Design/Build a Good Fit For The Corcoran Company
“It’s about building relationships of trust and confidence.”
The current trend of design/build projects has been a natural fit for The Corcoran Company. As a partner on many high profile design/build teams on Colorado’s Front Range, The Corcoran Company has thrived on the synergy of shared values and collaboration. While the concept and the terminology are relatively new, the general intent of design/build is not new to The Corcoran Company, which has always operated under the premise of mutual benefits.
“We’ve always held that the general contractors, architects and planners, and specialty contractors have a mutual interest in the outcome of every job,” says Kevin Corcoran, The Corcoran Company President.
“A lot of times the architect draws up the details without knowing if it is the best way to build them.”

From The Corcoran Company’s perspective, the design/build approach requires a deeper level of involvement in the design phases of a project. Specifically, when architects and planners are designing features that pose unique challenges for the actual construction.
“A lot of times the
architect draws up the
details without knowing if it is the best way to build them,” says Neenan Company Architect Randall Johnson. “With design/build we’re able to sit down with builders like The Corcoran Company to come up with solutions that keep the costs reasonable while achieving our goals.”
“The Corcoran Company people simplified things with their suggestions.”
