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.
