One of the primary causes of projects exceeding their budget as they progress is a lack of alignment between the home’s designers and the eventual builders. In traditional and project building processes, the project moves from one department to another, typically involving handoffs from sales to a designer or architect, then to interior design, compliance and planning, and finally to a quantity surveyor (QS) and a builder. These multiple handoffs not only lead to errors and delays but can also result in significant discrepancies between expectations and execution, often requiring rework and redesign.

At Nautilus Concept, we take a holistic approach to your project from the very beginning. You will work collaboratively with a comprehensive team comprising compliance and town planners, architects, interior designers, estimators, drafting experts, and construction personnel. Throughout the design phase, we provide updated pricing based on real projects currently being built, ensuring accuracy and completeness. Our interior designers work in close collaboration with our architects to deliver your design brief, and you will have a dedicated Project Manager who coordinates both our team and you, the client, while concurrently managing much of the planning and approvals process.

By integrating construction and building professionals into the design phase, we can employ value engineering techniques to optimize the design before approvals are obtained, thereby eliminating most potential issues and ensuring a smooth and trouble-free build.
