Construction detail, arbor/swing, private residence.
Construction detail documents allow clients to receive equally-based bids from contractors. They also allow clients to build things themselves, if they choose. Construction documents give our clients control of project development.
At KDG every part of a conceptual plan can be built. Carefully constructed details make reality of the concept developed by us through interaction with our clients.
