At the Office of Horace Trumbauer we embrace the design-build method of project delivery. By providing a single point of contact, design-build eliminates confusion and bottle necks associated with dealing with multiple contractors, and provides you with complete transparency when it comes to identifying costs.

Through the design-build concept, the Office of Horace Trumbauer is your single point of contact and relies on a single point of responsibility contract that is used to minimize risks for the project and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project. “Design Build with its single point responsibility carries the clearest contractual remedies for you because the office of Horace Trumbauer will be responsible for all of the work on the project, regardless of the nature”.

Fiscal Responsibility and Project Management

As a cost plus firm , the Office of Horace Trumbauer prides itself on complete cost transparency with you. All prices and costs are shared with you prior to work being done on any phase of the project. From a fiscal responsibility perspective, multiple bids for products and services will be obtained and shared with you before any final decisions are made. As always, the Horace Trumbauer staff will assist in providing expert guidance on the best options for the proposed project. We truly believe sharing all costs builds transparency and a clear understanding for a wonderful effort.

Keeping the lines of communication open and keeping you apprised of the schedule at all times is of paramount importance to the Office of Horace Trumbauer. To this end we employ sophisticated project management software that tracks every aspect of the project from its inception to its completion. Not only does this provide you with an additional layer of comfort, but it is also essential to ensure that when unexpected delays or problems arise, they are immediately identified, documented and addressed so that the project is brought back on schedule as quickly as possible. The end result is a sound design, a budget defined and a schedule streamlined so business goals are met.
