Kopman Build delivers design-build projects in Wexford — architecture, engineering, and construction managed under one contract. One team, one timeline, one budget from concept through completion.
The traditional model — hire an architect, then find a contractor — creates a gap in accountability. When the budget comes in over estimate, the architect blames the contractor. When the design can't be built as drawn, the contractor blames the architect. Design-build closes that gap.
Kopman Build manages architecture, structural engineering, mechanical coordination, and construction under one contract. In Wexford, this means your project has a single accountable party for cost, schedule, and quality from the first sketch to the final inspection.
We've worked across a Scarborough community with a village feel for 25 years. We know the permit process, the material suppliers, and the sub-trade ecosystem — which means fewer surprises and a smoother build on your Wexford property.

In the traditional model, you hire an architect to produce drawings, then go to market to find a contractor. This creates a gap: the architect isn't accountable for construction cost, and the contractor isn't accountable for the design. Design-build puts both under one contract — one team manages design and construction, with one budget and one accountability.
Yes, typically 15–25% faster. Because design and construction are managed by the same team, construction can begin on early phases while later phases are still being designed. There's also no re-tendering when drawings are complete — the contractor is already engaged and pricing is continuous.
Not necessarily. Design-build fees are typically comparable to hiring an architect plus a general contractor separately. The difference is you get cost certainty earlier in the process — design decisions are evaluated against real construction costs as they're made, not after the fact.
Yes — Wexford is a market we serve actively. Our design-build team is familiar with a Scarborough community with a village feel zoning requirements, permit processes, and the specific characteristics of the housing stock. Contact us to discuss your project.
