Ausonio is a design-build construction firm in Castroville, California, on Commercial Parkway.
The company describes an interdisciplinary approach to construction and a construction management method built around ongoing accountability, and says it works with property owners and architects to develop specifications that control cost.
Design-build means one contract covers both design and construction rather than the owner holding separate agreements with an architect and a builder. The argument for it is that cost feedback reaches the drawings early and there is no gap to argue over when a design proves expensive to build. The argument against is that the party estimating the cost is the same party proposing the design, which is why owners on larger design-build projects sometimes retain their own representative.
California licenses construction contractors through the Contractors State License Board, whose lookup shows classification, status, bond and workers’ compensation coverage.
