In construction today, the previous standard Design-Bid-Build approach is rarely followed. The current focus is to deliver overall best value to the owner and to make the construction process less adversarial.

As the State Bank began the process of planning the construction of their new facility, they investigated many of the available construction options and picked their own hybrid. They determined that selecting the Architect allowed them to develop the functionality and appearance of the facility that best met their needs. Once the design was principally complete, the General Contractor was selected based on quality and capabilities with a guaranteed maximum price. All major subs were selected for their quality and design build capabilities, and with firm pricing.

This process allowed State Bank to design the facility that best met their needs, with the appearance and quality they desired. It also gave them the ability to make modifications to their facility during construction, and to participate in value-engineering to stay within budget.

To manage this complicated process and provide design review, Industrial Solutions was chosen to be the Bank's representative on the overall project. According to State Bank President Doug Cross, "We are experts at banking, not construction. Having an independent construction manager allowed us to confirm we were getting accurate costs and high quality during our project, and most importantly, we were in our new facility on time and within our budget."
