DESIGN-BUILD
One Team. One Plan. One Clear Path.
Simplify the process, accelerate the timeline, and build with confidence.
Traditional design-bid-build can sometimes feel like navigating a maze—longer timelines, bigger teams, and potential cost impacts. AJAX takes a direct, coordinated path from concept to completion, streamlining every step to save you time, control costs, and ensure your vision is built exactly as planned.
NO BARRIERS. NO LIMITS. JUST RESULTS.

THE AJAX WAY
Building a new facility doesn't have to be complicated. AJAX has simplified the process to save you time, stress, and costly surprises. Here’s how our design-build approach adds value each step of the way.
PROJECT INITIATION
You decide to build a new facility and need to hire the right professionals.
With Traditional Delivery
You hire and manage an architect, civil engineer, MEP engineers, and other consultants separately. Juggling communication and contracts falls on you.
With Design-Build
AJAX is your one-stop shop. We manage the full team, from concept to completion. You get a dedicated point of contact who oversees the whole process. Easy communication. Total accountability.
With Traditional Delivery
You tour properties and rely on your own research. You may overlook hidden costs tied to site grading, access, or building efficiency.
With Design-Build
AJAX helps you evaluate each site for cost-efficiency and buildability. We’ll break down site prep, building layout options, and long-term profitability so you can make a confident decision.
SITE SELECTION
Choosing the right site can make or break your investment.
PROFORMA ANALYSIS
Determining financial viability before you commit.
With Traditional Delivery
You patch together numbers from multiple vendors—site cost, permits, taxes, construction—without a unified perspective. Risk of costly miscalculations is high.
With Design-Build
AJAX helps you build a reliable proforma with real-world construction and development costs. If the numbers don’t make sense, we pivot early. If they do, we go full speed ahead.
With Traditional Delivery
You’re responsible for hiring someone to prepare zoning submittals. Timelines vary, and delays are common.
With Design-Build
AJAX handles all zoning drawings and submissions. Our deep experience with self-storage makes approvals smoother and faster.
ZONING APPROVALS
Gaining approval from the city or local jurisdiction.
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
Translating ideas into detailed, buildable plans.
With Traditional Delivery
You coordinate between separate design consultants, who may not be aligned. Design often exceeds budget. You’re left managing revisions, value engineering, and delays.
With Design-Build
AJAX leads the design team, keeping plans aligned with budget and project goals. We prevent overdesign, catch conflicts early, and save you time, money, and stress.
With Traditional Delivery
You’re on the hook to manage and submit multiple permit packages. Each zoning department might have different requirements.
With Design-Build
AJAX prepares and submits all permits on your behalf—no paperwork headaches for you. We track timelines and push things forward.
SITE & BUILDING PERMITTING
Submitting to get the green light to build.
CONSTRUCTION
Bringing your facility to life.
With Traditional Delivery
You deal with scheduling hiccups, change orders, and coordinating between contractors. Expect surprises and delays.
With Design-Build
AJAX brings the vision to life with full accountability. Weekly updates, photo reports, and optional virtual or in-person meetings keep you informed, not overwhelmed. No change orders unless you request changes. We anticipate roadblocks before they arise. You stay hands-off while we stay on top of it all.
