What is Design Build Construction?

Design build services offer a seamless project delivery method that combines interior design, architectural services, and construction into a single contract. This streamlined approach allows design and construction teams to align on a shared vision from the start, eliminating the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors and ensuring everyone is working toward the same goals.

Clients also play an integral role in the design build process. With a methodology that allows for complete customization, Basic Concept Interiors collaborates closely with each client to select materials, color palettes, finishes, and more, ensuring the final result reflects their unique style and needs.

The Design Build Construction Process

Design is the foundation of a successful project. Adding onto your home or business can be both thrilling and overwhelming. At Basic Concept Interiors, we believe that thoughtful planning and design are key to removing those concerns and ensuring a seamless project. Our team will address your project's challenges and reveal its full potential.

In the initial consultation, we’ll walk through your project vision together, discussing ideas on what would work best. This meeting is an opportunity for us to connect with you, understand your space, and get a deeper sense of your needs.

After our initial consultation, we’ll provide a letter of engagement which includes estimated construction costs based on square footage and professional fees such as architectural and engineering. Since many of our clients are new to design build services, this estimate will help you assess whether the remodel is a good fit for your home or business. 

We will continue with drawings and design documents once our clients approve our proposal and sign the letter of engagement. This allows us to assess your project's existing conditions and draft the floor plans. Typically, we go through one or two revisions to finalize the design for your project.

Once the final floor plans are complete, our team prepares a detailed scope of work along with the associated costs. The scope of work serves as the project contract and requires approval from the client before moving forward.

After the project scope is approved, we continue with a signed contract and deposit to reserve a place on our schedule. From there, we discuss the project duration so our clients have time to prepare. Typically, projects are scheduled out 3-4 months ahead of time.

Once all the planning and technicalities are taken care of, Basic Concept Interiors works with the municipality to complete any permits and revisions necessary. Then, we get down to business with our construction team, engineers, and architects to bring your project to life.
