Building Dreams with Style

What is Design & Build and how is this different to traditional building contracts?

Under a D&B contract the Contractor takes full responsibility for the design of the project incorporating this within their agreement to the client. Under a traditional contract the client will appoint their own architect and therefore the design responsibility, and with it risk, lies with the client and design team, not the contractor. Design & Build is an increasingly popular option for domestic client as it provides a complete turn key service by keeping design & construction under a single appointment saving the client time and money.

 Extending your current property to add value and create additional living spaces.

At New Image Design & Build we love adding value to a family home and revel in the challenge that comes with working on an existing property.

We will work with you to determine the objectives behind the build to ensure the greatest possible return on your investment.

A conversion remains the most cost-effective way to add space and value to an existing property, whether that be by adding a bedroom in the loft or converting the garage into a habitable space.

A conversion can often be quite intrusive as it usually involves working on a family home. At New Image Design & Build we have a dedicated in-house team of professional trades people who work solely on projects where the client will remain on site for the duration of the build. The ‘Occupied Property’ team as we call them, are experts in managing difficult logistical issues that come hand in hand with this type of build, and have measures in place to manage health & safety and client relations throughout.

The rise of open plan living has paved the way for a surge in minor remodelling and alteration works to existing homes to create larger kitchen/ dining areas allowing families to spend more time together. 

At New Image Design & Build we are experts in these type of minor works and by working closely with our trusted structural engineers we can help find the best solution to help maximise your existing space.

With our extensive team of third party designers, consultants and subcontractors, and not to mention experience in new build construction, our team at New Image Design & Build is well equipped to take on you’re new build project. 

We are happy working with private domestic clients on one off builds, or developers looking to build out a small local development, and believe our expertise will add value to any project.
