Simply put, Design-Build is the concept of partnering the best fit team, from the very start in order to complete the project successfully and also provide the highest satisfaction, quality and best price to the Client/Owner. Basically it’s like putting together any team. You pick teammates you know you can collaborate with, have a proven past track record with, trust, support and ultimately win the game with. Design-Build has many advantages to ensuring a successful completed project when working together as a team. For over 70 years, Cely has found this “team” concept to be most beneficial to the owner.

“Cely Construction was the only general contractor that seemed genuinely interested in tackling a very unique project with an unclear road map. Even though it was our initial meeting, we felt that Cely Construction truly had a vested interest in our success.”
The Cely Way
“The Cely Way” means honoring our relationships with our customers, partners and community.
It means being committed to safety, performance excellence, effective and strategic planning, collaboration, client discretion, effective problem solving, and communication.
It means offering flexible building options, such as fast tracking and fixed pricing.
Our philosophy is that attitude is one of the most important factors in life, whether personal or business. Cely Construction works hard to establish a company-wide attitude of partnership and customer service. We find our long-term relationships with local suppliers and subcontractors assist us in providing our clients with unparalleled general contractor service and resources. Past projects will attest to our willingness to provide “open book” pricing and the ability to respond to customer needs.
