Design & Construct


One contract, one point of responsibility. We manage the consultants, the approvals and the build, so you deal with one builder.

Design and construct builder

Three generations reviewing every decision.

Thompson Commercial delivers design and construct across the Sunshine Coast and South-East Queensland for commercial, industrial and multi-residential projects, with design management handled in-house and transparent cost planning from first concept to final account.

Your site and requirements meet our early cost plan, we drive the consultants toward a design that meets brief and budget, and a guaranteed price and programme is committed before construction starts. One builder accountable for design coordination, cost and handover. Have a site and a rough brief? That is all D&C needs to start.

Asked often
What do I need to start a D&C project?

A site and a rough brief. We take it from there with an early cost plan, a design team and a locked price before construction starts.

Who carries the design risk?

We do. Under a D&C contract Thompson Commercial is accountable for design coordination, cost and handover, so there is no design-versus-builder blame game.

Can you work with my own architect?

Yes. Your consultants can be novated to us under the D&C contract, or we engage our own team. Either way the design is reviewed for buildability at every step.
