Design & Build
We are proud to be one of the most reliable Design and Build contractors in the UK, specializing in turning your ideas into reality, taking them from concept to detailed plans and ultimately transforming them into bricks and mortar.
WHAT WE DO
Design and Build is central to LCC’s philosophy and one of our core services. Over the past 10 years, we’ve continuously refined and improved our services. Our diverse team brings together expertise in interiors, architecture, and construction, allowing us to deliver a seamless, concept-to-completion experience.
We specialise in creating outstanding business and living spaces, thoughtfully designed and expertly constructed to meet your specific needs. Every project is tailored to align with your style, budget, and unique business identity.
As both designer and builder, we take full responsibility for the entire process. We don’t just create designs and leave it to a contractor to figure out the details—we are the contractor. That’s why everything we design is grounded in practical feasibility and realistic cost considerations.
WHY CHOOSE LCC FOR DESIGN & BUILD?
Seamless Integration
We align every aspect of design and construction, fostering a smooth, stress-free experience.
Clear Communication
Our single-point-of-contact approach ensures all stakeholders collaborate effectively, eliminating miscommunication and delays.
Efficiency and Quality
With continuous cost evaluation and design feasibility checks, we deliver efficient results without compromising on quality.
THE LCC ADVANTAGE
Unlike traditional models that fragment responsibility and add unnecessary complexity, our Design & Build method takes full ownership of communication, coordination, and administration—eliminating duplication of fees, reducing project timelines, and ensuring a single, cohesive team works seamlessly toward your vision. Please have a look below to see the difference.
Traditional
In the traditional model, clients bear the responsibility for communication, coordination, contracts, and administrative tasks.
This approach introduces multiple layers of cost, complexity, and conflicting objectives, often without a fixed point of contact or a clear line of communication. Designs frequently change without real-time cost evaluation or consideration of the buildability of the proposed scheme. As a result, this method can lead to delays, unforeseen expenses, miscommunication, and a construction process that is more stressful, costly, and time-consuming to complete.
Design and Build
LCC takes full responsibility for communication, coordination, contracts, and administrative tasks. By providing a single, clear point of contact, we eliminate duplication of fees and save valuable time. All stakeholders communicate through this centralised point, supported by a well-structured channel of communication between the client and LCC. Throughout the process, market costs and design feasibility are continuously integrated into the design, ensuring all parties collaborate effectively towards a shared goal.
