Building plans spread across a table while someone marks them up

What early contractor involvement means

Bringing your builder in before the design is fixed saves time and money. Here is how it works.

Planning

Bring the builder in early

Early contractor involvement means your builder joins the team while the design is still changing. We price options as they come up, so the design stays inside the budget.

Why it saves money

Most cost is fixed in the first sketches. A builder who sees those sketches can suggest a cheaper frame, a simpler roof or a faster way to build before anything is drawn in detail.

What it costs you

A small fee for the early work, which is usually taken off the build price if we go on to build the project.
