Building Design that Fulfills Your Vision

Londot Design Build Floor Plan

We at Londot Design Build take great pride in our building design services. We build relationships with our design clients based on open communication and mutual respect to ensure the finished product represents their vision — whether we’re selected to construct the design or not.

The Londot process helps building design clients make the long series of complex and difficult decisions required. The generational quality residential or commercial space you want is within your grasp with the help of our master designers.

Londot presents unique ideas to clients in whatever design medium works best for them. We strive for accuracy and efficiency in all our designs, scaled to work for the project at hand and the client’s budget.

"We knew when purchasing our home that we wanted to add something special; something to stand out from other new-construction homes in our Gentilly neighborhood while potentially raising the value of our home. Having a usable space that felt like it expanded the square footage of the livable area of the home was also very important to us. Londot Design Build helped achieve those goals from start to finish. In planning, they assisted with picking out materials that were within our budget but also met our aesthetic dreams. Their team helped us imagine the perfect shed and patio that we wanted, and the end result is a structure that we use presently (practically every day) that has potential to be converted into a fully functioning guest cottage in the future with minimal effort."

Londot’s Building Design Process

Londot tailors the design process to the client, using the method that best suits their needs. That being said, our building design projects do go through the same broad steps as other Londot projects.

Step 1: Connect

The first step is at the bottom of this page. Schedule an initial consultation, and you’ll speak to one of our design experts. We try to find common ground that we can build a foundation on.

Step 2: Scope of Work

With a collaborative vision of what your new space will look like, we turn to practical matters. We home in on exactly what format and man-hours we’ll need to bring your building design to reality.

Step 3: Design

With the details set, we sign the building design contract. Earlier teamwork pays off here as everyone at the table knows precisely what we’ll deliver, when and at what budget.

Step 4: Contract

Our experts get to work on your design. We create permit-ready plans in a format-friendly manner, accurate to your vision and budget.

Step 5: Construction

If you decide to engage Londot as your builder, we’ll get to work procuring the permits and materials and set our master craftsmen to work on your new space.

Format and Type to Fit Your Needs

The deliverables of building design projects can vary a lot from client to client. We can deliver in 2D paper drawings or pdfs. Our experts can also create 3D renderings or CAD files. Whether you need permit-ready designs or you just want options for a rough draft, Londot Design Build is here for you.

Some of our projects may require more detail than others. Some may be limited to stick to the client’s budget. We customize our deliverables around client needs. Our expert designers can handle a wide variety of projects, including:

A Shared Building Design Vision

Our process requires nonstop communication. We craft a compelling concept of your house or business that marries the functions you need with a form you love.

We focus on sharing a vision because it’s critical to client satisfaction. We care about your ideas as much as you do, and we aim to see them fulfilled. When you sign on with Londot for building design, you become the most critical part of our team.

Our best work happens when clients participate in every step. We know that great spaces come from using a client’s goals as the foundation for every project. When buildings reflect their creators, they fit perfectly into the larger context of the community around them, enriching everyone.

Accurate, Efficient Designs

Londot Design Build is known for is dynamic building designs. A critical part of designing powerful structures is keeping what’s possible in mind.

We at Londot have a keen understanding of the budgeting process and how important designs are in it. We know where cost overruns are possible and take preventative measures where we can. Because blowing budgets doesn’t help anyone; we don’t make more money on a blown budget, and our clients aren’t happy when it happens.

We design buildings to coordinate our clients’ style with their budget. We are forward-looking and proactive in the budgeting process, always putting critical decisions about scope and costs in front of our clients as early as possible.

By designing buildings around an accurate budgeting process, we find realistic paths for achieving our clients’ dreams.

Scaling to Needs

We’re never out to upsell anyone in through our designs. First, we never take for granted that we’ll be constructing a job. We hope to earn our clients’ business, but if the design is the only role we’re playing in a job, we’re happy to help.

But we also know that building beyond a client’s scope doesn’t pay off in the long run. Eventually, the truth will come to light, and the community has a way of finding out when a designer goes too elaborate or expensive to fill their own portfolios or pocketbooks.

In fact, we often find ourselves working backward from needs. Rather than start with design features in mind that we assume a client will love, we delve into the features they need most and work on the form backward from there.

This often leads to discovering opportunities to cut down on project costs and timelines. Sure, we can make more money designing and building a room that has a bay window rather than one that doesn’t. But if you’re not using it to open up a cramped room, provide seating for a reading nook or to display decorations, then there’s not much point in having one. We try to keep our clients from making those kinds of mistakes.
