For architects & designers

A builder for your design team

We join projects early — bringing cost and buildability advice to the design, then building what was drawn.

01. Early involvement

Protect the design. Price it honestly.

The most useful time to bring in a builder is before the design is fixed.

We join your project team from concept or design development, giving you and your client practical feedback on structure, sequencing, detailing and cost while changes are still inexpensive.

We don’t tender. Instead, we verify cost with you line by line through pre-construction, so the contract price reflects the design you have drawn — not a reduced version of it.

02. What we bring

What we bring to your team

01 Buildability review Practical input on structure, sequencing and detailing while changes are still inexpensive.
02 Cost feedback at concept Honest cost guidance as the design develops, so your client’s budget and your design stay aligned.
03 Line-item pricing Every item on the plans marked up and priced — no allowances standing in for decisions.
04 Fixed-price joinery Joinery design meetings with your client and our joiner, priced before contract.
05 Design intent protected Details built as drawn. Where something must change, we raise it with you first.
06 Clear documentation A live schedule, daily log and weekly site meetings your team can rely on.
