction
- Earlier and more reliable cost feedback
- Design decisions tested against budget and constructability
- Faster problem-solving and fewer handoff gaps
- Better alignment between the client, architect, consultants, builder, and key trades
- A clearer procurement, permitting, and construction strategy
- Less owner burden mediating between separate teams
How RADIX leads the process.
- Understand the client's business goal, program, budget, timing, and decision criteria.
- Assemble and align the design and construction team around one project definition.
- Develop conceptual pricing before design commitments outrun the budget.
- Test systems, materials, scope, and constructability as the drawings advance.
- Engage key trade partners where their input can materially improve cost or execution.
- Build the schedule, procurement plan, and field strategy alongside the design.
- Carry the knowledge created in pre-construction directly into construction.
Proof in practice.
Elevate Academy
When the first concept exceeded the available budget, RADIX helped the team redesign the building strategy around the school's essential program and affordable building systems. The result preserved the mission while protecting cost and schedule.

Burnt River Dispensary
RADIX and the design team overlapped programming, design, pricing, phased permitting, and construction to deliver a specialized, fast-track project in approximately four and a half months.
