At EDWC, our mission is powered by the businesses that believe in building stronger communities—and Design 2 Construct is a perfect example.
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.
They are committed to building meaningful careers, investing in their workforce, and creating an environment where employees can grow long-term. That same mindset extends into the community, where each project is viewed as more than construction—it’s about creating spaces that serve people and strengthen the local economy.
Their perspective on economic development is grounded in experience: when local businesses succeed, entire communities benefit—from employees to families to future generations.
When asked to describe their company in one word, their answer was clear: Motivated.
- Motivated to uphold their legacy.
- Motivated to deliver the best experience possible.
- Motivated to do things the right way.
And their impact through EDWC speaks for itself:
The connections we have made through EDWC have been pivotal to our success throughout the years. Friendships, business connections, and community resources have stemmed through our involvement with EDWC. We are proud to support EDWC because we have seen the impact it has made for our company, but even more importantly, we see the impact on the community.
