When it comes to building a new home, the custom design & build model offers unique advantages over piecing together separate architects, contractors, and vendors. At TFast Construction, we believe this integrated method leads to better outcomes, clearer communication, and higher satisfaction for homeowners in Brandon & surrounding areas. tfastconstruction.ca+1
What is Design & Build?
Design & build combines design (architecture, plans, engineering) and construction under one unified team or contract. Instead of the homeowner acting as a coordinator between architect and builder, TFast Construction manages both sides, aligning design and execution from day one. tfastconstruction.ca
Benefits of the Design & Build Model
- Streamlined Communication & Single Accountability
With one firm overseeing both design and construction, there’s no finger pointing between parties. You deal with a single point of contact who handles all coordination, decisions, and responsibility. - Cost & Time Efficiency
Because the design team works closely with the builders, fewer design changes, reworks, or surprises arise during construction. Projects move more smoothly and can often be delivered faster. - Value Engineering from the Start
As design ideas are generated, the build team weighs in on cost, materials, and constructability—helping optimize value without sacrificing aesthetics or function. - Design Consistency & Quality Control
The vision is preserved from concept through completion. The same team ensures materials, finishes, and details maintain harmony and quality. - Better Budget Control
Since the design and construction phases are integrated, cost estimates are more reliable. The risk of major overages is reduced.
How TFast Executes Custom Projects
At TFast Construction, we begin with in-depth consultation to capture your vision, needs, and budget. Our team crafts plans and proposals that clearly outline scope, timelines, and material choices. tfastconstruction.ca+1
During construction, we supervise every phase, ensuring adherence to design, local codes, and best practices. Whether building from ground up or integrating unique design elements, our craftsmen and subcontractors work under unified direction.
Common Considerations & Challenges
- Scope Clarity is Crucial – Before breaking ground, ensure design decisions are as final as possible to reduce changes.
- Permitting & Approvals – Local regulations, inspections, and engineering reviews must align with design.
- Contingencies & Unforeseen Conditions – Even the best plans may meet unexpected site conditions. A contingency budget is always wise
