Featured Reviews for Design and Construction Companies

Refresh Renovations Wellington Lia Boersma
Design and Construction Companies
29 October 2019
“The completely non stressful way to do renovations. Get Refresh! Lia and her team did a great job on our ensuite - just what I wanted. This is the second time I have used Refresh - the first time involved a cost effective solution to our garage and parking issues. It is fantastic. Refresh listens and comes up with a solution based on the customer's needs and budget. Would highly recommend.”
Macreadie Builders

10 September 2019
“Macreadie Builders are high-end and reliable building service providers. We have worked with Macreadie Builders on a number of projects and have found them professional, clear and easy to work with. The team are a great bunch with a wealth of building knowledge between them. Every site we visit, the team are always enthusiastic about the project and aim to ensure all aspects of the build are looked after and carried out with exceptional attention to detail from beginning to end. We highly recommend Macreadie Builders to fellow trade professionals and potential prospect clients.”
Refresh Renovations West Auckland Dominic Hollands
Design and Construction Companies
25 September 2018
“We had our entire house remodeled by the team at DJH Renovations. The transformation was more than we hoped for and it felt like stepping back into a new house. Like any big project there were some up and downs but the DJH Renovation team got everything sorted and up to a great standard. Special thanks to Rebecca for her amazing organizational skills, Dominic for managing the process and the council, Dan the builder and team for all their hard work and attention to detail, Austin for the best tiling work I have ever seen and Ian for keeping the electrics safe and running during the renovation.”
Refresh Renovations Tauranga Cameron Ironside
Design and Construction Companies
3 April 2019
“Great job on my bathroom renovation. Every contractor who worked on the project was respectful, hard working and professional. Project did run over schedule slightly but was well worth the time. Every stage was made easy with the planning done by Cameron, and I feel he really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Would recommend to friends and use again if ever needed.”
Lucy G Printed Image Splashbacks
Design and Construction Companies
18 May 2014
“We are thrilled with our printed splashback in our kitchen and are so pleased we chose to work with Lucy for this. We selected an image of Lucy's that we particularly liked - a beautiful beach scape in Auckland - but we wanted to make it more generic and less identifiable as an Auckland scene, as we live in the Bay of Plenty. So after supplying us with a number of options, Lucy removed Mt Rangitoto from the background. The end result is flawless. The pohutukawa flowers in the foreground of the image are crimson and punchy, and match the other red accents in our kitchen, while the beach in the background is more subtle and muted. We are so pleased with the end result. Lucy was extremely easy to work with and had a very quick turn around on the project. We have already recommended her to many.”
Kevler Homes
Design and Construction Companies
1 May 2018
“We engaged Yellow River construction to build our new home, from the concept plan to completion, Ricky was very honest and his professionalism guided us through the whole process. Passers by often admired and praised the quality finishes! We have no hesitation recommend to anyone who are looking to build with Yellow River construction.”

“MCAS has been working with Anthony from Smith and Sons Renovations & Extensions Port Hills on a number of residential alterations. We have recommended him to a client of ours for a house renovation and extension.

Lifemark

23 March 2016
“I am a member of Lifemark and they are great to work with. The system does make sense and it should be in every household. We worked with Lifemark on our Harakeke Design: Tiny 1 and Tiny 2, the team helped us to improve it to the Lifemark standards. Hope we see more new properties with Lifemark Standards in there.”

What does a design and construction company do?


When building or renovating, people often turn to architects to kick off their project. However, a different model is becoming more popular with homeowners: design and construction, also known as design-build. Instead of hiring and dividing tasks between various professionals – e.g. architects, builders and carpenters – you can hire a design and construction firm to cover your entire project, from the initial sketches through to construction.

Companies that can carry out both design and construction take on the combined responsibilities of an architect, draftsman, construction company and additional contractors, providing one point of contact for homeowners. Having one entity responsible for the entire design and build, from estimation to subcontracting and even post-construction, streamlines and often speeds up the project significantly. Having a unified project team can also help you avoid unforeseen costs and delays in construction. In addition, the homeowner only has to interpret one contract with the design and construction firm, and not with various architectural design and contracting professionals. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want.

Should I do my own project management?


Project management demands time, skills and an eye for both detail and efficiency. While many homeowners choose to manage their own projects, they can often regret their decision once the build or home improvement project is complete. Locating, hiring and eventually paying every contractor who enters the site takes time and expertise. From certifiers to roofers, and even your draftsman, a company that can undertake design and construction benefits from having all of these home professionals under one roof, saving you time and stress in the process!
