Design & Build / Turnkey Projects
Core service
Our integrated design-and-build service brings design, costing, procurement and construction under one coordinated team. You deal with a single point of responsibility from the initial concept through to project completion, which means fewer handovers, clearer accountability and a programme that is planned as a whole.
Engineering-led design that keeps buildings safe, durable and economical. We analyse and design structures of all sizes from house foundations to multi-storey reinforced concrete frames and structural steel and provide inspections and engineering reports.
We build residential and commercial developments with proper supervision, quality workmanship and appropriate material selection including new houses, double-storey homes, multi-storey buildings, offices, institutional buildings, renovations and extensions.
From first ideas to a full set of drawings, we design buildings that work for how you live or operate and that can be built on budget. 3D visualisations help you see the result before construction starts.
Independent, engineering-led oversight that keeps projects on programme and to specification. We coordinate contractors, monitor materials and quality, and report progress clearly ideal for clients who cannot be on site every day.
Know what your project will cost before you commit. We prepare Bills of Quantities, project estimates and material schedules from your drawings, so you can budget, compare quotations and plan procurement with confidence.
Site development and external works carried out to engineering standards from bulk earthworks and drainage to access roads, retaining structures and concrete works.
Design and construction of the water and sanitation infrastructure that developments depend on, including water and sewer reticulation, drainage systems and irrigation.
We procure and source construction and finishing materials for our projects and for clients, including international sourcing where it offers better value or quality.
