Design-Build Services Fort Worth & DFW — Fast General Contracting LLC
A restaurant owner in Keller came to us after a frustrating experience with the traditional design-bid-build process. Her architect had designed a restaurant kitchen that her contractor said could not be built as drawn within her budget. Six months of design work, permit submissions, and contractor negotiations — and she was back at square one with a design that did not work and a budget she had already spent money from. We took over the project on a design-build basis. Nine months later, her restaurant opened on schedule.
Design-build is not a new concept — but it is one that Fast General Contracting has been executing successfully for commercial and residential clients throughout Fort Worth and DFW for over 25 years. One company. One contract. One point of accountability for design and construction from concept through completion. No gaps between what the designer designed and what the contractor can actually build within your budget.

Design-Build vs. Traditional Construction DFW
Understanding why design-build consistently outperforms the traditional design-bid-build process helps clients make better decisions about which delivery method is right for their project.
TRADITIONAL DESIGN-BID-BUILD:
– Separate architect and contractor contracts
– Design completed before cost is known
– Frequent design-budget misalignment
– Contractor not involved during design
– Owner manages coordination between parties
– Budget surprises after design is complete
– Disputes between designer and builder
FAST GENERAL CONTRACTING DESIGN-BUILD:
– Single contract, single point of accountability
– Cost known and controlled throughout design
– Budget and design developed simultaneously
– Construction expertise integrated from day one
– Owner deals with one company
– Value engineering built into design process
– No designer-contractor disputes

Residential design-build is particularly valuable for custom home clients who want a single company managing both the design and construction of their $1M–$3M home — eliminating the coordination complexity and budget disconnects that result from using separate architects and builders.
Fast General Contracting’s residential design-build process begins with collaborative design development — working closely with you and our architectural partners to translate your vision into construction-ready plans that are both architecturally compelling and fully achievable within your budget. Value engineering is integrated into the design process from day one — ensuring that your home is designed to be built, not redesigned after the fact when construction costs exceed design assumptions.
