EdgeCorp Design Builders Ltd
EdgeCorp Design Builders Ltd. (EDB) is the division of EdgeCorp Group that integrates the design and construction functions under a single source of responsibility for each EdgeCorp Group Project.
EDB’s ability to provide cost-effective construction management and general contracting services for its projects is the core of EdgeCorp Group’s success.
EdgeCorp Design Builders Ltd follows a project delivery method that combines both the design and construction phases under a one entity. This approach contrasts with the traditional design-bid-build method, where design and construction services are contracted separately. The key advantages of this streamlined process are it combines the design and construction phases shortening the overall project timeline which allows for faster project delivery compared to the traditional method. This process further simplifies communication and accountability, reducing the risk of disputes between the designer and contractor.
EDB has deep relationships in the development, design and construction industries that allow them to assemble design/build teams to meet specific requirements of each project. Through these partnerships, EDB brings valuable constructability, budgeting, cost control and logistical expertise to the design/build process, and the construction know-how to turn a project vision into reality.
EDB ensures each phase of its projects have responsive leadership and consistency of management by working in partnership with architects, engineers and subcontractors. By staffing the project with their construction professionals during the planning and design phases, their team fully understands the project goals, technical details and key issues before construction begins. Once it is time to break ground, their team is on the move, executing the job in accordance with contract documents and building a successful project for all stakeholders.
EDB projects include comprehensive construction management services to ensure that the project meets all requirements and deadlines. Construction management tasks include planning, design and construction, integrated by a project team comprised of the owner, construction manager and the design consultants. The construction management team’s responsibility is to provide overall administration of the project from preconstruction to completion. Because the management team of EDB have decades of “real world” general contractor experience, they know what qualities are essential to good construction management.
During preconstruction, EDB plans the work to be implemented during construction. This includes value engineered recommendations on construction methods and materials, the preparation of detailed project budgets based on standard trade divisions, as well as preconstruction planning and site related investigations.
EDB follows a disciplined preconstruction process that includes:
Value Engineering Recommendations
Prequalifying Subcontractors
Conceptual and Detailed Cost Estimating
Project Scheduling
Constructability Review and Delivery Methods

EDB hires the subcontractors and suppliers who specialize in the various trades required for the job, such as plumbers, electricians, framers, carpenters, etc., coordinates all work, and is responsible for payment to the said subcontractors.
During the construction phase, EDB works closely with the Design Team to complete the project on time and within the budget. They achieve this by following through on the schedules and plans established during the preconstruction phase, management of project costs and coordination of subcontractor activities during the project and by constantly evaluating our approaches and looking for the best solutions.
