Design and Build in the East Bay
Design build means the people who draw your project are the people who build it. No throwing plans over a wall, no finger pointing when the drawing does not match the framing. One team owns the design, the budget, and the result.
How we approach it
Designing and building under one roof keeps the budget honest. We price what we draw, so you are not handed a beautiful plan you cannot afford. If something is too expensive, you find out while it is still a line on paper.
It also keeps the work tight. The detail you discussed at the table is the detail that gets built, because the same team carries it the whole way.
What it covers
- Concept and space planning
- Material and fixture selection
- Construction drawings and permit sets
- Real budgets tied to real drawings
- Construction by the same team
- One point of accountability, start to finish
Good questions
Things people ask
Not sure where to start? Call us. The first conversation is free and there is no pressure.
- How is design build different from hiring an architect and then a contractor?
- With the traditional path you coordinate two companies and absorb the gap between them. With design build, one team owns both, so the budget and the buildability are part of the design from day one.
- Do you charge for design separately?
- We scope design and construction clearly so you know what you are paying for at each stage. We will lay that out in the first conversation.
