The design phase is the most crucial step in turning your project into reality. While a beautiful structure is ideal, it must also be practical and cost-effective to ensure it can be built. Our design approach focuses on:
-
Aesthetics and Visual Impact
-
Cost and Budget
-
Efficiency
-
Safety
With years of experience, we understand that great design goes beyond just appearance. As both designers and builders, we prioritize creating designs that are not only visually stunning but also efficient, safe, and within budget.
Unlike many design firms that claim construction experience but often produce designs that exceed budgets, we combine both expertise.
Many firms show only a few actual built projects in their portfolio and rely heavily on high design fees to cover operational costs.
At our company, we design and build. This unique combination pushes us to ensure every project is not only beautiful and functional but also achievable within your budget.
DESIGN FEE
Our design fees vary based on the size and complexity of your project. These rates are for budgeting purposes and may change depending on specific project factors. If we are awarded the construction contract, the design fees will be deducted from the overall construction cost. Here are our typical rates:
