A design build contractor is a method of building where a contracting firm controls your project every step of the building process. With this in mind, it all begins with the design process. The contractor sources the design services, whenever possible in house. Otherwise, they may source 3rd party design and engineering as part of a joint venture. This method of contracting allows for a project focus on quality and adjustability to meet certain criteria the owner may want. Furthermore, this also gives the contractor more time to familiarize themselves with certain qualities of your project. Thus, allowing the contractor to provide a more accurate bid. At last, the clients and all parties have a more well-organized project which is more likely to be delivered on time.
Specifically, a cost-plus contracting method is often used when an owner is going to build one or multiple projects and sources separate teams for the design and construction phases. With this in mind, sometimes owners choose this method if they already have great relationships with their architects or engineers. Otherwise, this process is usually used to build multiple locations for a business around the country with different general contractors. Furthermore, this method is common, but at times can focus less on the feasibility of the design’s constructability. Thus, ultimately resulting in unforeseen issues, budget overages, and delays throughout the construction process. At last, to use this method, contractors will provide owners with material and labor costs plus a markup %.

Meet the family leadership team, you can learn more about the history of our family below.
Jennifer and Rich Appleby meet one another in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Jennifer and Rich have their two sons, Rich is working at a national commercial construction company, and Jennifer is working for the local newspaper.
Jennifer and Rich moved their family to the triangle specifically Apex, NC where they have remained ever since.
Rich remained in the construction industry where he worked for more than 5 national contractors. Jennifer switched careers and worked for a local microchip engineering and manufacturing firm who she still keeps in touch with.
Rich and Jennifer start their own contracting firm originally named Appleby Contractor Services.
Rich and Jennifer’s son Brian joins the entrepreneurship journey with them. He would later lead the establishment of Carolina Cabinet Company through a different operations model than the typical cabinet distributor. This allowed them to offer their customers high quality AWI casework and residential cabinetry at a discounted rate.
The Triangle continued to experience exponential growth and so did the Appleby family. To this day they continue to stick to their roots and beliefs of operating a fair and honest contracting firm and cabinetry company.
