thesiliconreview-logo-mk2-design-21.jpg

Design-Build (D-B) is a project delivery system that includes planning, design and construction under one contract. D-B is the idea of partnering the right team, from the start, to help get to a completed project successfully and provide the highest satisfaction to the Client/Owner. Basically it’s like putting together any sports team. You pick teammates you know you can collaborate with, trust, lean on for support and ultimately win the game with. Design-Build has many advantages to ensuring a successful completed project when working together as a team.   

MK2 Design + Build is a single point design build company. It personally handles every aspect not just the design, but the entire construction process. With more than 35 years of combined experience, its team of professional, energetic, and highly creative designers and managers have provided unrivaled, unique interior design, project management, customer service and construction services to clients all across South Florida, Miami, West Palm Beach, the US, and international markets. Unlike other firms who spread their attention thin by taking on numerous jobs at a time, MK2 works on a limited number of projects per year so that they can give their clients the personal attention they deserve.
