Design-build is a method of project delivery which one entity- the design-build team- works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion.
Investment
Operating on a cost-plus basis, we provide transparency, allowing us to prioritize your vision while delivering unmatched value. This approach ensures that every decision, from material selections to labor allocation, is made with your best interests in mind, balancing quality and efficiency without compromise. Creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
What This Means for You: Be upfront about your budget—whether you want to splurge on custom features or streamline square footage, we’ll tailor costs to your vision while prioritizing longevity.
Communication
Clear and professional communication is key to a smooth build. Please reach out via email admin@hawkinsdesignbuild.com at or phone calls—we don’t use texting, as it’s less effective for the detailed discussions your project deserves. Throughout construction we have regularly scheduled meetings in-office or on-site to walkthrough details and answer build questions with clients.

If you want to add to your project, we’ll discuss and agree on costs upfront, ensuring clarity and alignment before moving forward with any updates. Our transparent approach, backed by detailed records, keeps the process smooth and straightforward for everyone involved. We’re committed to adapting to your evolving vision while upholding our high standards.
What This Means for You: You have the flexibility to refine your vision, and we’ll handle any challenges with honesty and professionalism.
