Credentials

For the last 20 years, virtually all of English's private-sector building work has employed the design-build approach.

Along the way, English has completed several milestone projects, including:

Fork Union military Academy

Fork Union Military Academy

English prepared a design for a new science building, established a maximum project price, and agreed to credit any savings to the owner. English then completed work on schedule and credited the owner with a savings of 4 percent of the contract amount.

 

 

I-85 Rest Stop  

I-85 State Rest Stop

English coordinated the design and construction of this 17,500 sq.-ft. facility. The job was completed in one year with no change orders, no increased costs, and no time-extensions. This was VDOT’s first design-build project, and English was soon awarded the second.

 

 

Bridge  

Bridges (Route 418 & S-316, S.C.)

English built two concrete bridges simultaneously, finishing in less than a year. The initial estimate for both bridges (SCDOT’s first design-build work) was just over $3 million; the actual price at completion was $2,935,000 … the $200,000 in savings was shared equally with SCDOT.

 

 

I-895  

I-895 and Route 288

I-895: Cost:$324 million; $27M provided by state, $297M by private bond investors, to be repaid by toll revenues.

Route 288: Contract price for 17-mile length, plus 20-year pavement warranty: $236 million ($47 million less than VDOT projections).
