Menard

Federal Buildings

Federal Building construction is administered under various agencies and budgets, often as design-bid-build and with increasing frequency and results using the design-build process. When ground improvement solutions are incorporated into design-bid-build plans, recognition of the inherent benefits is manifested. In the case of design-build, the optional foundation is able to be deferred when the design builder engineers or foundation specialty contractor come early to the table, so that design benefits and costs are fully vetted. Menard is highly comfortable in the design-build environment and brings high value to its clients.
