The Design-Build Process

From first meeting to final walkthrough — a clear, collaborative path to your finished project.

  • The Design-Build Process

    Every project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your vision, property, goals, budget, timeline, and site conditions. Having both an architect and a general contractor involved from the very first meeting means decisions are grounded in what's actually buildable — saving time and money before a single line is drawn.

  • Architectural Design & Planning

    Sheena leads the architectural design process — developing layouts, architectural drawings, design concepts, and permit documentation. Because the construction side of Michamae is part of the process from the start, every design reflects realistic construction methods and budgets, so there are no costly surprises when it's time to build.

  • Construction Budget & Planning

    Dylan develops detailed construction estimates, project timelines, subcontractor coordination plans, and material allowances. When the architect and contractor are working together throughout the design phase, the resulting budgets are more accurate — and unexpected costs are far less common.

  • Final Design & Construction Agreement

    Before construction begins, all final plans, construction scope, project timeline, and contract documents are completed and reviewed together. We don't break ground until every detail is agreed upon and the project is fully prepared to move forward.

  • Construction & Project Management

    Michamae manages every aspect of the build — subcontractor coordination, construction scheduling, site management, quality control, and regular communication with you throughout the project. You always know where things stand, and who to call.

  • Final Walkthrough & Completion

    At the end of every project, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to ensure quality, address any final details, and hand over complete documentation for materials and finishes. Your project isn't done until you're satisfied with every last detail.

Flexible Ways to Work With Us

Not every project requires the full design-build process. We meet clients where they are.

Construction Only

Build From Your Existing Drawings

Already have architectural drawings? Dylan and the Michamae construction team can take your plans and build them — bringing the same quality, communication, and project management to your project regardless of who designed it.

Why One Team Makes a Difference

  • Designs Built for Real Budgets

    Construction input during design prevents costly changes after the drawings are done.

  • Single Point of Contact

    No finger-pointing between architect and contractor — Michamae owns the full project.

  • Faster Decisions

    Architect and contractor already working together means faster answers and fewer delays.

  • Consistent Vision

    The team that designed your space is the team building it — nothing gets lost in translation.
