One team, one contract, one accountable partner from concept to completion. Our design-build approach unites architects, engineers, and builders under a single roof; delivering commercial projects across Florida faster, with fewer change orders and no finger-pointing.

Design-build is a project delivery method where one company holds a single contract for both the design and the construction of your building. It's just one contract, one budget, one point of accountability.
The difference shows up in the numbers. Industry research from the Construction Industry Institute and Penn State found that design-build projects average roughly 6% cost savings compared to traditional delivery, with measurably less cost growth along the way. Design-build now accounts for over 40% of all commercial construction in the U.S.
The reason is structural: when the builder is at the table while the design develops, cost feedback happens in real time. The design never outruns the budget, because the people pricing the work and the people drawing it are the same team.
Under design-build, there's no one to point at. The responsibility for the drawings and the construction sits with us.
For commercial projects in Florida; where wind requirements, flood elevations, and jurisdiction-specific permitting shape both design and cost from day one .
Design-build means we're responsible for your project from the first concept sketch to the certificate of occupancy. Here's what that single contract actually includes:
Architectural Design & Engineering
Working with our licensed design partners, we develop your concept into complete construction documents; architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Because our builders are pricing the drawings as they develop, the design that reaches permitting is one that's already been confirmed buildable within your budget.
Preconstruction & Budget Development
Every design-build project runs through our full pre-construction process: feasibility review, conceptual estimating, value engineering, and constructability analysis. Costs are reconciled at each design milestone, so your budget tightens as the drawings advance so it never surprises you at the end.
Permitting & Approvals
We manage the entire approval path including building permits, site plan review, utility coordination, and jurisdiction-specific requirements across Florida municipalities. Because design and permitting run in parallel under one roof, submittals are sequenced to keep approvals off your critical path.
Site Development & Ground-Up Construction
From clearing and earthwork through vertical construction, our field team executes the same drawings our design team produced. No interpretation gaps, no "that's not what the architect meant" the people who planned the building are the people building it.
Commercial Renovations & Additions
Design-build isn't only for new construction. For renovations, expansions, and adaptive reuse, having design and construction integrated is even more valuable. Existing conditions always hold surprises, and one team can redesign around them in days instead of weeks of back-and-forth between separate firms.
Project closeout
We finish the way we start: accountable. Commissioning, punch list, as-built documents, owner training, and warranty service all come from the same team that designed and built your facility. So there's never a question about who to call.

We start by understanding your project, your budget, and your timeline and telling you honestly what's achievable.

Detailed estimating, value engineering, and a construction plan you can take to your lender or board with confidence.

Daily site supervision, weekly owner updates, disciplined schedule and budget management. You'll always know where your project stands.

Final inspections, punch list, CO, and complete turnover documentation. We're not done until you're open.

A commercial general contractor manages your entire construction project from preconstruction through final inspection. That includes budgeting and value engineering, pulling permits, hiring and supervising licensed subcontractors, scheduling, quality control, and keeping the project compliant with local building codes and ADA requirements. Instead of coordinating a dozen trades yourself, you have a single point of accountability responsible for delivering the project on time and on budget. We handle ground-up construction, tenant improvements, remodels, and design-build projects for offices, retail, medical, industrial, government, and restaurant spaces.
Commercial construction costs typically range from $150 to $400+ per square foot depending on the project type, finishes, and site conditions. A basic warehouse or shell building falls on the lower end, while medical offices, restaurants, and retail build-outs with specialized mechanical, electrical, and plumbing requirements land higher. Factors like site work, permitting, and current material pricing also affect your final budget. The most accurate way to price your project is a detailed estimate. P.A.V.C.O. Contracting Group provides free preliminary budgets for commercial projects so you can plan with real numbers before committing to design.
Timelines vary by scope: a tenant improvement or office build-out typically takes 2–4 months, while ground-up commercial construction runs 8–18 months including permitting. The biggest schedule variables are permit approval times with the local building department, long-lead materials like HVAC equipment and switchgear, and how early a contractor is brought into the design process. Engaging your general contractor during preconstruction is the single best way to compress your schedule, because it allows permitting, procurement, and design to run in parallel.
