Conceptual Building Design

From Sketch to Schematic

From Sketch to Schematic

Conceptual Building Design is a process that starts with an initial idea and propels a project forward. We often begin with a starting point as simple as a "napkin sketch" to initiate a dialog, which then pushes the rough concept toward a schematic layout.

At KDW, we prefer Live-Design programming with our clients in the room. This allows us to design from the inside-out using what we call Lego-Blocks to represent the various departments, components and future growth. This arrangement helps us to solidify the size of the structure and study the process flows. It's important to remember that we handle the Conceptual Building Design completely in-house, so that it remains an integrated part of your larger project.

We could not have picked a better partner, to help us in establishing a productive plant in SW Houston. KDW met with us several times, to develop an understanding of our needs. Once understood, they incorporated our proven program with their local knowledge of Municipality, available Materials, Sub Contractors, and other Project Management Guidance.

KDW built our new shop addition. They helped me with the Design and planning of the build. They did a wonderful job from the beginning to the end. I would highly recommend KDW and Rolf for any construction needs. They are a top notch company and I am proud to tell people who built our building and very proud of our new shop.

KDW has worked with us on two of our facilities, and we have been more than pleased both times. Their expertise in building for companies in the manufacturing industry resulted in facilities that were optimized for our purposes, resulting in smart layouts and highly-efficient spaces. When it comes to customer service, KDW has been affordable, personable, and timely. We highly recommend KDW for your company’s design/building projects.

Working with KDW to build our state of the art High Bay/Heavy Lift Fabrication Shop was nothing short of pleasurable and professional.  Their knowledge of construction techniques is amazing and every sub-contractor that was used did impeccable work. We could not have chosen a more competent General Contractor on our million dollar expansion project.
