A single team responsible for your renovation, from start to finish

Design-build is a simplified and efficient approach to construction where one team handles both the design and construction of your project. Instead of hiring an architect and a separate contractor, you work with a single entity—like Spotted Dog Construction—that manages the entire process from start to finish. This method creates a seamless experience, ensuring that everyone involved is on the same page, from the initial design concepts to the final touches on your project.

  • Clear communication

    With design-build, you have one main point of contact throughout the entire project. This eliminates the back-and-forth between separate designers and contractors, making communication smoother and helping to avoid misunderstandings.

  • Faster project completion

    Because our design and construction teams work together from the start, we can often begin construction before every detail of the design is finalized. This overlapping of tasks helps us complete your project faster, without compromising on quality.

  • Cost-effective

    Working with one integrated team means the design is created with your budget in mind, potential issues are caught early, and cost-saving opportunities are maximized. The design-build process also reduces the likelihood of unexpected changes and keeps the project within your budget.

  • Coordinated approach

    With Spotted Dog Construction overseeing both design and construction, we take full responsibility for delivering your project. This means fewer headaches for you and a smoother process overall. If any issues arise, you know exactly who to talk to, and we’re here to make things right.

  • High-quality results

    Since we’re responsible for both the creative design and the actual construction, our team is committed to ensuring that every detail meets your expectations. Our integrated approach leads to a more cohesive and polished final product.

  • Less risk for you

    By choosing design-build, you’re placing the complexities of your project in the hands of one trusted team. This reduces your risk and gives you peace of mind, knowing that we’re managing every aspect of your project with care.

  • Flexibility and customization

    We understand that your vision might evolve as the project progresses. The design-build process is flexible, allowing us to make adjustments along the way without causing major delays or disruptions.
