About

Working with Design Systems Builders, LLC

In 1976, T.W. Frierson Contractor, Inc. expanded their services to offer a pre-engineered building system in the company’s arsenal of building solutions, and created Design Systems Builders, LLC. Increasing our self performance services  was an easy decision and married perfectly with our philosophy of employing skilled craftspeople to control quality, cost and schedule. 

DSB partners with General Contractors, Developers, and End Users to furnish and erect the products and systems engineered and manufactured by Butler Manufacturing, Inc. Recognized as the “premium product” in the pre-engineered building market, Butler Manufacturing was chosen because of their history of quality and performance in the pre-engineered metal building segment of our industry. Click here to tour Butler Manufacturing’s Research Center.  

Safety is not just a priority, it’s engrained in our culture. Driven by the need to ensure this premium product is constructed safely and at the highest quality, we train our own crews to erect Butler product in the safest possible manner.  With an EMR of 0.83, we consistently work safer than our industry peers. Components of our extensive safety program includes Daily Stretch and Flex, Full Tie Off,  and SkyWeb II utilization. 

Each member of our construction team is dedicated to providing a safe job site and the best quality and performance for our customers. Our commitment, expertise and excellent reputation make us the ideal choice for the design and construction of your facility.

We love to make our Clients look good.

Customer Testimonial

Our reputation within the community has grown as customers have come to appreciate our commitment, expertise and reliability.

This project was under a very short timeline and had a high level of customization required to accommodate Polaris’ processing equipment. This Team was selected as they had demonstrated that they could complete other customized projects and meet our timeline. Their design team was able to quickly complete the building shell designs and allow construction to begin while the interior designs were being finalized. They maintained effective daily communication with us to finalize the design details. Their construction experience proved invaluable as they presented value engineered solutions to our equipment requirements that didn’t jeopardize cost or schedule. With this aggressive schedule they were able to complete the work in a safe manner and with excellent quality.

Operation Project Director, Polaris Industries

Our multi-cultural ownership and US management team needed the comprehensive and self-performing experience, assurance and attitude provided by the Team. The collaboration with Architectural and Grading resources already contracted to the project was excellent. The delivery of the PEMB, Mechanical, Electrical and Cement finishing was timely, within budget range for bid work and executed with great attention to detail with daily / weekly tracking and meetings.

President, American Wonder Porcelain

The method in which (the project team) attacked the project, gave me greater confidence that we had chosen the right partner for this tremendous undertaking. Everyone in the First Industrial family is delighted with our decision to work with DSB, and your organization’s service and professionalism. We worked well together in determining the best means to deliver a quality product in a highly accelerated fashion. We appeared to have your resources at our disposal when they were needed most.
