Design Build Construction

Accessibility cannot be impacted in the name of flooding, but those two things are often at odds in the commercial build process. It may not look like most buildings in Summerville and North Charleston are above-grade, but that just means it's a great design!

At Design Build Construction, we're not just a few transplants looking to work in the booming city of Charleston. We have lived and worked here for generations, understanding the unique qualities that make the Lowcountry the best place to do business.

If you have questions, we're ready to answer. Give us a shout: www.designbuild-construction.com

We often get asked, "At what phase should I find a commercial construction company?" and the answer is: "The sooner the better!"

Our team of Lowcountry experts can help you with virtually everything from beginning to end within the commercial construction process. Knowing how to build it is only a portion of the work. Strategic planning goes into every phase of a successful build.

Yes, we have a bit of traffic congestion here in Charleston. It can actually influence more than you think when it comes to a new commercial construction build. Here are two things to consider when choosing a spot for your new business.

As a commercial construction company in the booming area of Charleston, SC, you might imagine that volume is the name of the game. But at the heart of our business is our client partners who rely on us to get the job done right, and that requires an unmatched attention to detail.

Site feasibility is a consequential step before you buy a piece of land for a commercial build. If you're new to the Lowcountry, you may not know that we have a lot of unique factors that make building difficult. We have seismic activity, hurricanes, and flooding, which all require their own set of standards. And that's before you consider a building with any historical significance!

Our projects include fire stations, schools, churches, and virtually every kind of business you can imagine in the greater Charleston area. No detail goes missed. When it has to work, this community relies Design Build Construction to get it done.

In case you missed it, the new Seamus' Irish Pub is officially open in Downtown Summerville. We were fortunate to get an invite to the soft opening party and it did not disappoint. It was a privilege for our team to breathe new life into this beloved building in an awesome location.
