Alternative Delivery Contracts
Fred Smith Company partners with prime contractors, design-build teams, and engineering firms to deliver complex civil infrastructure projects. Our experienced people, self-perform capabilities, asphalt production, and local knowledge give project teams a dependable construction partner from early planning through final delivery.
Built for Collaborative Delivery
Design-build and alternative delivery contracts require close coordination well before construction begins. Contractors, designers, owners, and construction teams must align around the design, schedule, phasing, and requirements of the project.
Fred Smith Company brings practical field experience to that process. When involved early, our teams can help evaluate construction approaches, identify potential challenges, and develop a plan that can be executed safely and efficiently in the field.
Capabilities That Strengthen the Team
Our capabilities include asphalt paving and production, highway and road construction, sitework, airfield construction, and bridges, culverts, and retaining walls.
Bringing multiple civil construction capabilities together gives the project team one experienced partner with greater control over crews, equipment, materials, and scheduling. It also creates clearer accountability across related scopes of work.
From Planning to Project Delivery
A successful alternative delivery project depends on turning early decisions into a workable construction plan. Our project leaders and field teams stay connected throughout the process, helping maintain continuity as the work moves from design and preconstruction into active construction.
Self-performed work and in-house material production give our teams direct visibility into resources and jobsite conditions. That information supports informed decisions, timely communication, and reliable execution.
A Partner Teams Can Rely On
Alternative delivery works best when every partner understands its role, communicates clearly, and remains accountable for the work. Fred Smith Company brings the experience and resources to support the larger team while staying focused on safety, quality, and schedule.
