Services & Solutions
We take a ‘ground up’ approach to building development, seamlessly integrating high-quality European and North American products while carefully navigating complex regulatory landscapes. By combining innovation with compliance, we create tailored solutions that enhance performance, sustainability, and design excellence, ensuring each project meets the highest standards for functionality and aesthetics.
Integrated Design
Exceptionally designed projects that instil a sense of community and capture the spirit and beauty of where we live are key, not just for the present generation but for future generations as well. This is the only truly sustainable model. Connection to the outdoors along with efficient designs, allow you to rediscover the natural world and in doing so truly connect with a place and community.
Design Philosophy
Our systems are designed to allow a wide range of home styles and applications due to their excellent structural and thermal properties, while applying current best practices in minimizing construction waste, utilizing sustainable and long lasting materials, in their correct applications.
This can mean the cost of utilities and maintenance are reduced.
Differentiators
Because we combine site preparation and construction services with design and material specifications to create a holistic, integrated approach, you can enjoy greater project flexibility, budget control and build quality.
This integration of services, which includes you as part of the design team, provides greater flexibility in achieving the performance potential of our system, while ensuring expectations such as on-time completion and building performance directives are met
What Is Integrated Design?
Integrated design creates projects that seamlessly blend community, environment, and functionality, ensuring long-term sustainability for both present and future generations. By thoughtfully connecting indoor and outdoor spaces, efficient design enhances our relationship with nature while fostering a deeper sense of place and belonging. This holistic approach not only enriches daily experiences but also strengthens the fabric of vibrant, resilient communities.
Single Source Accountability
Design and construction go hand-in-hand at OIDB, which ensures a single point of responsibility for cost, quality and the construction schedule.
Time Savings
Design and construction phases can be overlapped and the need for bidding and redesign are negated, allowing project timelines to be reduced. Lower costs and earlier commissioning are direct results.
High Quality
From the outset, your requirements and expectations are documented in performance terms, allowing us to clearly understand your wants and needs during the design phase and duplicating this set of specifications during the construction phase to ensure your project is well managed through to its completion.
Reduced Administrative Burden
As both design and construction are handled by us there’s no need for you to co-ordinate the architect and builder contracts. A focus on timely decision making is all that is required.
Construction Costs Confirmed Early
An almost immediate construction cost can be determined once scope of work has been detailed and agreed upon. Decision to proceed can be made before substantial design expenses are accrued.
Improved Risk Management
Aspects of cost, schedule and quality are clearly defined and the risks and responsibilities can be easily managed by all appropriate parties. Change orders regarding errors and omissions can virtually be eliminated, as we have the responsibility for developing drawings and specs as well as constructing the project.
Case Study:
Yoga Retreat @ Banks Rd.
Eleuthera, The Bahamas
Our team successfully completed a resilient, high-performance residential project in the Bahamas, designed to withstand the challenges of a hot, humid climate. Using a panelized approach, we streamlined construction while ensuring structural durability against hurricanes and coastal conditions. The home integrates strategically placed fenestration to maximize natural light and ventilation, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling. By incorporating storm-resistant materials and advanced construction techniques, the project delivers a robust yet elegant solution tailored to the island environment.
A key feature of this project was its passive approach to energy efficiency. We carefully oriented the structure to optimize shade and airflow, minimizing heat gain while enhancing comfort. High-performance glazing, deep overhangs, and thermal mass elements contribute to indoor climate control, reducing energy consumption. The resilience of the design extends beyond weather resistance—it promotes long-term sustainability and minimal maintenance. This completed project exemplifies innovative construction solutions that harmonize with the natural beauty and demanding conditions of the Bahamas.
