For Architects & Designers

Your design.
Built the way you drew it.

The best projects we build start with a great architect. Here is exactly how we work when we are on your team, in writing, before you ever refer a client.

Our Commitments

Four promises we make to your practice.

We build your drawings

Your design intent survives our jobsite. We execute plan sets with precision and speed, flag conflicts early and in writing, and bring you solutions instead of substitutions.

Honest numbers, early

We bid against your client's real budget, not under it to win the job. We estimate high on purpose, so the number your client hears from us is one we can beat, not one we grow.

Your client stays yours

Weekly walkthroughs and written progress reports keep your client informed through us, never around you. When the ribbon gets cut, the story is about your design.

Preconstruction that earns its keep

Constructability reviews, value engineering that respects the design, and pricing at schematic, DD, and CD milestones so nobody falls in love with an unbuildable number.

On Every Project

What your client gets when you bring us in.

  • Dedicated superintendents on every project, named before contract

  • Weekly written progress reports with photos, shared with you and the client

  • Line-item transparent budgets at every design milestone

  • Structural craft: steel, big glass, cantilevers, vaulted spans

  • Specialty rooms in-house: conditioned wine cellars, golf simulators, gyms, theaters

  • Published cost ranges your clients have already seen at bijoubuilds.com/cost

Have a project that deserves better bids?

Send the plan set. We will give you a straight read on constructability and cost, and you can judge us on that before any client is involved.
