What is Design + Build?

‘Design Build’ is a term used in the construction industry to describe the process where the homeowner contracts with a single-source responsible to manage the architectural, interior design, engineering and construction of the new home or renovation project. In the traditional design, then bid, and then build model, homeowners typically contract and separately communicate with the design team and then the contractor and also back and forth between the parties. While this may seem like a way to maintain checks and balances, this is not always the most efficient way of achieving your dreams and desires and can cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstanding, stress and conflict.

When you hire a Design+Build firm, you have a buck-stops-here-accountable point of contact laser-focused on quality collaboration with you from the outset and throughout every detail of the design and the build to ensure the best possible design-centric solutions for problem solving and innovation. This process simplifies the delivery of your home in not only a more cost effective and time efficient manner, but in an immeasurably more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
