DESIGN & BUILD
Since 1968, Shawnee Construction has offered a true design & build approach for commercial construction throughout Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana—bringing planning, design, and construction together under one experienced team.
Our Design & Build Process
Instead of juggling architects, engineers, and contractors separately, our clients work with one partner from day one. That means clearer communication, faster decisions, fewer surprises, and a finished building that reflects your vision—not a compromise between disconnected teams.
With Shawnee’s design & build process, your project is handled collaboratively from concept through completion. Our estimators, superintendents, project managers, and construction professionals work together from the very beginning—so budgets, timelines, and constructability are considered before the first drawing is finalized.

Personal, Transparent, and Upfront
Our estimating philosophy is simple: We would rather save you money than surprise you with added costs. Budgets are built thoughtfully and conservatively, so you can move forward with confidence rather than uncertainty. Our team takes the time to meet in person, walk job sites, and make sure every detail is understood before construction begins.
