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, a 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.

Where in the Philippines does Aedo Construction work?

Full design-build — where Aedo handles design and self-performs the construction — is currently available in Negros Oriental, our home base. Nationwide (Metro Manila, Makati, Davao, Cebu, Angeles/Pampanga, Cavite, Tarlac, Samar, Zamboanga, and beyond), we provide complete architectural, structural, electrical and plumbing design plus remote construction oversight — you hire the on-site contractor, and we design the project and monitor construction quality, cost, and schedule. We confirm the right arrangement for your location during the free consultation.

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 1-3 business days. 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.
