Design + Build

For clients who want a seamless, guided process from first walkthrough to final completion.
Some clients don’t just want advice — they want a partner who can carry the project from concept to ribbon-cutting.
This end-to-end service brings together the feasibility expertise of Jeff Davies and the full construction capabilities of Construction Theory, giving you one accountable team to manage every step.
From the first walkthrough to the final punch list, you’ll have a clear plan, consistent communication, and no gaps between design intent and field execution.
Initial Feasibility Consultation and Site Analysis
Every partnership begins with a deep understanding of the space.
We evaluate existing conditions, building systems, and site logistics to uncover opportunities and potential challenges early.
This ensures design decisions are based on real-world data — not assumptions that can derail the budget later.
Outcome: A clear picture of what’s possible, where the constraints are, and how to plan around them.
Concept Development, Layout Planning, and Budgeting
We translate your vision into a conceptual layout that balances aesthetics, function, and code compliance.
Early sketches and digital layouts are paired with rough budgets to confirm alignment between design ambition and financial reality.
This phase often includes multiple iterations so stakeholders can visualize options and make informed trade-offs before moving into full design.
Outcome: A clearly defined concept with an approved layout and realistic cost framework.
Full Services through Construction Theory’s In-House Studio
Once the concept is approved, our in-house design team aligns you with the correct architectural firm to refine every detail — from architectural plans to finishes and fixtures.
We develop cohesive material palettes, lighting strategies, millwork concepts, and interior elevations that reflect your brand and operational goals.
Our designers collaborate closely with your team to ensure every decision enhances both form and function.
Outcome: Permit-ready drawings, finish selections, and presentation materials that bring your concept to life
Coordination with Architects, Engineers
We handle the technical coordination so you don’t have to.
Construction Theory oversees the engagement of architects, structural, MEP, and civil engineers as needed, ensuring all disciplines align with the approved concept.
We also manage communication with permitting authorities, fire marshals, and inspectors — keeping your project compliant and moving forward smoothly.
Outcome: A fully coordinated set of documents ready for permit submittal and construction.
Recommendations for Architects and Design Coordination
Once your concept is validated, Jeff connects you with the right design professionals for your next step — architects, engineers, or interior designers that align with your project type and budget.
He can also coordinate introductions or remain involved to keep the design phase practical and on budget.
The goal is to hand you a roadmap that moves smoothly from test-fit to final drawings without wasted time or rework.
Detailed Construction Proposal and Timeline
Once design is finalized, we provide a comprehensive, transparent proposal outlining scope, allowances, inclusions, and schedule.
Every major category is itemized so you understand exactly where costs are allocated and how decisions affect the budget.
The construction timeline includes critical milestones from mobilization to final inspections.
Outcome: A clear path to completion with predictable costs and realistic timing.
Project Management Through Build Completion
During construction, our project managers handle daily coordination, subcontractor scheduling, and quality control.
Regular site meetings and updates ensure transparency, with progress photos and weekly summaries sent to your team.
Our goal is simple: deliver a finished product that meets design intent, budget, and timeline — without surprises.
Outcome: A turnkey space ready for occupancy, delivered by a single accountable partner.
