Design to Build Construction Made Easy
Fears Construction featuring B Design is your trusted Shorewood design-build firm, specializing in design-to-build construction. Design to build is a unique service that combines the design and construction phases of a project into one cohesive process. This ensures that the final product exceeds your expectations and eliminates delays and communication problems.
What is design-to-build and why is it important?
As mentioned above, what makes this process different is the integration of both the designer (Blair Kramer) and builder (Tim Fears) to work together through the entire process. When design and construction are separate entities, it can cause delays and communication problems. With Fears Construction and B Design working together, these breaks in communication are eliminated and our partnership makes it work more seamlessly. Our shared passion for exceptional results – both beautiful and functional – drives us to create creatively designed spaces built with quality craftsmanship. We find that this cohesive effort from start to finish exceeds expectations and brings our clients the most optimal results. You can learn more about our process on our process page.

Fears Construction CEOtraditional Build versus design-to-build
When it comes to design build construction projects in Shorewood or anywhere in the US, there are two main approaches: the traditional bid-build method and the innovative design-to-build process. At Fears Construction featuring B Design, we believe that the design to build approach is the way of the future. Rather than separate entities working independently, our seamless collaboration ensures that your vision is brought to life efficiently and effectively. By eliminating confusion and allowing for real-time adjustments, we are able to provide our clients with a finished product that exceeds expectations. Let us show you the power of design to build in transforming your space.
The infographics below give you a visual of how each method works, from start to finish. As you can see with a traditional design bid build the designer and builder work independently at each phase while in a design-to-build process both design and builder work cohesively throughout the entire process looping in the business owner when needed. These graphs are based on an illustration we found on Wikipedia.
