Design & Build in North Devon
One team from the first sketch to the finished building, so nothing gets lost between the drawings and the build.
Why design and build?
With a traditional route you hire a designer, then go out to tender, then hire a builder. Gaps between the two are where costs creep up and delays happen. With design and build, one team is responsible for both, so the design is developed with the build in mind from day one.
What's included
- Site visit and talking through what you want to achieve
- Measured survey and design drawings
- Help with planning applications or Class Q prior approval
- Building regulations drawings, working with engineers where needed
- A clear, itemised price for the work
- Construction, project management and handover
Who it suits
Design and build works well for extensions, barn conversions and new homes, especially if you want one point of contact and a clear price, rather than managing designers and builders separately.
Common questions
Is design and build more expensive?
Not necessarily. Because the design is developed with the build in mind, it can help avoid costly changes later on.
Can I still choose finishes and make changes?
Yes. You stay in control of the decisions. We just make sure they're practical and priced.
Do you do the planning application?
We can prepare and manage the application with the right specialists where needed.
