Daniel Design and Build is a residential design-build firm. We handle the design and the construction of renovations, additions, kitchens, and baths — along with the planning, permitting, and project management in between.
We design it. We build it. The same firm, accountable for everything in between.
A selection of recent projects — renovations, kitchens, baths, and additions across Long Island and New York.
Design-build, in plain terms.
Design-build is a project delivery method where one company manages both the design and the construction of your project. Instead of hiring an architect, engineer, designer, and contractor separately, you work with a single team from concept through completion — design, budgeting, planning, permitting, and construction coordinated under one roof, for a more efficient and predictable experience.
At Daniel Design and Build, we guide every stage — from the first conversation and preliminary concepts to permits, construction, and final completion. Learn more about our design-build approach.
Why Homeowners Choose Design-BuildYou don't have to coordinate multiple firms or play middleman between designers and contractors. We manage the entire process and keep everyone aligned from day one.
Design decisions, construction methods, budgets, and material selections are evaluated together throughout planning — identifying issues early and reducing surprises later.
Because design and construction are integrated, planning, pricing, and preparation can happen simultaneously — often shortening timelines and creating a more efficient path to completion.
Budget discussions begin early and continue throughout design, so informed decisions are made before plans are finalized — preventing costly redesigns and unnecessary change orders.
With designers, project managers, and construction professionals working together, projects benefit from clear communication, accountability, and a unified vision start to finish.
The work we take on most — each handled with the same planning, coordination, and attention to detail.
Comprehensive renovations that reimagine how a home functions, feels, and flows. We coordinate everything from layout changes and structural work to finishes and final detailing.
Thoughtfully designed kitchens that balance function, storage, and everyday living — spaces that become the natural centerpiece of the home.
From powder rooms to primary suites, we handle every aspect of bathroom design and construction: layout, waterproofing, fixtures, tilework, and finish selections.
Adding living space, expanding a kitchen, creating a primary suite, or building a second story — we design and construct additions that feel integrated with the original home.
From professional offices and medical suites to restaurants, retail, and hospitality, we design and build commercial interiors that balance function, brand identity, and customer experience. We manage planning, permitting, construction, and the coordination of every trade — creating spaces that are efficient, welcoming, and built to support your business for years.
A home's exterior shapes its first impression and its long-term performance. We design and build complete exterior transformations — facades, roofing, siding, masonry, windows, doors, porches and porticos, outdoor living, hardscaping, landscape, lighting, and drainage — making sure every element works together architecturally and functionally.
Great design goes beyond selecting finishes. We focus on spaces that are beautiful, functional, and tailored to how you live — space planning, materials, cabinetry, lighting, fixtures, color, furniture layouts, and decorative details. Integrating it with construction keeps every decision aligned with the overall vision of the home.
A clear path from first conversation to final walkthrough, so you always understand what's happening and what comes next.
Every project begins with a conversation about your goals, priorities, budget, timeline, and vision. From there we gather information about your home and document existing conditions — measurements, surveys, zoning, and building constraints — to establish a clear foundation for design.
Before design is finalized, we evaluate budget expectations, construction feasibility, scheduling, and potential challenges. This early planning turns your goals into a realistic roadmap before significant time or cost is committed.
Ideas take shape through layouts, space planning, and architectural concepts, then get refined into detail: floor plans, elevations, materials, fixtures, finishes, and construction methods — all coordinated with budget and function in focus.
Detailed drawings and specifications are prepared for accurate pricing, coordination, and execution. We then prepare and submit the documentation required by local municipalities and building departments, managing approvals on your behalf.
Once construction begins, we oversee every aspect of the build — scheduling, subcontractor coordination, procurement, inspections, quality control, and communication. You get consistent updates and a single point of contact throughout.
As construction concludes, we perform final walkthroughs, address remaining details, and confirm every element meets our standards before closeout.
Successful projects don't happen by accident. They're the result of thoughtful planning, clear communication, and experienced execution. Our design-build approach lets us guide you through the entire process with greater efficiency, accountability, and confidence — from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Our approach is straightforward: plan thoroughly, price honestly, and build carefully. Most of what makes a renovation stressful — surprise costs, delays, decisions made too late — comes from work that isn't coordinated. We resolve those things early, on paper, so construction becomes the calm part of the process rather than the unpredictable one.
