Design-Build Construction

​Design-build projects offer several advantages, the first being cost savings with a budget established up front. The design-build process also allows for greater creativity throughout project design and construction. Together with our engineering partners, engineers on-staff, and on-site self-performance crew, Docsa has the capabilities to complete all aspects of your project.

Performance Contracting

L.D. Docsa has partnered with Noresco to offer Performance Contracting, also known as an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC). NORESCO is a qualified Energy Service Company (ESCO). By using Performance Contracting, you obtain customized solutions, project financing, as well as sustainable results.

​

In partnership with NORESCO, L.D. Docsa can reduce wastewater treatment energy use and non-revenue water through an energy savings performance contract which addresses challenges on a stand-alone basis, or in combination with other energy and water use efficiency and infrastructure improvements. Infrastructure and operational upgrades require no capital outlay. Instead, they are self-funded through performance contracting. Project benefits can be guaranteed over a multi-year period to ensure success. A performance contract can be your perfect vehicle to cost savings, and best of all -- no change orders!
