Industry Partners For over 45 years, Bernards as built a reputation as a premier builder by cultivating and maintaining collaborative relationships with architects, subcontractors, vendors and consultants. Design-Build By partnering with a selectively chosen architecture firm to create a design-build team, we’re able to quickly understand our clients’ project objectives and translate them into facilities that exemplify high quality, functionality and strong aesthetics. With early involvement of design-build or design-assist trade contractors, our design-build delivery method allows for early pricing information and constructability reviews that provide a comprehensive understanding of project details while assuring budget adherence. The documents listed below are the Subsequent Agreements our Industry Partners would utilize upon an award of a Design-Build project.
