Design-Build & General Construction

The traditional split — design on one side, construction on the other — puts the homeowner in the middle, translating between parties who can each blame the other when something goes wrong. Design-build closes that gap. When the people who drew it are accountable for building it, decisions made on paper are made with construction in mind, and the person responsible does not change halfway through.

What design-build covers

• Full design-build — architecture and design carried straight through to construction under one process.
• General construction and construction coordination — managing trades, schedule, materials, and site work to the drawings.
• Structural and engineering coordination — bringing the required consultants in and keeping their work aligned with the design.
• A single point of contact — one team accountable for the result, start to finish.

Why it tends to work better

Fewer handoffs mean fewer things fall through the cracks. Budget and buildability are considered while the design is still flexible, not discovered after it is locked. And when a question comes up mid-build — and one always does — there is no argument about whose problem it is.

A note on scope

These are design-build and general construction services. Construction in California is regulated, and the specific licensing details for a given project are confirmed directly with Kevin before work begins.
