DESIGN-BUILD
One Partner. One Vision.
Unlimited Possibilities.
At Matukat, we believe your project deserves more than just construction — it deserves care. Our Design–Build approach gives you a single, trusted partner for everything, fusing design, engineering, budgeting, and construction with transparency and craftsmanship. No hidden steps. No surprises.
Single Point of Responsibility
You work with one team that owns everything: design, permitting, build, finishes.
Why Choose Design-Build
Aligned Budget & Vision Upfront
We design with your budget in mind from the get-go, so what you picture is what you pay for.
Faster, Smoother
Timeline
Design and build happen in coordination, so delays from handoffs are minimized.
Better Quality,
With Care
We control more of the process, which means attention to detail, safety, and excellence stay high.
Our Design-Build Path (How It Works)
Discovery & Visioning
We begin with your dreams:
what you value, your style, what matters most (function, look, sustainability, etc.).
Site visit / evaluation. Budget range conversation. What are your non-negotiables?
Permitting & Detailed Plans
Finalize all drawings needed (architectural, structural, MEP if applicable).
Submit for permits. Handle drawings, engineering sign-offs, site prep planning.
Final Review & Handover
Punch list with you. Quality check: finishes, systems, safety, clean-up.
Handover keys. We make sure you’re satisfied before “done.”
Concept & Schematic Design
We sketch layouts, develop a schematic design: floor plan, general form, major materials.
Early cost estimate based on those concepts so you can see trade-offs (e.g. material choices, square footage).
Pre-Construction Planning
Final selections (materials & finishes). Schedule meetings. Confirm budget.
Clear communication plan: site walk-through cadence, update method, safety & site expectations.
Warranty & Beyond
We stand by what we build. Any issues? We address them.
Your peace of mind is part of our promise.
Design & Value Engineering
Refine designs; finishes, features, structure to ensure integrity, safety, and purpose.
Adjust design as needed to align with your budget & timeline (value engineering, material alternatives, etc.).
Construction
Site preparation → foundation → framing → systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) → interior finishes.
Regular on-site check-ins with you. Photos, walk-throughs. Safety protocols in place.
What’s In-House & What We Partner On
In-House
Initial design/conceptual sketches
Budgeting and material sourcing
Project Management, construction supvervision
Value engineering & safety oversight
External Experts (Where Needed)
Specialized engineering (structural, site/civil, mechanical systems)
Permit & regulatory consultants (if required by region)
Specialty trades (high-end custom metalwork, custom art features, etc.)
How It Integrates with Our Residential & Commercial Paths
If you already have plans (residential or commercial), we can still apply our Design-Build mindset:
cost review, value engineering, single-team execution.If you're starting from scratch, we take you through the full Design-Build path.
Either way, the same core values apply: integrity, safety, craftsmanship, people-first.
Phase
Timeline & Budget Expectations
Discovery → Concept / Schematic Design
Design Development
& Permits
4-10 Weeks (depending on complexity, approvals)
Construction
Estimated Duration*
2-4 Weeks
Varies widely a couple months to years depending on residential vs. commercial projects
* Exact schedule depends on project size, site conditions, permitting, design complexity, and your availability for decisions.
And for budget:
We aim for transparent, realistic quotes.
We’ll show cost drivers so you can make informed decisions.
You’ll see trade-offs: what differences material, finishes, square footage make.
-
Yes. We collaborate. Design-Build is flexible.
-
We love custom work. We’ll budget so you know what they cost.
-
We’ll review with you and manage change orders in a structured way (cost+timing) to minimize surprises.
-
Regular inspections, qualified crews, safety protocols, and a Matukat site overseer on every job.
