Associated Builders utilizes the design/build method of construction, a single-source project delivery method that streamlines a project's management and optimizes project control. The designer/builder provides the design and contracting services with its own employees. The client deals with one company, eliminating the delays and lapses of communication inherent in using separate design and contracting services.

Associated Builders' design/build process is based on a strong team approach that is used to meet the business needs of the client. The work begins with client meetings to determine the general concept and feasibility of a project. Designs are refined, and then plans are engineered, drawn, and approved. The building construction phase begins after all necessary permits are obtained.
