Trusted Support from the Earliest Design Phase
OBE360 integrated project delivery helps bridge the gap between construction, project, and design teams. We can support you by identifying and mitigating project challenges through early-stage collaboration.
We partner with architects, trade partners, construction managers, and owners. By transparently working with all stakeholders, we can help deliver building envelope solutions that are reliable, cost-effective, and scalable.
True Partners in Project Delivery
for Architects
We’ll help preserve design intent and adapt to your needs — while ensuring the right solutions with the right performance in the right application are specified.
for Trade Partners
Let us ensure you have all the correct documentation, prepare shop drawings, troubleshoot issues, and collaborate on schedules and production.
for Construction Managers
Schedules, budgets, and viable alternatives are a few of the things we can support, enabling collaboration across entire design and construction teams.
“OBE worked with our team from beginning to end and was instrumental in ensuring the glazing system was able to meet the unique design requirements and high-performance environmental benchmarks of the facility. They were a valuable partner in the architectural process.”
