D Fickler’s Design Build Process

Our proven approach is designed for transparency and success, following a comprehensive process from initial consultation to Project Close Out.

1. Pre-Construction Consultation and Goal Setting

The journey begins by understanding your project’s goals, budget, and functional needs. We work closely with you to answer critical questions: What is the project’s scope? What municipal constraints exist? This phase, a core part of our Pre-Construction Services, sets realistic goals and establishes a detailed roadmap for all phases to follow.

2. Integrated Design and Proposal Development

We partner with trusted architects and engineers to develop detailed plans. This collaboration is key to Design-Build: the team constantly evaluates design choices against real-world costs and construction feasibility.

• Formal Proposal: The owner receives a formal proposal outlining the finalized scope of work and associated costs early on.

• Design Finalization: Once the scope and budget are finalized, the final design plans are completed for necessary approvals.

3. Permitting and Local Approvals

Navigating local requirements is a critical strength of working with a regional expert. For projects in the Chester Springs area (often part of Upper Uwchlan Township), obtaining the necessary Building and Zoning Permits is integrated seamlessly into our schedule. Our local knowledge helps us proactively manage the documentation and approval process with the township, ensuring we avoid unnecessary delays before breaking ground.

4. Construction Services & Project Management

With plans complete and approvals in hand, our team transitions to the build phase. As Construction Managers, we oversee all trades, safety protocols, and quality standards.

• Technology & Communication: We utilize advanced project management software (like Procore) to keep the entire team—including you—engaged, informed, and up-to-date on progress and scheduling.

• Quality & Safety: Daily management focuses on anticipating problems and offering swift solutions, ensuring the construction meets the client’s expectations and all necessary safety codes.

5. Project Close Out and Warranty

The project is not complete until every detail is finalized. We ensure a strong finish by:

• Obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.).

• Issuing all warranties from D Fickler and our subcontractors.

• Providing a comprehensive Close Out Manual to the facility management team, detailing how the building’s systems work.
