Shimizu’s design-build services offer clients many advantages. Our tightly integrated team of licensed architects, engineers and construction professionals provides an efficient, cost-effective and lower-risk way to deliver complex projects while giving owners input into key aspects of the process.

Building with Expertise. Knowing What Works.

We are uniquely positioned to overcome any project challenge. With offices in 18 countries and a global workforce of over 19,000 professionals, we can tap any one of our specialized experts when needed to troubleshoot a problem or integrate a specific technology, process or system. We are also one of the only design-build firms with its own global R&D center, where we develop new ways and technologies to deliver projects with greater efficiency, safety and sophistication.

For clients concerned about sustainability, Shimizu North America has extensive experience delivering advanced carbon-neutral and zero-emissions facilities. We can address a project’s carbon footprint in a variety of ways—from facility design to energy supply.

Fewer Change Orders

Selecting a design-build services partner is not easy. Owners not only want a firm that will deliver a high-quality product on schedule, they need the confidence that costs will not exceed expectations. At Shimizu, we dislike surprises and change orders as much as you do. That’s why we take a scientific approach to pricing and risk management: We pay meticulous attention to the details and available options at every stage, so our estimates are accurate. We also see our role as the owner’s advocate, so we believe in doing what’s right rather than maximizing our margins. The result is fewer change orders and more successful outcomes.
