Commercial Construction & Project Management.
Build with clarity, less risk, and one team accountable from start to finish.
Aura’s project delivery team executes office renovations through an integrated model that connects workplace strategy, design, construction and project management. This alignment limits handoffs, creates stronger coordination across teams, and provides a smooth path from planning to completed workplace.
Reduced Risk and Fewer Surprises 
Aura’s Integrated Design-Build.
The biggest risk in workplace projects often shows up between design and construction. That is where timelines slip, budgets drift, details get diluted, and the original intent can get lost in handoffs.
Aura’s integrated design-build model is built to reduce that gap. Because strategy, interior design, and construction are connected from the start, decisions are made with delivery in mind. The result is a more coordinated process, clearer accountability, and a workplace that is carried through with greater consistency from concept to completion.
“We take an integrated project delivery approach that brings everyone to the table from day one. By working as one team with shared goals, we reduce risk, avoid delays, and keep quality high—delivering faster, more efficiently, and with greater cost control.”
What Clients Can Expect from Aura.
No matter the project, Aura brings strategy, design, and construction together under one team, so decisions stay aligned from the start and the work carries through with less friction.
Built to Budget
With progressive budgeting during the design phase, project costs become clearer before construction begins.
Schedules in Sync
We treat timelines with the same precision as design. Our construction schedules account for every detail, giving project stakeholders real-time visibility into progress.
Risk Mitigation
By managing design and construction under one contract, Aura can identify risks earlier, communicate them clearly, and resolve issues before they create bigger delays or cost impacts.
Clearer Accountability
One team stays involved from early planning through delivery, so responsibility stays clear and decisions do not get lost between partners.
Fewer Handoffs
Your project is not passed from team to team. With Aura, the people shaping the work stay involved, helping reduce gaps, repetition, and lost context.
Faster Response
Questions get answered faster when the right people are already at the table. That helps keep momentum when the project needs to move.
Committed to Your Satisfaction.
Client satisfaction starts with understanding what matters most before decisions are made. Aura takes the time to understand your goals, challenges, and the realities shaping your project, then turns that insight into a workplace designed to support your team, your business, and the way you need the space to perform. The result is not just a smoother project experience, but a workplace that feels aligned long after move-in.
Frequently Asked Questions.
The right project delivery method depends on how much certainty, flexibility, and coordination your project needs. Traditional split delivery separates design and construction, while design-build brings them together under one team and one contract.
Companies often choose design-build because it simplifies communication, improves collaboration, and gives the client one point of accountability across design and construction.
A stipulated-sum contract sets a defined project price before construction begins (but after design is completed), which gives the client more cost certainty and shifts more overrun risk to the contractor. A cost-plus contract reimburses actual project costs plus a fee, which allows more flexibility but puts more cost exposure and oversight on the client.
Aura’s model uses progressive budgeting during design, typically at the 15%, 30%, and 60% drawing milestones, so costs become clearer as the design develops. Once the design is finalized, a stipulated-sum contract is executed for construction, which gives clients a defined project price before the build starts and reduces the likelihood of later budget shifts.
Aura describes integrated project delivery as a way to keep project components interconnected, with strategy, design, and delivery working together instead of in silos. The main benefits called out are stronger communication, closer alignment between design and construction, and finances that stay more in sync throughout the project. That helps reduce delays, disconnects, and issues that tend to surface when teams are separated.
Design-build tends to work best when clients want one team carrying the project through, clearer accountability, and less friction between planning and construction.

Workplace Strategy
Aura helps leaders align on outcomes, validate assumptions with workplace analytics, and define the strategy outputs that guide design-build with less rework and fewer surprises. Best for teams facing lease renewal, relocation, consolidation, growth, hybrid friction, underused space, meeting congestion, and focus issues.
