Our team is serving as the integrated design-builder for the City of Fort Worth’s first progressive design-build (PDB) transportation project — a $42 million greenfield extension of Everman Parkway in southern Fort Worth.

This transformative project will deliver nearly 1 mile of new roadway, an innovative multilane roundabout intersection at Hemphill Road, a 750-foot bridge spanning the Union Pacific Railroad, and enhanced multimodal and pedestrian connections serving one of the city’s fastest-growing industrial corridors.

In partnership with the city, we were able to achieve groundbreaking within nine months of contract execution, setting a record for the city and exceeding industry standards for comparable infrastructure programs.

This initial PDB project is redefining how the city approaches complex infrastructure by promoting collaboration, transparency and shared accountability. From the earliest design stages, we worked with city staff to develop an initial cost estimate at nearly 0% design, validating budget alignment and enabling informed decision-making. Through early risk workshops and continuous cost modeling, the team identified and implemented time- and cost-saving innovations, including a channel realignment and box culvert strategy that eliminated two bridge structures and saved more than $1 million.
