Design & Build

Seamless from the start.

In construction, success is organized early.

We ensure every piece is in place before we begin, eliminating guesswork. This allows you to make any changes long before they become expensive, and allows us to deliver on our promised schedule.

We’ve partnered with In The Deets, a local design firm, to offer you a truly seamless experience:

The truth is, we created the process that we wish existed years ago when we designed and remodeled our own homes, but it was nowhere to be found.

Build

Priyam Sawhney

Priyam reviews your plans on site and builds a detailed construction bid. She walks the project with the build team, coordinates the work and pays attention to the details that make the finished home feel right.

She is your contractor and point of contact throughout construction.

Design

Gita Jacobson

Gita listens to your wishlist and develops layouts around your lifestyle and the particulars of your home. She coordinates with the architect and engineer, selects finishes, manages permit submissions and orders materials.

As project manager, she stays involved as the design becomes a built space.

Here’s how it works.

In construction, success is organized early. Our six stages bring your vision, budget and practical details together in a deliberate order.

  1. A friendly sit-down.

    Meet with Priyam and Gita to talk about your home, your vision and what matters most. Get to know the people who will guide the project and decide whether we are the right fit.

  2. Layouts with the budget in mind.

    Gita explores how your home can flow with your lifestyle. She considers the site, your budget and the finishes that affect construction while the layout is still taking shape.

    A pocket door and a recessed medicine cabinet can compete for the same wall space. Considering those details early helps the layout and finishes work together.

  3. A detailed bid and plan approval.

    With a layout chosen, Gita coordinates permit-ready plans with the architect and engineer. Priyam walks your site and prices the work step by step, so you can review scope and costs before building.

  4. Final preparation, hand in hand.

    Gita manages permit submissions and material orders. Priyam walks every room and wall with the build team, reviewing the design and permit set so everyone understands the work ahead.

    Selections and material lead times are coordinated alongside the construction plan.

  5. Transparent construction.

    Priyam and Gita stay involved as work progresses. Our crew pays attention to the experience of living around a renovation: keeping the site organized, containing dust and respecting your home and neighbors.

    We keep you informed about what is happening and what comes next, and clean up at the end of each working day.

  6. The final reveal.

    You have planned the details and watched the pieces come together. Then the tape comes off, and you see those decisions as a finished home. It is time to enjoy what you have created.

See the possibilities in real homes.

Explore our completed projects, then tell us what you would love to change in your own home.

IN OUR CLIENTS’ WORDS

Homes are personal. So are their stories.

"We worked with Gita and Priyam on an addition and full house renovation. Gita put our dream house on paper and made the permit process seamless. I never would have been able to keep everything straight! She designed each space, bought all finishes, and managed the entire project. I am so grateful for Priyam's expertise and her crew's attention to detail, What an amazing team!"

Konstructo was amazing to work with on our whole house remodel!

They provided exceptional design and build services, demonstrating outstanding communication skills and incredible organization throughout the entire project. We were thrilled that they finished on time—something countless friends and family told us was rare in the remodeling world. This duo truly goes above and beyond at every step of the project, and they are lovely to work with. We happily recommend In the Deets & Konstructo to any Lafayette homeowners considering a remodel.

We worked with Gita and Priyam on our downtown Lafayette home renovation, transforming our 1500 sq ft home into a stunning 2400 sq ft, 4-bed/3.5-bath residence. The project involved gutting the entire property, rebuilding the garage, adding a great room and bedroom, extending the kitchen, and constructing a deck above the garage.

The timing was challenging! We discovered we were pregnant two weeks after demolition began. Having construction partners who stayed on timeline was essential, and they delivered fantastically under pressure.
