Q
What is the difference between a construction company/house builder and an architectural design firm?
A
The difference between housing companies lies in who handles the design, construction, and supervision, and how the budget is allocated. Matsuo Design Office performs structural calculations, thermal environment simulations, and HVAC planning in-house, with one architect handling everything from design to supervision. Please compare each company's estimates and scope of work under the same conditions.
