Design & Build

We deliver projects in the Design & Build formula, combining design, coordination and construction in one coherent process.

This is a solution for clients who expect greater accountability on one side, more efficient communication and better control over schedule and budget.

When is Design & Build worth choosing?

You want a single point of accountability for the entire process.

You want more efficient communication between designer and contractor.

Schedule and budget control is a priority.

You want a fast response to changes during delivery.

From strategy to finished space

In this formula we lead the project from strategy and concept, through documentation, pricing and contractor coordination, to the delivery of the finished space. By combining design and delivery competences we can respond to changes faster, optimise solutions and effectively bring the project to its final result.

Accountability that pays off

Design & Build also enables more effective implementation of commitments around diversity, accessibility, wellbeing and sustainability. Accountability for the entire process facilitates quality control, reduces the risk of accidental substitutions and allows material, technical and budget decisions to be made more consciously — to the benefit of people, the organisation and the environment.

PROCESS

One team,
one process

Strategy & concept

We start with strategy and concept, just as in a classic project. This is the foundation on which we build the subsequent stages.

Documentation & pricing

We prepare documentation and pricing while coordinating contractors simultaneously. This eliminates communication gaps between design and delivery.

Delivery & quality control

We combine design and delivery competences to respond to changes faster. We control the quality of materials and solutions at every stage of construction.

Finished space

We bring the project to its final result under one coherent responsibility. We make conscious material, technical and budget decisions right to the end.

FAQ

Got questions? Find your answers

How does Design & Build differ from the classic design + contractor model?

In the classic model, the designer and contractor are two separate parties, which can complicate communication. In Design & Build both areas are on one side, which facilitates coordination and speeds up decisions.

Is Design & Build more expensive than a standard delivery?

Not necessarily — combining competences often reduces costs resulting from communication errors and design changes. The final cost depends on the scope of the specific project, however.

Does the client lose influence over design decisions in this formula?

No, the client still participates in key decisions at every stage of the process. Design & Build streamlines communication but does not replace collaboration with the client.

For what types of projects does Design & Build work best?

It works best for projects where delivery time and budget predictability matter. It is appreciated by clients who want to reduce the number of parties involved in the process.
