Design And Build
After many years of experience working on a diverse range of projects, we are excited to now offer our expertise alongside innovative ideas to create truly unique homes. With our years of experience in both small-scale and large-scale builds, we’ve gained invaluable insight into what works best for each type of project. Whether it’s a high-end extension, a complete refurbishment, or an entirely new build, our team now brings a fresh, forward-thinking approach to every job.
We are passionate about blending tried-and-tested construction techniques with innovative design concepts, ensuring that each project reflects modern trends while maintaining timeless appeal. Our collaboration with Markland Ball Homes Architects further enhances this, combining their creative design flair with our building expertise to bring cutting-edge ideas to life. From the smallest home enhancements to the grandest new builds, we’re committed to delivering exceptional results that exceed expectations and stand the test of time.
Welcome to our Design and Build Process
At Hallmark Contractors, we believe in making your dream home a reality. Our design and build process is structured to ensure a smooth journey from initial concept to finished project, with your vision and needs at the heart of everything we do. Here’s an overview of how the process works:
Initial Consultation
The process begins with a one-on-one consultation where we take the time to understand your aims, aspirations, and vision for your home. Whether you're looking for a renovation, extension, or a completely new build, we will listen closely to your ideas, discuss your preferences, and explore your goals for the project. This is the foundation of our work, and we’ll use this meeting to align on key details and requirements.
Budget Estimate
Based on the initial consultation, we will provide you with a budget estimate for the project. At this early stage, the figure will be a range, as there are numerous variables that could impact the final cost. The design process involves many decisions and refinements, and the budget will evolve as these elements take shape. To secure your build spot and move forward with the project, we require a deposit, typically between 5-10%, depending on the budget estimate. This ensures that we can begin planning and reserving your project timeline.
Design Development
Once the project brief is established and the budget range is provided, we begin the design phase. Our expert design team will collaborate with you to create a bespoke plan that meets your needs and aligns with your vision. This is a dynamic stage where ideas are refined, layouts are considered, and design concepts come to life. To help you visualize your dream home more clearly, we create virtual 3D models of your project. These 3D models allow you to see exactly what your new home will look like, helping you make informed decisions about design elements and layout before the build begins. As the design progresses, we will continuously update you on how the costs are developing to ensure the project stays within your budget.
Cost Refinement
As the design takes shape, we begin refining the costs. The more specific we get with materials, finishes, and construction details, the clearer the final price becomes. Throughout this phase, we’ll work closely with you to ensure the design is practical, achievable, and within your financial scope.
Final Design & Pricing
Once the design is complete and you’re happy with the plans, we provide a final, detailed price for the project. At this stage, all elements of the design have been carefully considered, and the costs are fully refined, giving you clarity on the total cost before work begins.
Construction
With the design finalised and budget set, we move into the construction phase. Our team will manage every aspect of the build, ensuring that your project is completed to the highest standards, on time, and within budget. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way, ensuring a smooth transition from vision to reality.
At every stage of the design and build process, our goal is to provide you with transparent communication, expert guidance, and a beautiful, functional home. Our team is committed to turning your dreams into a lasting, well-built reality. Reach out to us today to start your journey
