Design – Bid
The Design-Bid method is the most widely used project delivery approach in the industry. At Structural Systems Inc., we have a wealth of experience with design-bid projects, allowing us to streamline the bidding process and ensure that all aspects of the project are clearly defined. Over our 70+ years in the business, we have cultivated strong relationships with a diverse network of suppliers, erectors, and detailers. This extensive network enables us to assemble highly qualified project teams at competitive prices, ensuring that our clients receive the best value without compromising quality. Our commitment to excellence in this method helps us deliver projects on time and within budget.

Design – Assist
The Design-Assist method is becoming increasingly popular, particularly for projects that involve complex designs or require aggressive timelines. This collaborative approach allows Structural Systems Inc. to work closely with the design team from the project's inception to its completion. By actively engaging with architects and engineers, we provide valuable insights, trade expertise, and innovative value engineering ideas that enhance the overall design. Our extensive experience and established relationships within the industry empower us to connect with a wide array of detailers, project managers, erectors, and in-house engineers, ensuring that every aspect of the project is executed with precision and efficiency.

Design – Build
The Design-Build method has gained traction as owners, developers, and construction managers recognize the advantages of close collaboration between all parties involved. In this approach, Structural Systems Inc. takes on a dual role, acting both as the designer and the builder. Our team works hand-in-hand with structural engineers to guide the design process, focusing on creating a steel frame that is both structurally sound and cost-effective. This collaborative input not only enhances the quality of the final product but also significantly reduces the timeline and overall project costs. By fostering open communication and a shared vision, we ensure that the project meets our clients' expectations while delivering exceptional results.

Integrated Project Delivery
Structural Systems Inc. has successfully employed the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) method, which emphasizes the importance of strong collaboration and teamwork among all project stakeholders. This approach involves shared risks and rewards, encouraging everyone to work together towards a common goal. Our experience with IPD has equipped us with a deep understanding of the communication and partnership dynamics required for success. By fostering a culture of collaboration and transparency, we enhance project efficiency and effectiveness, leading to higher quality outcomes and increased client satisfaction. This method allows us to be proactive in addressing challenges and adapting to changes, ensuring a smoother project execution.
