Custom Solutions

Engineered Rigging has provided design-build services since our inception. In the United States, design-build construction spending is projected to grow by 22.5% from 2022 to 2026. Analysts anticipate this construction approach will account for $1.9 trillion during that same period, according to market research from FMI Consulting and the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA). Highway/street (18%), manufacturing (14%), commercial (13%), and educational (13%) projects are expected to capture the greatest percentage of this spending. Engineered Rigging leverages our proven process, talented people and innovative technologies to deliver turnkey heavy-lifting solutions for these varied design-build segments.

The Advantages of Design-Build

When our engineers and production team collaborate from the onset of a project, it creates synergies that often result in:

  • More innovation: a higher-quality, more functional finished product
  • Faster project completion
  • Early procurement and stronger supply chains
  • Collaboration with custom fabricators
  • Increased prefabrication of purpose-built parts
  • Dynamic scheduling
  • Cost savings
  • Rigorous quality control
  • Streamlined communications
