What We Do

Absolutely. You’re very welcome to work with us just for the architectural design or drawings  and we’re always glad to collaborate in a way that works best for you. While we also offer a full design-and-build service, we don’t believe in locking anyone in.

That said, we do approach architecture with the build in mind from day one. 

A good design should always consider how it will be built — practically, economically, and sustainably — so even when we’re not involved in construction, we’re still thinking ahead to make sure the project runs smoothly down the line. If you decide not to use our build team, we’ll still go the extra mile to help you find the right people. We can provide a shortlist of trusted, accredited builders to approach, so your project is in safe hands.

Yes, in certain cases— we can take on a build where we haven’t done the architectural design — although we’re very selective about taking on build-only projects, and a few important conditions would need to be in place.

Our design-and-build process is carefully integrated, which means we add the most value when we’ve been involved from the early design stages. It’s how we ensure the build is smooth and stable,  well-managed, and aligned with both your budget and vision.  

That said, we do sometimes build projects designed by others — as long as the design is well-developed, realistically costed, and the setup aligns with how we deliver. We don’t tender competitively or work under contract arrangements where we’re not leading procurement and project management, as that often leads to risk and compromise.

So while it is possible, we’ll always review the project first to make sure it’s a good fit — for us, for you, and for the end result.

While we can’t typically offer ballpark figures at the outset because every home, site, and brief is truly unique, what we can offer is detailed, realistic pricing much earlier than most. Our approach helps you understand costs upfront, make confident choices, and get the most from your budget. Find out more about how our pricing works here
