See the below timeline to visualize the order of events for the entire construction process. This will help you plan your meetings with us, the groundbreaking ceremony, and everything through the project’s completion. We created this visual aid to help outline the typical design/build process when working with FED.

You begin the search for a design/build company that you are comfortable working with based on the company’s experience, culture, and reputation.

STEP 2:
SHARING YOUR VISION

Meet with your selected company, FED, to share your vision and goals so the preliminary design process can begin.

STEP 4:
ESTABLISHING A BUDGET

Basic floor plans will be utilized to establish a project budget.

STEP 5:
THE PERFECT LOCATION

With basic floor plans and a budget established, you can now begin looking for a suitable property, if needed, and secure financing.

STEP 6:
WORKING DRAWINGS

FED would then have working drawings completed based on design and use knowledge from industry leaders that fit your project scope and budget.

STEP 7:
WHAT WILL THIS COST

Once property and financing has been secured, final pricing can be determined through FED's competitive bid process
