Design and Build Integration
Design and Build Integration
Abacus Contractors Design Services (Abacus CDS) bridges the gap between the drawing board and the building site. By embedding our structural engineers within your design-and-build team from day one, we make sure the engineering intent translates seamlessly into construction reality - saving time, reducing rework, and safeguarding budgets.
Why Design & Build Integration Matters
When design decisions are made in isolation, site teams often face costly surprises. Our integrated approach eliminates that disconnect, giving contractors, developers, and architects a single point of coordination for:
Buildability assurance - details that work first time on site
Programme certainty - fewer RFIs, smoother sequencing
Cost confidence - value-driven solutions identified early
Safer delivery - temporary works and permanent works considered together
Our Collaborative Process
Early Contractor Involvement
We sit alongside your project managers and site supervisors to understand logistics, phasing, and commercial goals.
Integrated Digital Models
BIM coordination highlights clashes long before materials arrive on site, ensuring every component fits.
Design Reviews on Site
Regular walk-throughs with foremen and package contractors translate drawings into practical steps.
Sectors We Support
Design and Build Integration
Residential towers, commercial office refurbishments, façade retention schemes, and complex mixed-use developments - our team has delivered integrated solutions for projects throughout London, the South East, and nationwide.
Benefits for Your Project Team
Design and Build Integration
Contract managers appreciate fewer design variations; site supervisors value clearer sequencing; quantity surveyors welcome programme confidence; and end-users gain a building delivered on time and on budget.
