Explore common questions about G2 Design & Build to enhance your understanding and decision-making.
What is design and Build?
A single contract where one company handles both the design and construction of your project, providing a seamless service from initial concept to completion.
Why should I choose a design and build contractor for my Passivhaus project?
G2 specialises in Passivhaus construction with proven expertise in ultra-low energy buildings. We understand the technical requirements and deliver projects that meet strict Passivhaus & Low Energy standards while managing the entire process under one roof.
Is design and build more expensive?
No, design and build is typically more cost-effective. All services are rated at 0% VAT under a design and build contract, whereas employing a design team directly means 20% VAT applies to all design and pre-construction services. Even with a preferred architect, we can employ them under our contract, and you still save 20% VAT on the design phase.
What are the benefits of design and build?
Single point of responsibility with streamlined communication, faster delivery, better cost control, reduced risk of disputes between designer and contractor, and potential VAT savings on design services.
