Alpha 1 Builders
Design & Construction Firms
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 September 2025
“We engaged Alpha 1 Builders to undertake a significant (complete) overhaul of our 1920's bungalow and extension in Mt Albert. Alpha 1 impressed us from our first meeting. Paul was attentive and friendly and struck us as being genuinely interested in working with us to get the best outcome. As part of his pricing he demonstrated his attention to detail, eking out dozens of details we hadn’t even considered, and bringing through many of his proposed local subtrades to help with accurate pricing and giving us a chance to meet the team. The whole team are a very easy bunch of guys to like. They all care about what they do. Paul is very quality focussed and wants to ensure great outcomes. Very open and down to earth – easy to communicate with. We loved working with Foreman Mike as well. Got to know him well over the project and enjoyed all interactions. We loved how the guys are always looking for ways to do things smarter or achieve better outcomes. This ranged from material substitutions (architects often spec the “best” items) such as painted shiplap pine rather than cedar to save $$$ and require less maintenance, to details on interfaces that were overlooked on plans and required early discussion while there was opportunity for modification/clarification. They don’t just ‘do’, they think about what they are trying to achieve. Overall, we were very impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail, particularly with the finishing touches. We would happily recommend to anyone looking for a quality outcome from guys who care about your project as much as you do! Katherine & Paul”

Lucy G Printed Image Splashbacks
Design & Construction Firms
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 November 2022
“I recently purchased a splash back from Lucy for our newly renovated kitchen. I knew as soon as I saw it on her website that I wanted it. Dealing with Lucy has been super easy and we received the splash back less than 2 weeks after paying our deposit. I love it even more than I did from the picture on the website, it just looks so much better in real life, if that is at all possible. It finishes our kitchen off perfectly. Thank you Lucy for your gorgeous design.”

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!
