ARCO Design/Build growth playbook

Write six case studies in one template (the client's problem, the design-build decisions, schedule and cost results, a client quote, photos): three life sciences (Lonza, HD Smith, one Raleigh-Durham project), one mission critical, two commercial. Respect confidentiality with anonymized versions where needed. Link each from its industry page, the matching project page and the pursuit library.

Owners in regulated and complex sectors buy on evidence of how a builder handled problems like theirs. Case studies also give the account-based programs something specific to send.

Client and sector:
The challenge (in the owner's words):
Why design-build:
Key decisions (site, design, procurement, phasing):
Schedule: planned vs delivered
Cost: budget certainty and changes
Compliance (e.g. FDA, GMP) handled how:
Result for the client's business:
