Why Choose Design-Build for Your Next Project in Sussex?

When you’re planning a home extension, renovation, or new build, there’s a lot to consider – and one of the most important decisions is how you want the project delivered.

So why are more people in Sussex choosing design-build for their homes? Simple: it saves time, reduces stress, and can even save you money.

What Is Design-Build?

Traditionally, projects are split in two: you hire an architect to design, and then find a separate builder to carry out the work. This can lead to delays, miscommunication, and unexpected costs.

With design-build, everything is handled by one expert team – from the initial drawings to the final finishes. At STAAC, our architects and construction team work hand-in-hand to bring your vision to life, smoothly and efficiently.

At STAAC, we offer a design and build service that’s becoming the go-to choice for homeowners across Sussex – from Brighton and Hove to Crawley, Eastbourne, and beyond.

How Design-Build Saves Time, Money, and Stress

1. One Team, One Vision

From day one, everyone is working together. This means fewer surprises, better results, and a clearer focus on your goals.

2. Save Up to 8% on Costs

Here’s a big one: choosing STAAC’s design and build service can help you save up to 8% compared to the traditional route. That’s because we streamline everything, cut out duplication, and keep tighter control over the budget.

3. Faster Completion

With both design and construction happening under one roof, your project moves faster. We make decisions quicker, reduce delays, and get you into your finished space sooner.

4. Simplified Communication

You won’t be juggling different contacts or chasing updates. We keep you informed at every stage, while managing all the details behind the scenes.

5. Designed for Sussex Living

We know Sussex. Whether it’s a coastal extension in Shoreham, a countryside home in Horsham, or a renovation in Lewes, our team understands the character, planning nuances, and materials that work best for this region.

Why Design-Build Is More Affordable

One of the biggest advantages of choosing STAAC’s design and build service is the clear cost savings and better value you get throughout your project.

Here’s how:

• Save Up to 8% on Costs
• Our streamlined approach eliminates the disconnect between architects and builders. With better coordination and less duplication, clients typically save up to 8% compared to the traditional design-tender-build route.
• Realistic Budgets from the Start
• Because our designers and builders work together from the beginning, your design is built around your budget – no nasty surprises or costly redesigns later on.
• More Value for Money
• We optimise both the design and the construction to get the best results within your price range. That means smarter use of space, materials, and labour.
• Fewer Costly Delays
• Avoid delays that push up your final spend. Our integrated process keeps everything moving smoothly and avoids the time (and cost) lost between separate parties.
• Better Planning, Lower Risk
• With one team handling both sides of the project, risks are reduced and accountability is clearer – giving you greater peace of mind and financial control.
