Stone Company offers clients a single point of contact for total project accountability.  The Design/Build project execution system is used to minimize the project risk for an owner and to reduce the delivery schedule, which is achieved by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.  The benefits of this contracting arrangement are schedule compression, enhanced communication, increased accountability, and a single source project delivery model.  The design/build project delivery model is best suited for complex projects where team rapport and trust is leveraged to the benefit of the client and project.
