Benefits of a design and construct contract with RGE

Cost savings from the outset

Our contracts combine both the design and construction stages under one agreed quote. Clear lump sum pricing helps to set accurate budgets and reduce the risk of unexpected expenses.

Efficient project delivery

With engineering and building services managed together, key stages can overlap. From initial design to final handover, this integration prevents unnecessary delays and accelerates construction project delivery.

One point of responsibility

RGE manages both design and construction phases, removing the need to coordinate multiple contractors. As one contractor assumes responsibility, this approach minimises disputes and ensures clear communication throughout your project.

Integrated expertise

Our engineers and construction teams work together to ensure designs are buildable, efficient, and fully compliant with Australian Standards. The result is a smoother process, superior risk management and stronger project outcomes.

Our streamlined design and construction process

1. Consultation & site assessment

We start by working with you to define the project’s objectives, budgets, and timelines. Our team then carries out a thorough site assessment to understand ground conditions, risks, and opportunities before design begins.

2. Detailed design development

Our engineers develop concept designs that are practical, efficient, and tailored to each project’s requirements while meeting Australian Standards. Through close collaboration, these preliminary designs are refined into detailed documentation with clear specifications and approvals.

3. Site mobilisation & construction

Once the final design is approved, our construction team gets to work on-site. We will manage all stages of delivery, from ground preparation and piling to structural works.

4. Quality assurance & project completion

Throughout the build, we carry out strict design quality control and testing. On completion, the project is reviewed against the agreed scope before handover.

FAQs

What is a design and construct contract?

contractor manages both the engineering and the build.

Instead of hiring separate engineers and builders, the client works with a single team that takes responsibility from the first drawings through to project completion.

By bringing both services under one contract, this approach reduces risk, speeds up delivery, and ensures the design and construction work hand in hand.
