Design and build

Design and build: one firm, start to finish

We offer an end-to-end service for homeowners who would like us to handle every aspect of the design and build of their home, and a build-only service for those who already have an architect.

What is a design and build company?

A design and build company takes responsibility for both designing your project and building it. Instead of hiring an architect, then finding builders to price the drawings, you have one contract and one point of contact throughout.

  • One firm accountable for the design and the build
  • Designs priced as they’re developed, so there are fewer budget surprises
  • Faster: no gap between design and tendering
  • Practical, buildable designs from people who build them

Common questions

What does design and build mean?

It means one company handles both the design and the construction of your project, under one contract.

Is design and build cheaper?

It can be, because the design is priced as it develops and there’s no separate tender stage. More importantly, it reduces the risk of a design that costs more to build than you expected.
