Before a Design and Build contract is signed, contractors typically deliver proposals through a multi-stage process:

  1. Initial Consultation: The contractor meets with the client to understand project requirements, goals, and budget constraints.
    Feasibility Study: The contractor conducts a feasibility study to assess the project’s viability, considering technical, financial, and regulatory aspects.
  2. Conceptual Design: Based on the initial discussions and feasibility study, the contractor develops a conceptual design and presents it to the client for feedback.
  3. Detailed Proposal: Once the conceptual design is approved, the contractor creates a detailed proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, cost estimates, and specific terms and conditions.
  4. Client Review: The client reviews the proposal and may negotiate terms or request modifications.
  5. Final Agreement: Upon mutual agreement, the contractor and client finalise the terms and sign the Design and Build contract, formalising the commitment to proceed with the project based on the agreed-upon proposal.

Design-build services encompass various approaches to streamline construction projects. Some common types include:

  1. Traditional Design-Build: A single entity manages design and construction, ensuring a seamless process.
  2. Design-Bid-Build: A sequential approach where design is completed before seeking bids for construction.
  3. Turnkey Design-Build: The provider handles the entire project, from concept to completion, delivering a ready-to-use facility.
  4. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD): Collaborative approach involving multiple stakeholders working together throughout the project life cycle.
    Construction
  5. Management at Risk (CMAR): A construction manager is involved early in the design phase, assuming responsibility for project risks.
  6. Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT): The entity designing and building also operates the facility before transferring it to the owner.
  7. Public-Private Partnership (PPP or P3): Collaboration between a public entity and a private company for design, construction, and often long-term operation.
The full form of DBO contract is “Design, Build, Operate.” In a DBO contract, a single entity is responsible for the design, construction, and subsequent operation of a facility or infrastructure project. This approach is often used in public-private partnerships and other long-term projects where the entity not only constructs the project but also assumes responsibility for its ongoing operation and maintenance.

To design and build floor-to-ceiling cabinets:

  1. Start by measuring and planning the space.
  2. Choose quality materials, create a detailed design, and gather the necessary tools.
  3. Construct cabinet frames, add shelves and dividers, and then craft or purchase doors with hinges.
  4. Finish and paint the cabinets to match your aesthetic.
  5. Install them securely, ensuring level alignment.
  6. Add hardware for functionality and make final adjustments for a polished look.

You can create functional and visually pleasing floor-to-ceiling cabinets for your space with precision and attention to detail.

what our client say ?

HONEST REVIEW! I have recently just had work completed by the team at Mia James Construction and I can honestly say how impressed myself and my husband are, from the initial contact to the end they have been amazing. All the work carried out is impeccable, workmen on time everyday, always kept me updated each day with the process and cleaned up at the end of everyday and every little detail was thought out and nothing forgotten. We will most definitely work with James and the team again for our future projects and will 1000% recommend to anyone. Thankyou so much to you all for everything and look forward to working with you again soon.

Rachel Gannon

Great team from top to bottom. Been in the industry over 20 years and couldn’t fault them. Easy for people to write bad reviews when things go wrong but it’s a pleasure to write about Mia Janes and the guys. Truly professional and experts at their trade.

Nick Threadgold

I have worked with Mia James Construction on a number of projects and the quality of their work is excellent. They have helped me on a number of occasions and have a fantastic team of leads who clean up after themselves each day which is refreshing to see. Keep up the good work guys and see you on the next project.

Ahmed Choudhry

James and the team did a double storey extension at the back and side of our house in Cheadle Hulme. It’s a shame builders and construction companies have a bad name but it’s really unfair on guys like these. Couldn’t fault them from start to finish.

Thank you for your support in helping us buy our house and carry out the work, we know it has only come about with some considerable time and effort from yourself.

Bav Woodford

Thank you for the afterhours business meetings, your flexibility around my busy schedule is one of the reasons we choose Mia James to build our dream home.

Michelle Cheadle Hulme

I can only compare Mia James’s finish and workmanship to a time I spent in Germany, the attention to detail and engineering are like nothing I have seen in the UK before.
