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.”
Refresh Renovations West & Central Auckland
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.”
Japan Homes Limited
Design and Construction Companies
11 November 2019
“Japan Homes Limited is the perfect builder for us, after checking on to different builders we find them the most approachable, honest, and the best to deal with. From design to build process, everything was smooth and hassle free. They build our dream home in 6 months as promised, within the budget as agreed, and helped us with the garden and landscaping design which we really loved. Thank you Mickey and team for your hard work.”
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.”
Refresh Renovations Wellington Steve Wang
Design and Construction Companies
6 August 2019
“Steve did a great job of coordinating everything. Always easy to contact and quick to fix any issues. He organised the various contractors in a timely practical manner. The project was finished to my timeline provided at the beginning.”

“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.”
Duncan Building Architectural & Construction

15 May 2017
“Selena is an awesome architectural designer, she is a pleasure to work with, she has an easy going nature and is very reliable. Most importantly her designs skills are amazing, she did such a good job with our house (still in-progress).”
Modbox
Design and Construction Companies
11 July 2019
“As soon as we found Modbox there was not a chance we would go through anyone else to build our home. The team are down to earth, understood our ideas and let us do it our way while guiding us 100% to get the project off the ground and just as importantly to get it finished. Now we are living in our Modbox we wouldn't change a thing, the house has been warm through a Central Otago winter using only one heat pump and holds it's warmth overnight. We love the design quirks that make a Modbox uniquely what it is.”
Fogden Builders Limited
Design and Construction Companies
28 May 2018
“We found Fogden Builders to be friendly, dedicated and reliable. They listened to what we wanted and did their best to meet our needs, even when we changed our minds. Their attention to detail is of a very high standard. We would definitely recommend Fogden Builders to anyone who was looking to build or renovate.”

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!
