Design | Develop | Construct
One Team. One Contract. One Outcome.
Design-and-construct delivery means you work with a single, accountable partner from concept to completion. We guide projects through concept and planning, design development, approvals, construction, and handover—ensuring design ambitions align with budget realities and site conditions at every stage.
Design
Our approach begins with understanding your vision, site potential, and project constraints. We develop concepts that balance aesthetic aspiration with practical buildability, engaging early with town planning requirements and building codes to identify opportunities and address challenges before they become costly problems.
Our design process includes:
- Conceptual design and feasibility analysis
- Architectural documentation and 3D visualisation
- Town planning and development application coordination
- Engineering integration (structural, hydraulic, electrical)
- Material selection and specification
- Budget alignment and value engineering
Because our designers understand construction constraints and our builders understand design intent, we produce documentation that translates directly to the building site—minimising ambiguity, reducing RFIs, and avoiding the costly variations that often arise when design and construction operate in silos.
Develop
Development is where design intent meets regulatory reality. We manage the full approvals pathway, coordinate consultant input, and refine documentation to ensure your project is fully approved, comprehensively documented, and ready to build.
Our development services include:
- Development application lodgement and management
- Building certifier coordination and compliance certification
- Construction documentation and detailed specifications
- Trade package preparation and subcontractor tendering
- Cost planning and contract scheduling
- Pre-construction planning and site logistics
This phase ensures every detail is resolved before construction begins—reducing delays, eliminating surprises, and providing certainty around cost, timeframe, and quality.
Construct
Construction is where collaboration delivers results. As licensed head contractors, we coordinate all trades, manage quality assurance, and maintain direct accountability for program, budget, and outcomes. You deal with one team, not multiple contractors with competing priorities.
Our construction delivery includes:
- Licensed trade coordination across all disciplines
- Site management and safety compliance (QBCC standards)
- Quality control and progress inspections
- Procurement and materials management
- Program management and progress reporting
- Practical completion and defects management
Our builders work from documentation they've helped develop, which means they understand not just what to build, but why design decisions were made. This produces better outcomes: fewer variations, faster resolution of site issues, and construction that genuinely reflects design intent.
Why Design-and-Construct Works
Traditional procurement separates design from construction. Architects produce drawings. Builders price them. Problems emerge on site. Variations follow. Costs escalate.
Design-and-construct integrates these functions. Our designers attend site meetings. Our builders contribute to design reviews. When challenges arise, we solve them collaboratively—not contractually.
The result:
- Single-point accountability across all project phases
- Design solutions informed by construction expertise
- Reduced variations and cost certainty
- Faster approvals through proactive compliance planning
- Seamless transitions between design, approvals, and construction
We handle complexity so you don't have to. One conversation. One contract. One team delivering your project from first sketch to final handover.
