Design-build is the smart way to save you time and money through single-source responsibility and accelerated communication. It also allows an Owner to know the final budget before the start of the project based on the following concept:

Over ninety-five percent (95%) of the project's ultimate costs is influenced or controlled during the design phase, less then five percent (5%) during bidding trade packages and construction.

Who really controls the total project costs?
Primarily the Owner and Designers.

Who has the best knowledge of construction costs?
The Builder.

Total project costs are best controlled by continuous accurate estimates early in the design.

What's the best way to accomplish this?

Bringing the team together early and wholly

Neumann Brothers considers safety to be the number one priority on every job site. To emphasize this philosophy, Vice President & Officer of Safety, John Neumann, oversees the company’s proactive approach to safety. Before any work begins, each project is assigned an on-site safety officer and a customized site-specific safety manual is developed. The manual covers safety issues specific to the work to be performed, Neumann’s safety procedures and an Emergency Response Plan. All Neumann policies and procedures meet or exceed OSHA standards. The manual also contains forms for weekly safety inspections, weekly ‘Toolbox Talk’ sessions, and monthly supervisors’ safety meetings. Neumann prides itself in being a leader in the industry with our safety programs and record. We believe a safe site is a productive site. Safety not only protects those in, on and around the job, but also eliminates costly time delays and helps maintain a positive atmosphere for all involved.
