Design and Build sits at the heart of the W1 Design ethos and has been a core part of our service offering since 2013. Over the years, we’ve refined and expanded our capabilities to deliver a fully integrated solution—bringing together expertise in architecture, interior design, and construction under one roof.
We create beautifully designed spaces that are thoughtfully planned and expertly built to meet the demands of modern living. Every project is personalised to reflect your individual style, priorities, and budget—while showcasing your unique personality and creative flair.
Unlike traditional models where designers hand over to external contractors, we take full responsibility for the entire process—from concept through to completion. As both designer and builder, we ensure each element is not only creatively ambitious but also practically feasible and cost-conscious from the outset.
Traditional Model
The conventional architectural approach can involve multiple consultants, conflicting priorities, and fragmented communication. With no single point of contact, projects often suffer from budget overruns, miscommunication, and delays due to a lack of real-time cost feedback and buildability insight.
Design & Build Model
Our integrated model simplifies the entire process. With one point of contact and a unified team, we ensure clear communication, greater efficiency, and better cost control. Continuous collaboration across disciplines keeps the design aligned with practical constraints and budget expectations—minimising risk and maximising value.
Traditional architectural models typically charge 12–15% of the build cost in design fees alone. Our Design and Build method significantly reduces this, as architectural costs are incurred only during pre-construction. This approach allows for up to 50% savings on design fees, while ongoing design input during construction is included at no additional charge.
Because we are responsible for both design and delivery, it is in our interest to ensure the scheme is well-priced, practical, and beautifully executed. Unlike traditional practices, where rising construction costs can lead to higher architectural fees, our incentive is to keep your project on budget—without sacrificing design integrity.
Our Design & Build process brings your vision to life, efficiently, creatively, and without the stress. By managing every step under one roof, we deliver beautifully designed spaces with seamless execution and full accountability.
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, brand, and space requirements. This helps us shape a clear brief that aligns with your vision and budget.
Our in-house Interior Design and Architectural teams collaborate to create functional, inspiring concepts. From mood boards to technical drawings, every detail is considered.
We handle all planning approvals, compliance checks, and construction documentation—so you don’t have to. We ensure your project meets all legal and safety standards.
Our experienced Construction and Fit Out teams take over, delivering high-quality craftsmanship with minimal disruption. Timelines are managed, progress is transparent, and quality is guaranteed.
