Design & build industrial construction

Design & Build is a streamlined construction approach where JLC manages the entire process from concept to completion. This means you work with one experienced team responsible for design, pricing, construction, and delivery. It reduces complexity, shortens timelines, and provides a single point of accountability for your project.

Design & Build ensures your project is tailored to your operational needs while maintaining clear budget control. Key benefits include:
- Early cost certainty through transparent pricing and design coordination
- Reduced risk of design errors or delays between consultants
- Shorter overall delivery timeframe
- One point of contact for all communication and decision-making
- A collaborative team approach that aligns design, function, and buildability

JLC delivers a wide range of industrial and commercial buildings, including:
- Warehouses and logistics facilities
- Trade workshops and manufacturing spaces
- Office and warehouse combinations
- Storage and distribution hubs
- Light industrial units and multi-tenant developments

Our team has experience across both small-scale builds and complex multi-stage developments.

We begin each project with a detailed pre-construction process, aligning design and budget before construction starts. Our project management systems track progress and costs in real time, ensuring clear communication and early identification of any changes. By managing design, engineering, and construction under one umbrella, we eliminate common delays between design teams and builders.

Yes. We regularly collaborate with external architects and consultants. If you already have a design, we can review it for buildability and value-engineer it for cost and performance efficiency. Alternatively, we can manage the entire design process through our trusted network of designers and engineers.

Flexibility is part of our process. Any requested change is discussed transparently with revised cost and time implications before proceeding. Our goal is to deliver your desired outcome without compromising quality or project efficiency.

You’ll have a dedicated Project Manager who provides regular updates, progress photos, and milestone reports. Site meetings are scheduled at key stages to ensure you remain informed and confident throughout the project.

Our approach is personal, transparent, and outcomes-driven. We combine commercial capability with hands-on management, ensuring quality delivery with strong communication at every stage. We pride ourselves on building long-term partnerships and structures that stand the test of time.
