Design and build


One contract, one team

We bring the architect, engineers and builders together from the first sketch.

What we do

How we work on these projects

With design and build you sign one contract for the whole project. We manage the designers, so buildability and cost are checked at every stage, not after the drawings are finished.

You still choose how the building looks and works. We make sure it can be built for the budget you set.

  • Cost checked at every design stage
  • Architects and engineers we know well
  • Early works can start before design is finished
  • One point of responsibility

Step by step

From first call to handover

Every project follows the same four stages, so you know what happens next and when.

  1. Brief

    What the building must do, the budget and the date you need it.

  2. Concept and cost

    Concept design with a cost plan you can test options against.

  3. Developed design

    Detailed design, consent and a fixed price.

  4. Build and hand over

    The same team that designed it builds it and hands it over.
