Design and Build Construction in Nepal
One team, one contract, from first sketch to handover. KSM Services delivers architecture, engineering, and construction together — for lower cost, shorter timelines, and single accountability.
Design-build is how KSM Services has worked since 2015. Instead of hiring an architect and a contractor separately and mediating between them, you sign one contract with a single team that owns both the design and the construction. In practice that means the architectural design is cost-checked as it develops, the construction follows drawings our own team prepared, and there is no gap for a dispute to fall into when site conditions differ from the plan.
What we do
Understanding the Design-Build Approach
Design-Build is a streamlined project delivery method where a single entity handles both the design and construction aspects of a project. Unlike traditional approaches that separate the roles of designer and contractor, design-build integrates them, fostering collaboration, reducing costs, shortening timelines, and ensuring accountability from start to finish.

Common Questions
Design and Build in Nepal:
FAQ
What is the difference between design-build and hiring an architect and contractor separately?
In the traditional route you sign one contract with an architect and a separate contract with a contractor, and you sit between them when drawings and site reality don't match. In design-build, one firm — KSM Services — is responsible for both, so coordination, cost control, and accountability sit in one place.
Is design-build cheaper?
It usually works out lower in total cost because the design is cost-checked against buildability as it develops, change orders during construction are fewer, and the timeline is shorter. You also get a transparent Bill of Quantities before construction starts rather than open-ended billing.
Can I bring my own design to KSM for construction only?
Yes. We take on construction-only and construction-management projects for designs prepared elsewhere, after a drawing review and a site assessment.
