Incorporating the builder into the design process
We can also work with your preferred Designer from their concept and incorporate our buildability to refine the budget and then through documentation and on to construction. Incorporating a Builder early into the design process with your Architect or Designer will ensure cost efficiency. Collaborating from the very beginning ensure transparency with the Designer, Client and the Builder.
Thus from Concept to Completion, Kieran Gibson will personally guide you through each stage professionally and without ‘cost surprises’ to give you your unique custom home that you previously thought may have been beyond your reach.
