Across the country, developers and franchise leaders face a shared challenge—accelerating construction schedules without sacrificing quality or design integrity. Parkway Construction’s 5X Build Process delivers faster design-build construction through an integrated system that unites design, communication, and execution. Built on decades of experience and refined through hundreds of projects, it removes bottlenecks, reduces rework, and ensures schedule predictability, allowing developers to open sooner, generate revenue faster, and maintain consistent quality nationwide.
The 5X Build Process: Redefining Design-Build Efficiency
Parkway Construction’s 5X Build Process is a proprietary, accelerated design-build process that unites design, communication, and execution into one cohesive system for multi-site developers and national brands. Built on five integrated pillars, it eliminates delays, lessens rework, and delivers measurable efficiency gains. Unlike standard methods, our synchronized framework enables real-time collaboration among architects, engineers, trade partners, and clients from the outset. Proven across hundreds of projects, it consistently shortens schedules by up to 33%, enabling clients to open sooner and scale with confidence.
The Five Pillars of the 5X Build Process
The Parkway Construction 5X Build Process is a proprietary project delivery framework built around five interconnected disciplines that redefine how construction projects are planned, designed, and executed. The five principles—Built in Concept, Built in Design, Built in Partnership, Built in Schedule, and Built in the Field—work together to deliver faster, smarter, and more predictable results for every client.
Built in Concept: Early Alignment
Every successful project begins with shared vision and clarity. In the Built in Concept phase, Parkway Construction brings together clients, architects, engineers, and trade partners from the very start. This early collaboration establishes performance goals, budget expectations, and design intent before drawings are finalized.
By integrating constructability reviews, preliminary schedules, and feasibility assessments early, Parkway reduces redesign cycles and shortens approval timelines. The outcome is a repeatable, data-informed process that saves time and ensures consistency across every build.
Built in Design: Digital Integration
Built in Design transforms traditional planning into a digital-first, collaborative process. Using advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, Parkway constructs each project twice—first virtually, then in the field. This virtual model identifies potential design conflicts, sequencing issues, and coordination gaps long before construction begins.
Digital modeling also fosters real-time collaboration between design teams and builders, ensuring the physical build mirrors design intent precisely. This phase minimizes rework, reduces RFIs, and secures faster project delivery with measurable schedule savings.
Built in Partnership: Unified Collaboration
The Built in Partnership phase focuses on transparent relationships and mutual accountability. Parkway leverages a national network of trusted subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants who share the same commitment to quality and efficiency.
Through early engagement and continuous communication, Parkway aligns all stakeholders around shared goals. This approach drives seamless coordination across multiple projects, ensuring each site meets brand standards, adheres to local requirements, and maintains consistent quality nationwide.
Built in Schedule: Streamlined Approvals and Analytics
Built in Schedule combines technology with data-driven precision to keep every project on track. Parkway integrates predictive scheduling tools, real-time analytics, and cloud-based communication platforms to monitor milestones and identify potential risks before they affect delivery.
Approvals that once required weeks can now be achieved in days thanks to transparent workflows, centralized documentation, and proactive issue resolution. Data gathered from previous projects informs future builds, enabling continuous improvement and reliable predictability across development programs.
Built in the Field: Execution and Performance
Built in the Field is where strategy meets craftsmanship. Parkway’s field teams implement the plans developed during earlier phases with discipline and precision. Using digital models, schedule analytics, and on-site data capture, field crews ensure every project is executed to exact specifications.
This phase emphasizes safety, quality control, and communication between field and office teams. As a result, clients receive consistent, high-quality outcomes with faster openings and reduced operational downtime.
The integration achieves measurable schedule predictability that scales across entire development programs. Data drawn from hundreds of completed builds informs future schedules, driving greater efficiency and consistency across markets. For multi-site developers and national brands, schedule analytics translate into reliable openings, faster time to market, and a proven framework for sustainable growth.
A Proven Framework for Predictable Success
The 5X Build Process delivers measurable efficiency, achieving up to a 33% construction schedule reduction compared to traditional delivery methods. This integration of design, communication, and execution streamlines multi-site programs into predictable, efficiently managed builds. Recent retail rollouts show that projects once requiring six to seven months are now completed in as little as four to five—directly translating to earlier openings and faster revenue generation.
Differentiating Parkway From Traditional Design-Build Contractors
While many firms claim design-build expertise, Parkway Construction has transformed it into a disciplined, data-driven system proven across thousands of locations. The 5X Build Process represents the next evolution of delivery—engineered for scalability, speed, and consistency. Each project feeds real performance data back into the process, strengthening future outcomes and turning experience into predictability.
With more than 6,500 projects completed nationwide, we deliver local execution through a unified network of architects, engineers, and construction managers who operate under a single process and standard. This scale-tested model achieves measurable consistency, maintaining 98% on-schedule delivery and 92% repeat business—a reflection of long-term client trust and reliability. The result is a construction approach that sustains uniform quality and performance across dozens of sites simultaneously.
For national developers and franchise operators, this consistency translates directly to value—accelerated openings, predictable schedules, and dependable brand execution across regions. Beyond its systems and analytics, our distinction lies in our partnership-driven culture, which aligns teams with each client’s growth goals from concept through completion. The 5X Build Process doesn’t just deliver faster—it delivers smarter, redefining what true schedule certainty looks like in modern design-build construction.
Addressing Common Pain Points in Construction
The construction industry faces numerous challenges, including delays, cost overruns, and misalignment between design intent and execution. Our 5X Build Process tackles these issues directly, offering an effective and scalable solution.
We focus on early alignment, digital modeling, and streamlined approvals, removing many common causes of delays and inefficiencies. The national partner network and schedule analytics further enhance the process, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
For multi-site developers and construction managers, this means fewer headaches and more predictable outcomes. Our approach not only resolves existing problems but also prevents new ones, making it an ideal partner for those looking to streamline construction programs and achieve faster speed-to-market.
