Our expertise in renovation, restoration, and expansion allows us to tailor each project to the specific operational, regulatory, and aesthetic needs of your industry.
Our Design-Build Construction Process
Whether you need end-to-end support or a contractor for a specific phase, Metropolitan Build delivers.
Program Development
We begin by conducting an in-depth assessment of your vision, objectives, and available resources, while carefully considering budgetary constraints and specific benefits and challenges of the site. This analysis informs the development of a comprehensive program document, which serves as a guide for the project’s continued progress.
Preliminary Design, Budgeting, and Pre-Construction
We conduct feasibility studies, assist in pro forma development, identify specific supplemental funding sources, assemble a highly qualified team, and initiate preliminary design work. At every stage, we ensure that the project aligns with program requirements, functional objectives, design standards, and budgetary constraints.
Design Build Construction
Once construction is underway, we execute the pre-construction plan with precision, upholding the highest standards of care, quality, and craftsmanship. We oversee every facet of the renovation, ensuring seamless coordination among contractors and specialists.
Post-Construction and Project Support
Our post-construction services encompass warranty management that ensures long-term peace of mind regarding the health and performance of your building, as well as additional renovations or expansions.

With one team to quarterback every step of the process, you don’t have to worry about costly delays from cross-trade miscommunications, scheduling conflicts, or other common issues.
