Spees Design Build is a trusted design and construction services resource for multiple VA hospitals and public agencies across the nation.
We are a CVE-Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) with offices in the Pacific Northwest and the Southeast to serve clients from coast to coast. We incorporate a cost-effective and improved design/build business model that provides our clients with the highest quality service at a lower price.
As one of the few veteran-owned design firms with general contracting and construction management experience, we pay considerably more attention to the constructability of our design, which minimizes changes, reduces cost, and accelerates the construction timeline.
We also specialize in providing project and engineering management consulting services. Our focus is to contract directly with the owner as the prime member of a design-build team while subcontracting the construction portion to a general contractor. The benefits can be seen by the architects and contractors, in addition to the owner.
