1
Comprehensive Project Management
From concept to completion, every aspect of the project is managed in-house. This includes coordinating design, budgeting, scheduling, permitting, and construction oversight, eliminating the gaps and miscommunication that often occur between separate design and construction teams.
2
Integrated Architectural & Construction Services
Unlike traditional project delivery methods, Design + Build unites architects, engineers, and builders as a single team. This ensures that design concepts are developed with real-world construction methods in mind, reducing costly revisions and ensuring a streamlined workflow from design through execution.
3
Budgeting & Cost Analysis
One of the key advantages of Design + Build is cost transparency from the beginning. By involving builders early in the design phase, clients receive accurate cost estimates, material pricing, and value engineering options, ensuring that the project stays on budget without sacrificing quality.
4
Permitting & Regulatory Compliance
Navigating the complex permitting process in Los Angeles can be overwhelming. With an integrated team, Design + Build firms handle zoning approvals, entitlements, and permitting efficiently, ensuring compliance with local building codes, environmental regulations, and specialized restrictions such as hillside or coastal development requirements.
5
Streamlined Communication & Decision-Making
A single point of contact simplifies the entire process for the client. Architects, designers, and contractors work together under one contract, allowing for real-time problem-solving, faster decision-making, and a more cohesive execution of the design vision.
6
Material Procurement & Construction Efficiency
With a direct connection between the design and construction teams, materials are sourced strategically for cost efficiency and quality. This ensures that the build phase moves forward smoothly, avoiding delays caused by backorders or miscommunications about materials and finishes.
6
Quality Control & On-Site Oversight
With the architect and builder working in tandem, the project benefits from continuous oversight throughout construction. This ensures that design details are executed precisely, craftsmanship meets the highest standards, and the final result aligns perfectly with the client’s vision.
