Rivet NorthCommercial design-build Plan a project
Construction disciplines coordinating material and structural decisions over project drawings

How we build

Control the work
before it controls the schedule.

Cost, access, procurement, and field sequence are tested while the project can still move.

Follow the delivery sequence

Eight connected decisions

One project rhythm.

The work does not reset at each handoff. Every phase produces the information, access, and commitment the next field decision requires.

Project team defining constraints over a site plan at an undeveloped commercial property

Project brief

Operational needs, decision structure, critical dates, site constraints, and the real definition of ready.

Aligned project criteria
Preconstruction team testing drawings, material options, and a massing model in a site office

Preconstruction

Cost, logistics, risk, constructability, and schedule tested in parallel with the developing design.

Priced and sequenced options
Field team verifying coordinated building services beneath a commercial steel structure

Coordination

Structure, envelope, systems, procurement, and temporary works resolved around field sequence.

Buildable coordinated work
Construction team confirming sequenced structural steel delivery in a commercial laydown yard

Buyout

Scopes aligned, long-lead items released, and trade commitments mapped to the working schedule.

Committed scopes and releases
Commercial site mobilization with survey control, secure access, temporary services, and a field office

Site start

Access, controls, temporary services, survey, protection, and early works established cleanly.

Controlled working site
Field crew reviewing a short-interval plan during structural steel erection

Field execution

Short-interval planning keeps procurement, crews, inspections, and downstream work connected.

Reliable daily production
Commissioning specialists testing installed systems in a completed mechanical room

Commissioning

Systems are tested as a building, not as isolated components waiting for final inspection.

Verified operational systems
Superintendent transferring operational records to the facility team at a completed commercial building

Handover

Training, records, outstanding work, and operational readiness resolved before the keys change hands.

Ready operations team

What the sequence protects

Decisions reach the field with an owner.

Working cost

Estimates stay connected to actual scope, release dates, and field access.

Working schedule

Milestones are translated into procurement, inspections, and crew-ready areas.

Working information

Questions are closed against the sequence before downstream work inherits them.

Operational readiness

Training, testing, records, and outstanding work are resolved as one closeout plan.

Project readiness / preconstruction

Bring the field
into the room early.

Tell us what is fixed, what is moving, and what the operation cannot compromise.
