Roberts Design Build Solutions is the integrated project delivery division of Roberts Environmental Control Corp. — a premier mechanical contractor serving commercial and industrial facilities across Illinois and the Midwest for over four decades.
Roberts Environmental Control Corp. has been a premier mechanical contractor serving commercial and industrial facilities across Illinois and the Midwest since 1985. Over four decades, Roberts built a reputation for technical depth, reliable execution, and a workforce that takes pride in precision craftsmanship.
The Design Build Solutions division was created to meet growing demand for integrated project delivery. Facility directors and building owners were tired of the same broken cycle: fragmented responsibility across disconnected trades, lowest-bid contractors cutting corners on quality, and projects that consistently came in late and over budget.
They wanted one team that would own the outcome — from initial concept through commissioning and closeout.
Roberts DBS was built to answer that need. Backed by Roberts' deep bench of engineers, project managers, BIM specialists, and union craftsmen — and empowered by BuyFair cooperative contracting — DBS delivers projects with a level of accountability, transparency, and speed that traditional bid-build methods simply cannot match.
Every project we take on is guided by four principles that define how we work and what our clients can expect.
Our own union craftsmen install the critical systems. No subcontractor roulette on the work that matters most. When Roberts' name is on the project, Roberts' people are doing the work — HVAC, piping, sheet metal, and controls performed by tradespeople we trained and trust.
Every dollar tracked and auditable. No hidden markups. No change-order games. Full cost visibility from day one. Our clients see exactly where their money goes, and we document every decision so there are never any surprises at closeout.
One contract. One team. One phone call when you need answers. Design-build eliminates the blame game between designers, engineers, and contractors. Roberts DBS owns the outcome from concept through commissioning.
Audit-proof procurement through BuyFair. Complete documentation for your records. Fully compliant in all 50 states. Public agencies can move forward with confidence, knowing the procurement process is legally defensible and thoroughly documented.
