Why We Believe in the Design-Build Model at LIDA Construction
At LIDA Construction, we understand how overwhelming it can be to coordinate designers, architects, and builders on a residential project. That’s why, for over 35 years, we’ve championed a better approach: design-build construction. This model simplifies the entire process by bringing all services under one roof—one team, one contract, and a seamless experience from concept to completion.
Since 1998, we’ve been using this model to deliver high-quality custom homes and renovations throughout Greater Victoria. Our in-house team handles every phase of construction, allowing clients to stay focused on their vision while we manage the details.

Start your custom home or renovation project with confidence. Contact LIDA Construction today to experience the seamless design-build process trusted across Victoria.
What Makes the Design-Build Model So Effective?
One Team, One Point of Contact
Instead of hiring a separate designer and contractor—and hoping they stay aligned—our clients work with a single integrated team. With one point of contact throughout the journey, communication is clear, timelines are shorter, and results are stronger.
Budget and Timeline Clarity
We begin the budgeting process early, during the design phase. With detailed estimates and real-time tracking, our clients get full transparency into costs and schedules, reducing uncertainty and helping projects stay on track.
How LIDA Construction Executes the Design-Build Approach
Seamless Collaboration
Our designers, estimators, project managers, and builders collaborate from day one. This synergy ensures fewer revisions, faster turnaround times, and buildable plans that reflect both creativity and practicality.
For Custom Homes and Renovations
Whether you’re building a brand-new home or modernizing a heritage property, our design-build process ensures quality, efficiency, and consistency at every stage.
Personalized and Transparent Process
We offer an online client portal that provides 24/7 access to your schedule, budget, design selections, and photo updates—keeping you fully informed, without the stress.
Each project includes a dedicated project manager and interior design consultant, ensuring that the final result truly reflects your personal style, needs, and budget.
