We can work it out
The success of any residential home build depends on the design and construction working well together. If there is no dialogue between architect, designers and builders, changes due to things nobody thought of, or that fell through the cracks, may leave you frustrated and unpleasantly out of pocket.
What’s the solution? Get the architect and builder working together from start to finish. As a team, we can work it out and through careful planning upfront, we can eliminate or minimise variations and their costs.
Collaboration is the foundation of a fantastic new home.
The pros of design & build
We’re experienced builders and we can be involved from the start, making the building process smoother and more efficient.
Our years in the trade will ensure all designs and specifications meet your requirements and budget, as well as all New Zealand building codes.
Unlike many of clients, we’ve built houses before, so make the most of our expertise, advice, and complete start to finish design & build service. We’ll make your building process easier and more cost effective.
Managed building
Building a new home is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most of us. It should be among your most exciting undertakings. You need to make sure you get what you really want and make the most of your money
That’s where we come in. A design & build project with DBS Residential means there is a single point for project quality, costing and timelines. We will work with you so that not only will you understand what IS included in your building design, you will also understand what IS NOT included.
We will coordinate all the architectural, engineering and council work as well as all the various tradies. That’s better for you because you do not have the hassle and organisational responsibilities. Financial risk is also reduced because one team is responsible for the overall success of the project: DBS Residential.

The ins and outs of design & build
We’ll be there to work with you, to share your vision and develop tailor made design and build solutions. You’ll initially meet with Dan at your site to discuss your building project. We’ll establish what you dream house is to be, what your budget is and advise on considerations and decisions that you’ll need to make. We will also discuss site implications, council planning rules and submission, design stages, external tradies needed.
The stages of design include preliminary concept design with our architectural team, and an initial pricing guide before we move on to the final concept design, pricing, resource consent application costs and building consent application costs.
Communication is the key to any successful project, so during the build we will organise weekly site visits with you and take care of the paperwork.
