Design & Build

One team from first sketch to final handover. We design and build complete projects under a single roof, keeping your build on time, on budget and on brief.

Design and build

One team, concept to completion

The simplest way to run a project is to keep design and build together. With one team responsible for both, there's no gap between the drawing and the delivery, no finger-pointing when something needs solving, and one point of contact from start to finish. It's a smoother process for you and a better result on the ground.

We take a project from initial concept and design through every stage of construction to a finished, handed-over build. Architectural and structural design, engineering, fit-out and the build itself all sit with us, managed to one programme. That joined-up approach is what keeps quality high, costs controlled and surprises to a minimum.

Our Design & Build services include:

  • Full design and build packages
  • Electrical and mechanical works
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Complete fit-outs
  • Architectural and structural design
  • Civil engineering design
  • Traditional and steel frame construction
  • Statutory authority design and coordination
FAQs

Design and build questions, answered

The things clients most often ask before starting a design and build project, from managing the whole process to bringing us in at the concept stage. If there's anything else you need to know, get in touch and we'll talk it through.
What does design and build actually mean?

It means one team takes care of both the design and the construction, rather than you appointing a designer and a builder separately. You get a single point of responsibility for the whole project, which removes the gaps where things get missed and makes the process far simpler to manage from your side.

Can you take a project on from concept stage?

Yes, and it's the ideal time to involve us. Coming in early means the design is shaped by what's practical and affordable to build, not just what looks good on paper. We'll work alongside your architects and engineers, or bring our own, to develop a plan that's realistic on cost and programme from the very start.

Do you handle the design work in-house?

We handle architectural, structural and civil engineering design, and coordinate the wider technical work as part of the package. Keeping design close to the build means the two stay aligned the whole way through, so what's drawn is what gets built, without the disconnect you often get when they sit with separate firms.

Will one design and build price be more cost-effective?

Usually, yes. A single team pricing and delivering the whole project means tighter cost control, fewer surprises and less risk of expensive gaps between design and build. You get one clear cost plan agreed up front, and we manage the project to it rather than passing extra costs back to you.

Do you manage building regulations and approvals?

Yes. We handle the design coordination with statutory authorities and make sure the project meets the relevant regulations and approvals as part of the service. It's one less thing for you to chase, and it keeps the whole process moving without the delays that missed approvals can cause.

Can you deliver both traditional and steel frame builds?

We can. Whether a project suits traditional construction or a steel frame approach, we've got the design and build experience to deliver either. We'll advise on which makes more sense for your site, budget and timescale, then take it through to completion.
