Murray Lampert architectural designers and project managers reviewing plans together

What Design-Build Actually Means

In a traditional remodel, you hire a designer separately from your contractor. When plans go to bid, costs shift. When problems arise, responsibility gets passed between parties. You end up in the middle. Design-build eliminates that structure. Murray Lampert’s architectural designers and project managers work under the same roof. Your design is priced as it is drawn, so the number you approve is the number you pay — no change orders driven by miscommunication between parties who were never working together.

  • In-house architectural designers and interior designers
  • Design to budget with fixed price
  • One contract, one team, one point of accountability
  • High quality work, backed by a 3-year warranty
How Our Process Works
Four generations of the Murray Lampert family in San Diego

Family-Owned Since 1975. Still Building for the Long Term.

Murray Lampert has been designing and building homes in San Diego for more than 50 years — long enough to know that how you build matters as much as what you build. Our architectural designers and interior designers work in-house. Our project managers run your job from permit submission through final inspection. We don’t hand projects off between separate firms, and we don’t bid work we won’t stand behind.
