In-House Design Department: Bringing Your Vision to Realty
- On Time and On Budget

At KDW, our In-House Design Department is a cornerstone of our integrated Design-Build approach, setting us apart. By uniting design and construction under one roof, we deliver a seamless, efficient experience that saves both time and money.

Our design process begins with in-depth programming, asking the right questions early on to fully understand your goals and requirements. With both our design and construction teams collaborating from the start, we can quickly align the conceptual design with your budget and vision.

Unlike conventional methods, we don’t allow design development to move forward in isolation. Instead, our approach ensures that design and budget evolve together, with real-time collaboration and value engineering throughout the preconstruction phase.
This keeps you engaged, informed, and in control.

The result is a smarter use of resources to ensure a design that stays on budget without compromising quality and streamlines the schedule. Ultimately, our in-house capabilities mean we can move from concept to construction faster and more efficiently.

Highest Commitment to Safety
