Design Build

Commercial Design-Build Construction Company One Team, One Contract

Lifestyle Development Group is a design-build construction company: design, engineering, permitting, and construction under one contract. One team owns your budget and your schedule, from first concept through final delivery.

Single Point of Accountability

Faster Project Delivery

Improved Budget Predictability

Reduced Project Risk

Integrated Planning & Construction

What Design-Build Means

One Team. One Process. One Point of Accountability.

What is design-build? One firm handles both design and construction under a single contract. Instead of mediating between an architect and a contractor, you work with one team that designs the building, prices it, and builds it. Decisions happen earlier, conflicts surface sooner, and one company answers for the result.

01

Planning

The project starts with goals, site needs, budget direction, and delivery expectations.

02

Design Coordination

Architecture, engineering, and design direction are aligned with construction realities early.

03

Budget Alignment

Cost considerations are introduced earlier, reducing disconnect between vision and feasibility.

04

Construction

The same integrated process carries the project into execution and delivery.

Benefits of Design-Build

Why Clients Choose a Design-Build Construction Company

Design-build works because no information is lost between separate firms. The people pricing the project work alongside the people designing it. In Southwest Florida, that is how permitting, budget, and schedule stay on one track instead of drifting apart.

Single Point of Accountability

One integrated team helps reduce confusion and disconnected responsibility.

Faster Delivery

Permitting and procurement begin while design is finalized. Phases overlap instead of running in sequence.

Better Cost Visibility

Budget conversations happen earlier, helping improve predictability and decision-making.

Stronger Collaboration

Designers, engineers, estimators, and construction professionals work together earlier in the process.

Reduced Project Risk

Conflicts are caught on paper, where they cost a revision. In the field, they cost a change order.

Design-Build Process

From Concept to Completion Through One Integrated Process

01

Discovery & Project Goals

LDG learns about the project, site, use case, timeline, budget direction, and objectives.

02

Early Planning & Feasibility

Site constraints, flood zone, utilities, zoning, and realistic cost range are checked up front, while the answer can still be no.

03

Design & Engineering Coordination

Design, architecture, engineering, and construction input are aligned earlier in the process.

04

Budgeting, Permitting & Procurement

Permits advance through Collier County, Lee County, or the jurisdiction your site requires while long-lead materials are ordered. The two tracks run in parallel.

05

Construction & Delivery

LDG manages construction execution through the integrated project delivery model.

Integrated Design Process

Full-Service Design Coordination From Concept Through Construction

Designs by Kimberly Renee drives LDG's design-build process as a full-service design and planning division, moving commercial clients from early vision to buildable execution with clarity and control.

LDG aligns architectural direction, interior design, engineering coordination, site planning, permitting, construction documents, renderings, selections, and pre-construction planning into one coordinated process before construction begins, cutting fragmented communication and unnecessary handoffs.

Planning & Design

Architectural design coordination, interior design, space planning, site planning, and land development planning.

Technical Coordination

Structural engineering coordination, civil engineering coordination, MEP engineering coordination, and land surveying coordination.

Documents & Approvals

Construction documents, permitting coordination, government coordination, and pre-construction planning.

Selections & Visualization

3D renderings, finish and material selections, and value engineering.

Why LDG for Design-Build

Integrated Delivery Backed by Commercial Construction Experience

Alignment From Day One

Budget and buildability shape the design starting with the earliest conversations.

Fewer Disconnected Handoffs

Clients avoid managing separate teams that may not be aligned around the same goals, budget, or timeline.

Constructability Awareness

Florida realities are built into the drawings, not discovered during construction: wind-load requirements, impact glazing, and storm-season scheduling.

Better Control Over Complexity

Design-build gives owners a clearer path through decisions, communication, coordination, and delivery.
