At Jewett Construction, we specialize in crafting construction solutions tailored to the unique demands of the food and beverage industry. Whether it’s a new build, an expansion, or a renovation, achieving success in a manufacturing or processing facility requires meticulous planning and expert execution. Here are the five key factors we emphasize to ensure our clients’ facilities are not only operationally efficient but also fully compliant with industry standards.

When embarking on a construction project, selecting the right construction partner is one of the most crucial decisions you'll make. While aesthetics, functionality, and budget are all significant considerations, there's another aspect that is equally vital: compliance and operational continuity. Construction projects are governed by a myriad of regulations and standards, from local building codes to federal safety guidelines. A competent construction partner understands these regulations inside and out, ensuring your project adheres to all necessary laws. Non-compliance can result in fines, delays, and even legal action, which can derail your project and increase costs significantly.

In the conventional project delivery model, the blame game often takes center stage when mistakes or challenges arise, presenting a frustrating reality for stakeholders.  From contractors disputing budget overruns to designers justifying deviations from owner expectations, navigating traditional project delivery can be daunting.

Fortunately, there's a better alternative: design-build delivery.  This innovative approach offers a unified and comprehensive strategy under one accountable entity.

But what advantages does design-build offer? Can this widely adopted methodology minimize the Owner’s risk and efficiently produce a project that meets the Owner’s objectives, budget, and schedule?
