How to Master Design Build as a General Contractor

Design build is the most profitable delivery model in construction, and the most dangerous if you run it wrong. Scope creep, uncontrolled design decisions, and one lump sum contract signed before the drawings even exist can devour every dollar of profit you thought you had. 🔥 Get Started with Structur for Free: https://structur.com/ In this video, Jesse Lane breaks down the complete framework for running design build projects the way elite contractors run them. He walks through the four phases of architectural design every GC must understand, why separating pre-construction from construction protects your margin, and how to manage your architect the way you’d manage someone spending your money on your behalf. Jesse also covers the scope control system that prevents clients from getting changes for free, the communication cadence that builds deep client trust, and the identity shift from builder to trusted advisor that unlocks premium margins in the design build space. If you’re ready to stop guessing at construction costs before the design exists and start running design build like a machine, this is the video that shows you exactly how.
