One Team vs. The Contractor Shuffle
See exactly why Structural Solutions Group's single-source design-build approach eliminates the chaos, finger-pointing, and surprise costs of traditional construction.
Traditional Approach
Multiple contractors, multiple headaches
Architect/Designer
Engineer
Foundation Contractor
Steel Erector
Project Manager
The Reality:
- ✗ 5-7 different companies to coordinate
- ✗ No single point of accountability
- ✗ Change orders eat your budget
- ✗ Timeline slips blamed on "the other guy"
- ✗ Your project becomes their problem-child
SSG Single-Source Process
One team, one contract, done right
Design & Engineering
Our team designs AND engineers - no handoff, no miscommunication
Foundation
Same crew that designed it builds it - perfect coordination
Steel Erection
We ordered the steel, we pour the foundation, we erect the building
Completion
One team owns the outcome from first call to final key handoff
The Advantage:
- ✓ One contract, one firm bid, one team
- ✓ Single point of accountability
- ✓ No surprise costs or change orders
- ✓ Timeline you can count on
- ✓ Your project is OUR priority
The SSG 5-Phase Process
Every project moves through these five phases. The same team — and one project manager — owns each one.
Discovery & Design
We meet, walk the site or review plans, and translate your needs into a workable design. SSG handles design in-house — no architect-vs-builder handoff.
Engineering & Permitting
Stamped engineering drawings sized to your soil, wind zone, and building code. Permits filed by SSG with the right jurisdiction so the schedule stays on track.
Foundation
In-house concrete crew sets the slab to spec. The team that engineered the building is the team that pours the foundation — no coordination gap.
Steel Erection
Pre-engineered frame, panels, doors, and trim go up in the right sequence. Same project manager owns the build from contract through this phase.
Finishing & Handoff
Interior finishes, electrical, insulation, and the items in your scope. Final punch-list walkthrough, then warranty handoff with documentation.
Real frames coming up. Same team that designed the building, poured the slab, and is finishing the build.
Why Single-Source Matters for Your Budget
No Markup Stacking
Traditional projects have 3-4 layers of markup as each contractor adds their percentage. SSG's single-source approach eliminates redundant costs.
Fewer Change Orders
When the design team, engineering team, and construction team are actually the SAME team, miscommunication disappears. No costly mid-project "fixes."
Faster Completion
No waiting on subcontractor scheduling or coordination delays. We control the entire timeline, which means fewer carrying costs for your financing.
