[   Design-Build Construction in Oregon   ]

An integrated approach to building—led by experience, clarity, and an in-house architect.

The Grant Company is a design-build contractor serving Oregon and the Willamette Valley, specializing in wineries, religious facilities, and complex commercial projects. By combining architecture and construction under one team, we help owners reduce risk, gain cost clarity earlier, and move from concept to completion with fewer surprises.

[   WHAT IS DESIGN-BUILD?   ]

A Simpler, More Coordinated Way to Build

Design-build is a project delivery method where design and construction are handled by a single, integrated team—rather than separate contracts for architect and contractor.

Instead of managing multiple parties, owners work with one point of responsibility from early planning through construction. Design decisions are informed by real-world construction input, and budgets are developed alongside the design—not after the fact.

For projects with complexity, long timelines, or tight budgets, design-build creates alignment early and helps avoid costly revisions later.

[   Why Design Build?   ]

Why Owners Choose
Design-Build

For wineries, religious buildings, and institutional projects, a high level of coordination is often essential—not optional.

Traditional project delivery often separates design from construction, which can lead to misalignment between vision, budget, and constructability. Design-build addresses those challenges by bringing all disciplines to the table from the start.

Owners benefit from:

• Earlier cost certainty
• Faster decision-making
• Fewer change orders
• Improved schedule control
• Clear accountability

Our Design-Build Workflow

[   Design-Build Process   ]

[   01   ]

Discovery & Feasibility

We begin by understanding your goals, site constraints, budget range, and long-term needs. Early feasibility studies and preliminary estimates help establish a realistic path forward.

[   02   ]

Integrated Design & Preconstruction

With architecture led by our in-house partner, Zane Johnson Architecture, design decisions stay grounded in constructability, cost, and schedule. We refine pricing, identify efficiencies, and align scope with priorities—before construction begins.

[   03   ]

Construction

Our field teams execute the work with disciplined project management, quality control, and clear communication.

[   04  ]

Completion & Support

We deliver thorough closeout documentation and remain available to support future needs.

Why Our Design-Build Approach Works

Architect-Led Coordination

Having an architect in-house allows design intent, budget, and construction realities to stay aligned from day one. Have your own Architect? Bring them along!

Reduced Risk

Single-team accountability minimizes gaps, conflicts, and costly rework.

Better Cost Control & Faster Timelines

Budgets evolve alongside design, allowing informed decisions early rather than reactive fixes later. Overlapping design and construction phases can reduce overall project duration.

Sector-Specific Expertise

Our design-build work is focused on sectors where complexity and long-term performance matter most.
