Design + Construct: A Smarter Way to Build
Whether you’re planning a renovation, extension, or a brand-new custom home, choosing a design + construct service can simplify the entire process. At Linear Design + Construct, this is our most popular service—so much so that we named our business after it!
We love the design + construct model because it streamlines design, planning, and construction into one seamless, stress-free experience.
What is Design + Construct?
Design + construct is a project delivery method where a single entity—the design-builder—manages the entire process from concept to completion. Instead of hiring an architect or building designer first and then seeking a builder, design + construct means one team oversees your entire project.
At Linear Design + Construct, we collaborate with trusted professional consultants while remaining independent. This gives us the best of both worlds: strong working relationships with top-tier designers while ensuring each design is critically assessed for improvements that benefit our clients.
Our approach allows designers to focus on creativity while we ensure the design aligns with your budget, lifestyle, and construction feasibility. By continuously reviewing the design, we identify potential risks, improve buildability, and eliminate errors before construction begins.
The Benefits of Design + Construct
1. Stay Within Budget
One of the biggest pitfalls of the traditional design-bid-build approach is discovering—after investing time, money, and emotion—that the design far exceeds your budget. With design + construct, we provide real-time cost oversight, ensuring your design evolves within financial constraints.
2. Identify Risks Early
We assess potential approval risks as the design develops, allowing you to make informed decisions before finalizing plans. This helps prevent costly setbacks later in the process.
3. Maximise Cost Savings
With our expertise in cost-efficient construction, we suggest design alternatives or material substitutions that maintain quality while reducing expenses. Our knowledge of building costs ensures that creativity and affordability go hand in hand.
4. Minimise Variations and Delays
By collaborating throughout the design and approvals process, we reduce the likelihood of unexpected variations during construction. In contrast, the traditional approach often reveals design issues only after construction begins, leading to costly changes.
5. A Seamless, Stress-Free Process
When you choose design + construct, your design and construction teams work together from day one. This ensures a smooth transition from concept to completion, reducing errors, miscommunication, and unexpected costs.
With a single point of contact managing your entire project, you’ll experience a streamlined and stress-free building process.
