Full Service USA is a Hallandale Beach, Florida–based design-build general contractor established in 2001, serving Miami and Broward County with over two decades of experience.

In modern times, the most common method of construction has been design-award-build (‘DAB’), also known as design-bid-build (‘DBB’). This method usually starts with the owner selecting an architect or other design professional and the execution of an owner/architect contract. Together, the owner and architect develop and work through various design stages until the final design is completed that meets the needs and goals of the owner. The architect then assists the owner to obtain a contractor who will execute the design in accordance with the owner’s requirements.
A written contract between the owner and contractor is usually executed. The contractor, often termed a general contractor, engages subcontractors to complete the portions of the work not within the capabilities of the contractor, for example, excavation, masonry, steel fabrication, and other specialty work. The subcontractors may in turn have their own sub-subcontractors. Depending on the size of the project, contractors and subcontractors as well as sub-subcontractors will usually execute contracts covering their relationship.
