Avoid costly delays and redesigns with our expert team managing every phase of your project under one roof
Managing separate design and construction teams often leads to miscommunication, costly redesigns, and extended project timelines.
Gardo Group’s integrated Design and Build service eliminates these challenges by bringing architectural design and construction under one roof.
From first site visit to handover, Chris and Hannah work alongside you. Whether you bring your own architect or use Hannah's in-house design. Chris manages the build, planning, and consents while Hannah keeps design and construction aligned. Small team, hands-on the whole way.
Chris and Hannah meet with you on-site to discuss your vision and review your plans. If you have your own architect, we ensure a collaborative approach, working closely with them to understand your design. If you don’t have an architect, Hannah is available to provide in-house architectural design services tailored to your needs.
If you’re working with Hannah, she’ll create a bespoke design that embodies your vision, while Chris provides practical insights to ensure buildability and cost-efficiency. If you’re bringing your own architect, Chris coordinates to align the construction approach with the design intent, ensuring a smooth integration between design and build.
We handle all necessary approvals and consent applications. Chris manages the construction planning and ensures everything is set for a seamless build, working in close coordination with either your architect or Hannah, depending on your chosen path.
Chris leads the construction phase, with a strong emphasis on quality and attention to detail. Hannah remains involved, either as your chosen designer or by collaborating with your architect to make adjustments if needed. Our small, agile team ensures personalised service and a smooth experience throughout the build.
We finish by walking you through your new home, addressing any final details and ensuring your satisfaction. Whether you worked with Hannah or your own architect, our commitment to quality and personalised support continues long after you’ve moved in.
