What is a design-build firm?
Construction companies provide architectural, contractor and construction services under a single roof. Design - Construction. The firm has an integrated design-build process from initial design to the estimate to building the project with an aim to providing the client with a smoother experience and to enhance client relationships with the firm as an entire. Because all work is undertaken by a firm, the design and building company can overlap both the construction and the design stages of the project, usually speeding up the project considerably. Aside from reducing risks, the firm works through single-point contracting on a single project with a single partner.

Traditional project delivery

Design-Build isn't new
Master Builders built world-renowned buildings through a century of practice and innovation. Throughout this period modernity gave us silos and specialties that created a “us vs ” environment which pitted project team players against one another resulting in delay overruns and lawsuits. Design building is more convenient.
“We worked with KDB on a major renovation of our home in Santa Monica when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Despite all the obstacles, Asaf and his team completed our renovation on time and on budget. We couldn't be happier with their work and the beautiful results.”
Jen A., Santa Monica, CA"Asaf and his team are more than a pleasure to work with! They can troubleshoot anything and are extremely professional and responsive. I was able to complete a gut renovation from across the country with minimal stress and a lot of comfort. Asaf took time out of his weekends, evenings and personal time to make sure that we were on the same page and communicated regularly. This is never seen in the world of renovations! He truly is one of a kind. I trust him wholeheartedly. I am now working with him on an office renovation and excited to be working with him again. Every friend I have referred to Asaf has been more than thrilled with his work. Asaf and his team are knowledgeable, thorough, and always do what they say they will do. I cannot recommend him enough!"
