Design I Build

Our services range from an initial analysis of our clients’ needs, the development of a design, and obtaining building permits, to managing the construction process from execution to completion, and finally to the provision of follow-up services. This integrated customer support is known as “Design | Build”; SYNCinc acts as the sole project contact for our clients. Consequently, our clients can rely on our team to coordinate all services and tasks during the design and construction phases.

Design | Build allows for the accurate and consistent compliance with projected building costs through close cooperation between designer and builders. After progressively calculating and updating the cost estimate throughout the planning phase, budget overruns are avoided through selective measures of cost adjustments for the whole duration of the construction process. This concept of integral customer support also includes transparent pricing of our services, which are packaged as clearly defined modules. Fees are calculated individually for every project according to the specific needs of our clients.

These all-inclusive services define SYNCinc as a leader in the field of customer service among Austria’s architects.
