Design-build FAQs
What is design-build?
Design-build means one company handles both the design and the construction of your project under one contract. You work with a single team from first sketch to final inspection.
Is design-build cheaper than hiring an architect and a contractor separately?
It often saves money and time because the design is priced by the team that will build it, so you avoid designing something that is over budget. Every project is different, so we give you an estimate with your design proposal.
Do you provide architectural drawings for permits?
Yes. We prepare plans, elevations and details in AutoCAD and Revit and coordinate any engineering required for Philadelphia L&I permits.
Can I hire you only for design or drawings?
Yes. Our drafting and design services are available on their own for homeowners, investors, realtors and architecture firms.
Can I see my project before it is built?
Yes. We provide 3D views and photo-realistic renderings so you can see the space before construction starts.
