The BuildTrue Process
A proven path
through complexity.
BuildTrue brings client direction, design experience and construction judgment together before momentum makes change expensive.
Five-Day Work Session
At the client’s location, leadership, law enforcement staff, the design partner and construction management partner align operations, staffing, inmate management, scope and cost. The result is a client-approved plan and detailed budget.
↗Cost + Scope Control
Prioritized design alternatives are paired with cost contingencies, allowing the team to adjust intelligently as needs change. Construction-side cost insight and design-side solutions stay connected from the outset.
↗Quality + Schedule Control
Cross-discipline document checks improve accuracy. The client and both team partners set the schedule together, receive updates at agreed intervals and monitor progress monthly through design, bidding and construction.
↗Public accountability: Projects are publicly bid, with sealed bids opened at the client's location. Local participation is strongly encouraged, with approximately 70–80% historically performed by area trades.
Budgets are promises.
We help you keep them.
Cost knowledge belongs at the beginning—not after the design is complete.
