Design and construct brings agreed design and construction responsibilities together under one contract. Edina works with owners, developers, architects and project managers to coordinate design development, buildability, cost planning and construction delivery.
Our involvement, the responsibilities of design consultants and the pathway to approvals are defined at the outset. This gives clients a clearer basis for making decisions as the project develops.
COST CERTAINTY EARLIER
We price as the design develops, so you can make informed decisions before the budget is locked.
FASTER TO SITE
Design, approvals and early procurement run in parallel instead of in sequence.
SINGLE POINT OF RESPONSIBILITY
If something in the design and the build does not align, it is our job to resolve it, not yours.
BUILDABILITY BUILT IN
Builder input during design removes costly redesign, variations and delays later.
VALUE MANAGEMENT
We test materials, systems and details for the best result within your budget.
01. Initial project review
We discuss your objectives, site, budget and programme, and determine whether the opportunity is suitable for Edina.
02. Agreed preconstruction scope
Where appropriate, we establish a paid preconstruction agreement covering the required design coordination, buildability review, preliminary cost assessment and programme advice.
03. Design development and approvals
Planning, engineering, services and building permit documentation, managed by Edina.
04. Construction proposal and contract
Once the design and scope are sufficiently developed and project risks are assessed, we prepare a construction proposal and agree an appropriate contract form, price basis, responsibilities and conditions.
05. Construction and handover
Delivery, certification, Occupancy Permit and full handover documentation.
Already have an architect and an established design?
Edina can consider a novated design and construct arrangement where it suits the project.
Any transfer of design responsibility, consultant appointments and associated risks is assessed and agreed before contract execution.
