If you’re starting a building project, you’ve probably heard terms like “design-only” or “design-and-build.” But what do they really mean?

Design refers to the planning phase: architectural drawings, space layouts, 3D visualizations, and regulatory approvals.

Build is the physical execution—laying the foundation, raising the structure, finishing interiors, and completing the project.

Why does the distinction matter?

• Clarity: You know what you’re paying for.

• Quality: A well-designed project built by others can still fail if the execution is poor.

• Control: Combining both services under one firm ensures your vision is preserved from paper to project.

At Modeling Spaces, we offer both: you can hire us for just the design or let us handle everything from concept to completion.
