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
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 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.

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 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).
