At EDWC, our mission is powered by the businesses that believe in building stronger communities—and Design 2 Construct is a perfect example.

Contributor Spotlight – Design 2 Construct

For more than 35 years, Design 2 Construct has been shaping Washington County and the surrounding region through a client-first approach that prioritizes relationships over transactions. Their philosophy is simple: do exceptional work, and clients will refer you forward. That mindset has fueled their long-term success.

As a commercial design-build firm, their impact spans industrial, manufacturing, and high-end dental and medical facilities—along with a Special Projects Division that brings the same level of care to everything from remodels to luxury spaces.

Their connection to EDWC runs deep. Founder Jim Blise helped shape the organization in its early days, served on our board and supported EDWC’s mission for over a decade. That mission—fueling growth companies to create quality jobs—aligns closely with Design 2 Construct’s own priorities.

For their team, growth isn’t just about projects. It’s about people.

Their perspective on economic development is grounded in experience: when local businesses succeed, entire communities benefit—from employees to families to future generations.
