What is a design and build contractor?

A design and build (design-build) contractor delivers both the design and the construction of your project under a single contract. Instead of hiring an architect, an engineer, and a builder separately and coordinating them yourself, one accountable team handles design, permits, and construction end to end — which reduces finger-pointing, change orders, and delays.

Is design and build cheaper than hiring separately?

It is usually more cost-predictable. Because design and construction are handled by one team, the design is optimized for buildability and budget from day one, and you receive a fixed-price proposal rather than open-ended billing. You also save the cost and time of coordinating separate consultants who may blame each other when problems arise.

What does your design and build contract include?

A typical design-build engagement (Negros Oriental) covers architectural design, NSCP 2015-compliant structural design and analysis, MEP coordination, bill of quantities and cost estimate, building-permit documentation, in-house construction, and project turnover — all sealed by licensed professionals. Outside Negros Oriental, the same design scope applies, with remote construction oversight of your chosen local contractor in place of in-house construction.

How do I start a design and build project?

Send your project location, lot or floor area, number of storeys, intended use, and target budget through our inquiry form or Viber. A licensed engineer reviews it and replies with a ballpark estimate and next steps, usually within 24 hours. The initial consultation is free.

The difference

Why design & build beats hiring separately

The traditional route makes you the project manager — coordinating three parties who blame each other when something slips. Design-build collapses that into one accountable contract in Negros Oriental. Outside Negros Oriental, we still cut out the design/build coordination gap: one team designs your project and monitors the local contractor you hire, instead of an architect and engineer who disappear once drawings are handed over.

Traditional way: you personally coordinate the architect, engineer, permit consultant, contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, quantity surveyor and inspector — leading to finger-pointing, open-ended billing, and you managing the schedule yourself
