    Design-Build questions, answered

    What is design-build?

    One company handles design, permitting, and construction under a single contract. You work with one team instead of hiring an architect and a builder separately.

    Do you draw the blueprints in-house?

    Yes. Our drawings, permits, and construction are handled under one roof, so the plans are priced and buildable from day one.

    Is design-build more expensive?

    Usually the opposite. Because the people pricing the job help shape the design, you avoid paying for plans that come back over budget and need redrawing.

    What projects do you handle design-build?

    Home renovations, additions, kitchens, baths, decks, and custom pools across Delaware County, the Main Line, and Philadelphia.
