What is design and build construction?

Design and build is a construction approach where the contractor carries out all the work, from design to construction, as well as finishing work.Design and build provides a single source of accountability for the customer, as we, as the builder and project managers, are responsible for all the building work and trades on the project. A single company handles all phases of the building contracts in design and build, such as subcontractors, equipment manufacturers and suppliers of materials, and ensures that the project is carried out and finished in compliance with the client’s terms and conditions.Artista’s Design and Build Construction process produces high-quality new builds, refurbishments, extensions and conversions for a wide variety of clients in East Sussex.

What are the advantages of design and build construction?

Potential Cost Savings

Our design-build system reduces overall project costs because since our experts understand strategies that can be implemented to reduce construction costs, hence developing a less expensive design to build.

Quicker Delivery

Our designs and structures are completed efficiently as every step of the construction work is carried out according to the timeline for the project. This means that there are fewer or no delays regarding the completion of the project.

Higher Quality

Typically, the owners work closely with the design-builder to ensure that the project meets their expectations. This relationship ensures fewer communication gaps between customer and contractor, and fewer construction delays. The end result is a structure that meets and beats customer expectations.

Reduced Administrative Burden

The design-build process can also reduce the owner’s administration costs as all aspects of the project will be carried out by one construction company, with just one application, a contract award and a project contract to be administered.

Property refurbishment

Don’t like where you live?  Is there something in your home you would like to change or remove?  Or would you like to add a kitchen, extra bathrooms, a room in the basement or give your home an entirely new look?

Home renovation begins with the Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction design team. We will provide you with a realistic representation of our plan, as well as full technical documentation and a comprehensive quote.

So, whether you need a transformed space, a property redesign or an expansion, our Artista design-build team, with years of professional experience and in-depth knowledge of all building businesses, is here for you.

Extensions

Adding an extension to a house is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners seeking to maximise space. With fees and stamp duties to remember as well as the uncertainty involved with buying a new house and constantly rising property values, an extension can be seen as a more economical choice.

If you’re looking to expand, upgrade, or change your home structurally, the Artista design and construction team is here to assist you.

From garage extensions to conservatories, orangeries, porches, single-storey extension, two-storey extension, multi-storey extension and basement extensions to loft conversions, kitchen extension, bathroom extension, bedroom and living quarters extension, you can count on us to handle every stage of the project in a timely and professional manner. You can count on our design-build team to exceed your expectations from the initial meeting to the designs, getting the relevant approval, building and handing over.

Conservatories/ orangeries

While it might seem like a daunting task to design and build a conservatory–it doesn’t have to be. At Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction, we have the design and build team in place to manage the conservatory project from start to finish.

Our design-build service allows both conventional and contemporary conservatories to be built, resulting in a beautiful addition to any house. Whether you are updating a modern house or expanding a period home, Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Constructions will provide the same quality.

No matter what design requirements or look you want to achieve, our overall goal is to leave you with a well-designed conservatory that you can appreciate for years to come. It is equally important to create a seamless link between the interior of your home and the outdoor spaces we all appreciate.

FAQ’s

What does design and construction “design/build” mean?
A build project, also known as a single source or design/ build, is a project implementation method in which one entity, a design and build team, works with the homeowner to provide comprehensive design and construction services.

Design-build is an alternative to design-bid-build, in which the design and construction phases of a building construction or a remodelling project are divided, and separate contractors perform separate work on the basis of separate contracts.

Is Design-Build Construction the best option for my project?
Design and build can be used in a wide range of construction projects and in different industries.

The scope of the project ranges from small residential buildings to large public schools and urban renewal. At Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction, we offer design and build services to individual and commercial clients in Brighton.

What is design-build vs design bid build?
In the design and build method, the owner often involves one entity, the design-builder, to design and build under one contract. The design-bid-build is the most traditional process in the construction industry, in which the owner signs a separate contract with the designer and contractor.
Is design-build more expensive?
In many cases, design-building is, in reality, more cost-effective than conventional project execution. This is because the budget for the project is established early in the process and managed continually through a fully collaborative process.
What are the potential disadvantages for the owner?
Design build requires discipline on the part of the project owner or client to make decisions early in the process and create the framework for delivering a successful project. Customers who want to be involved in the detailed planning and the entire construction process will have difficulties adjusting to the design-build system.
Who actually performs the work?
We have every resource you need to make your dream come true.

In our 10 years of stellar construction services in Brighton, we have been successful, thanks to our team of professionals. From architectural planning to the builders and contractors who carry out the construction, we are your only source for experts and a single point of contact for every detail.

Can you help with the design, plans, and permits for my project?
Every detail and task of your project is carried out and managed by members of your team at Artista Design/ Build. Architectural design, blueprints, permits and all planning permission are among the services we offer. We are a full-service construction company that plans, designs and builds almost all types of residential and construction projects.
What does design-bid-build mean?
Design-bid-build, also known as a design tender, a traditional method or a hard bid, is a project delivery method in which the agency or owner signs separate contracts to plan and build a project.
How do you determine project costs?
We work closely with you to understand your project requirements and set priorities for your design. We will then set up a cost estimate for your project. With this estimate, you can weigh both your design requirements and finishing, taking into account your budget.
How much will it cost?
We will assist you in drawing up a pocket-friendly budget. In fact, early in our talks, we will come up with a tentative budget estimate since we would like you to have the best return on investment.
How can I choose the best design and build company in Brighton?
If you are building your house from scratch, you should hire a company that has specialises in new buildings and extensions, not conversions. You will work very closely with your contractor for a few months, it is therefore essential to select a qualified person or company with whom you can work honestly and comfortably.

Also make sure that they offer you a detailed and clear work scope with a detailed price list. A time frame is also recommended to manage expectations. All change orders must be signed in writing before the scope of work is changed. All work must be carried out according to plan unless you request a revision.

Remember that hiring an unlicensed contractor is illegal. Therefore, check whether your contractor has an active licence and employee compensation (if he has employees).

At Clifton Hill and Montpelier Builders & Construction, we have all state and national planning and building permits as well as numerous industry certifications. We are also fully insured.
