Design & Build FAQs
What is design and build construction?
Design and build is an integrated delivery model where one company is responsible for both the design and construction of your project. This eliminates the gap between architect and builder, reduces risk, and typically delivers projects faster and at lower cost.
Do I need to provide plans for a design and build project?
No. We start from your brief — your wish list, lifestyle needs, block, and budget. Our team develops the design from scratch and coordinates all documentation through to planning approval and construction.
Is design and build more expensive than hiring an architect separately?
Not typically. Because our design decisions are informed by real construction costs from day one, you avoid expensive redesigns and budget mismatches. Most clients find the total project cost is comparable or lower, with fewer surprises.
