  • What is Design-Build?

    Building or renovating any structure requires a number of steps. Of those, the designing stage and the building stage require the most time and effort.


    During the design stage, property owners and their design teams work together to create an ideal plan. This plan could include concept art, floor plan edits, lists of desired paint colours, appliances, and more.


    After establishing the initial concept, the property owner then works with construction services to bring their ideas from the design phase to life.


    With the design-build method, property owners complete both design and construction phases while working with one unified company. Design-Build companies have in-house interior designers working in tandem with seasoned construction experts.
