THE DESIGN-BUILD EXPERTS

Our expertise in Design-Build is an integral part of how we overdeliver daily. This system allows open collaboration between all teams through a single contract. From the moment we sit down together to cutting the grand opening ribbon of your new facility, the Robbins team will handle everything. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all your commercial general contractor and design needs.

Design-Build benefits include:

  • Eliminate any finger-pointing with a single source of responsibility
  • Streamline communication resulting in higher-quality builds and less time wasted on saying the same thing to multiple teams
  • Increase transparency and accuracy in costs projections from day one
  • Utilize the most cost-effective method for commercial buildings, like big box retail construction, or industrial facilities
  • Minimize mistakes and costly change orders with consistent reviews and collaboration between teams
  • All project members are aligned from the initial concept to completion

Low-bids are deceiving

Integrity, trust, and client advocacy are part of our core values. While a low-bid may look attractive on the surface, various lingering downsides will drive up the cost and timeline of your project. We care about every one of our clients and want to be a resource for them for years to come. That’s why we offer the Design-Build delivery method and even utilize its same principles when we’re developing budgets for your set of drawings or project. This helps avoid mishaps like excessive change orders, gaps in documentation, reduced quality of work, and costly delays that are common with low-bids.

PRECONSTRUCTION

With our proven processes and experienced team, Robbins Construction Group is dedicated to ensuring your project gets off to the right start.

Budget Development & Maintenance
The cornerstone of a successful build.

An accurate budget is critical to the success of any project. That's why we take extra care in developing comprehensive quantity surveys to create a baseline budget at the schematic design stage. This allows us to analyze, track and monitor costs throughout the entire design process, ensuring your project stays on budget and on schedule.

Value Engineering & Cost Analysis
Cut down on expenses without sacrificing quality.

Every decision matters when it comes to bringing your vision to life, especially regarding cost. Our team provides an in-depth value analysis of building components and systems, looking at every client's first and life-cycle costs. Wherever possible, we strive to suggest high-quality, more affordable alternatives.

Project Logistics Plan
We take care of the details, so you don’t have to worry.

Every project is unique and unveils its own set of challenges to overcome. We create tailored site logistics and project-specific safety plans so each project runs smoothly. And rest assured, you’ll be in the loop every step of the way - over-communicating is an essential part of our process.

Local Approvals & Permits
Keep your project in compliance.

Navigating local jurisdictions and regulations can be complex and confusing. Our team will initiate meetings with the relevant authorities and incorporate their forecasted approvals into the master development schedule to save you time and hassle. If needed, we will engage a third-party expeditor to further assist with the City’s approval processes.

Design Drawing Coordination
A streamlined and seamless design process.

We own the design process and coordinate each discipline with one another for a fully integrated project. Our team consistently searches for ways to improve the overall project budget baseline to provide the best project outcome for the owner in relation to budget, construction schedule, and production efficiency.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

We’ve compiled a team of experts that are comfortable and confident jumping in at any stage of your project. From procurement to completion, we’ll bring your project over the finish line.

Procurement
Setting professional prequalification standards.

We carefully evaluate subcontractors' resources and proven ability to deliver with a detailed prequalification process. All bid packages are tailored to each project's exact plans, specifications, and requirements, underpinned by integrity and equality for all participants. We’re committed to eliminating any conflicts through a rigorous system of proposal validation and subcontractor interviewing based on our strict criteria below.


Financial Stability
We look into cash flow, current projects, and a firm’s ability to withstand financial stress.


Expertise
All partners have a proven track record of high-quality performance and references.


Overdelivering
We overdeliver on every project and need subcontractors to meet the same quality of work.


Safety
As one of our core values, proper safety planning, hazard recognition/analysis, and site controls are critical.


Value
We strive for partnerships that believe in going against the grain and finding new, innovative paths to overdelivery.


Cost
Price is important - we get it, and we want to help. Finding the best value for the best price is key.

Construction
30+ years of industry master

Is your project going down the path of traditional construction? Our combined decades of industry experience allow us to integrate seamlessly with full-service construction projects. Whether you choose Design-Build or traditional project delivery, the Robbins Approach will stand strong through completion. 

For our clients, we focus on:

  • Quality Control/Assurance. While keeping a tight schedule is an important aspect of any project, doing it right comes above everything. We’ve developed unique systems based on our experience that ensure quality construction and proper flow of deliverables.
  • Reporting/Transparency. We keep our clients appraised of any and all project updates. Through consistent reporting, we strive to make the process as transparent as possible while maintaining the ability to make swift pivots when needed to overdeliver.

Operations
From pre-construction to the finishing touches.

Our structured and proven approach allows us to transition between any stage of the project, always executing with precision and care.


Consistent Communication
Weekly updates, detailed reporting, and cloud-based software ensure infinite access to project progress.


Technology
We take pride in continuously iterating and innovating using industry-leading technology like PROCORE and LEVELSET.


Risk Control/Management
Our strict criteria and procedures help vet vendors, manage payments, and comply with local regulations.


Site Logistics & Schedule
Comprehensive site logistics plans and schedules are maintained throughout the duration of the project.

With Robbins Construction Group, we’re all in this together.

We ensure that we overdeliver on every project through:

  • Teamwork. We don’t just provide solutions; we provide results. When we face a challenge, we roll up our sleeves and solve it together.
  • Total Accountability. As one entity responsible for the entire project, more attention and accuracy are given to pricing, scheduling, and execution.
  • Owner Involvement. We believe that you want to take an active role in their projects.
  • Collaboration. We take out the big egos that are so common in the design industry. You’re empowered with total control over your project, with our team of experts to help execute.
  • Open, Honest, and Frequent Communication. Transparency is a vital part of our process. We believe partnerships succeed by keeping you informed about the good, the bad, and all the pivots in between. We have clear expectations and open communication from the start.

Citizen of the Year – Boy Scouts of America Coastal Carolina Council

The Boy Scouts of America Coastal Carolina Council honored Derek K. Robbins, President and CEO of Robbins Construction Group, with its prestigious “Citizen of the Year” award in recognition of his outstanding leadership, commitment to youth development, and lasting contributions to the Scouting community.

A cornerstone of this recognition was Robbins' vision to establish Construction Explorer Post #3262, an innovative workforce development initiative designed to introduce young men and women to careers in the commercial construction industry. Under the leadership of Robbins Construction Group, the Explorer Post participated in an intensive eight-month program that provided hands-on exposure to every phase of the construction process. Participants gained practical experience in project planning, site layout, estimating, safety protocols, blueprint interpretation, scheduling, material procurement, and field construction techniques.

As the culmination of the program, the students successfully designed and constructed a storage building that was donated to the BSA Coastal Carolina Council for use at Camp Ho Non Wah on Wadmalaw Island. The project not only provided valuable real-world construction experience but also left a lasting contribution to one of the Council's most treasured camps, reinforcing the values of teamwork, craftsmanship, leadership, and community service.

Reflecting on the honor, Robbins stated:

"It is truly an honor to receive this recognition, but the real credit belongs to the dedicated volunteers and leaders of the Boy Scouts of America who selflessly invest countless hours mentoring and developing our youth. As the father of two Scouts—one of whom earned the rank of Eagle Scout—I have witnessed firsthand the tremendous impact Scouting has on building character, leadership, integrity, and a strong sense of service to others. The lessons learned through Scouting prepare young people not only for successful careers but, more importantly, for successful lives. It has been a privilege for Robbins Construction Group to partner with the Coastal Carolina Council and help inspire
