Our Design-Build Process

Every By Design Construction project starts with understanding what you want to accomplish, what the property can support, and what makes sense for your budget. From there, we move through planning and construction with the major decisions made in the right order.

1 Consult

Understand the Project

We start with your goals, the property, your priorities, and your budget. Before jumping into design, we want to understand what you are trying to solve and what needs to be evaluated first.

2 Plan

Plan It Properly

This is where we work through feasibility, design, consultants, engineering, selections, permitting, and pre-construction decisions. The goal is to resolve as much as possible before construction starts.

3 Build

Build With a Clear Precision

Once the project is ready to move forward, By Design manages construction and coordinates the work required to bring the plan to life. You stay informed throughout the build, with decisions grounded in the scope and priorities established up front.

Sharmani Pillay

We recently had our home renovated by Bobby and his team at By Design Construction and we couldn't be happier with the results. The cabinets are gorgeous, and the tiling and flooring were expertly done.

Baltej Singh Dhillon

The company was a pleasure to work with.Work was completed in a timely fashion and we couldn't be more happier with the outcome. It increased not only the value of our home but made it more usable and added curb appeal. Bobby is very knowledgeable and there are no hidden surprises. He consulted with us on cost and ideas throughout the entire process, that worked within our budget.

Bobby managed the project with great insight and care, overseeing all aspects of the project making it stress free for us. We were appreciative of the care Bobby took, and how he paid attention to the details and areas that we had no expertise in , always providing guidance by citing other projects, allowing us to better understand the details of the project.

We would definitely recommend this company for any project, and have leaned on Bobby on advice and support on a number of projects.
