Design-build in Houston: one team from plans to keys
A1 Design and Construction Ltd. Co. is a design-build company: a one-stop shop for individuals, companies, builders, contractors and developers. You can hire A1 to design your project, to build it as your general contractor, or both, so the job runs smoothly from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
We do it all, start to finish
Pre-construction: we watch the budget, the schedule and the design together. Construction: reliable subcontractors and close oversight of sequencing, production standards and quality checks at every stage. Post-construction: cleanup, systems training, final inspections, move-in coordination and a final walkthrough.
Why design-build
One team answers for the drawings and the build. Costs are checked while the design is still easy to change, the drawings match how the building is actually built, and you have one point of contact from the first meeting to move-in.
What we build
- New homes, additions and remodels

- Metal buildings and warehouses
