Design & build
The team that draws your project prices it from its own bill of quantities and builds it, so responsibility never changes hands between the first sketch and the keys.
NoVi Designs & Finishing is a design and build company: one coordinated team connecting design, technical development, execution and handover. You sign one contract for the drawings, the engineering, the site works and the furniture, and you deal with one party accountable for all of it.
The model scales from a single villa to community buildings: we are the design and build contractor for The Marquee, a 1,500-seat events venue in Taj City, New Cairo, and for the Kinda Community Center on the same development. Quality is managed under ISO 9001:2015, from our offices in Cairo and Riyadh.

03Design & Build
| Design & build | Separate designer + contractor | |
|---|---|---|
| Responsibility | One party answers for drawings and site | Each side can blame the other for one defect |
| Pricing | Priced from the designers' own BOQ | Re-measured and re-priced; variations appear later |
| Programme | Design, procurement and site works overlap under one plan | Tendering adds a gap between design and build |
| Your time | One point of contact and one progress report | You coordinate the parties yourself |

In Egypt, turnkey contracts usually start from a developer handover in New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, the New Administrative Capital or the North Coast; see design and build in Egypt. In Saudi Arabia they start from a villa received as a structure or a commercial unit in Riyadh; see design and build in Saudi Arabia. UAE clients are served from both offices.

Questions
Straight answers to what clients ask us before a site survey. Not covered here? Ask the team directly.
Ask the teamIt takes both halves of a project under one contract: design (layouts, 3D, MEP coordination, shop drawings, BOQ) and delivery (procurement, site works, inspections, handover). You approve one scope, one price and one programme.
Not usually, compared like for like. A separate contractor prices someone else's drawings, adds risk and claims variations for gaps. Our price comes from our own BOQ, leaving less unpriced risk.
Interior execution typically runs four to eight months after design, depending on area, starting condition and scope. Long-lead joinery and imported materials are ordered as soon as their part of the design is approved.
We prepare the drawings and documents that developers, building managements and authorities request, and schedule the works around approvals. Where a licensed consultant must stamp a submission, we coordinate with that party.
Yes. We review the drawings for buildability, add the missing shop drawings and price the works from a BOQ. The reverse also works: take our design package to tender, then come back for execution.
Payments are tied to milestones in the contract and programme, each linked to completed, inspected work rather than a calendar date, and agreed in writing before signature.
