Design–Build

Design–build puts the architect, the engineers and the builder under one contract. You get one price, one schedule and one team accountable for both the drawings and the building.

How it works

You bring the brief; we bring architects, engineers and builders who sit at one table. Every design option is priced by the people who will build it, so the drawings never outrun the budget.

Because design and construction overlap, early packages such as ground works and long-lead materials can start while the later details are still being drawn. On most projects that saves two to four months against a traditional sequence.

What you can expect

• One contract and one price from concept to handover

• Design reviews with live cost and schedule impact

• Permits and approvals managed in-house

• A guaranteed maximum price fixed before construction

When the people drawing the building are the people building it, the drawings stop being a wish list and start being a plan.

Design and build working to one shared model, from the crane plan to the facade.

One point of responsibility

If something in the design does not work on site, there is no argument about whose problem it is. We own both sides, so we fix it and keep the schedule moving.

Handover and beyond

We commission every system, hand over as-built drawings and stay on call with a two-year workmanship warranty and a named contact who knows the building.
