PROCESS
One partner,
first sketch to final product.
Malapa brings Studio, Produce and People together as a single committed partner. We design, fabricate and deliver from first sketch to final handover. No gaps between consultants and contractors.
THE MALAPA PROCESS
Six stages. One partner.
Every project moves through six clearly defined stages, each ending with a formal approval meeting. Nothing proceeds without your explicit sign-off.
Discovery & Viability
We visit your site, learn your brand and the guest experience you want, and shape the brief together. Both parties align before any commitment.
Concept & Feasibility
For a fixed design fee we translate your vision into architectural concepts, establishing the look, feel and spatial character of your lodge.
Detail & Costing
We develop the full architectural drawings and deliver a firm cost breakdown, so you know exactly what you’re committing to before committing.
Procure & Produce
We source materials and begin fabricating components off-site under controlled conditions, coordinating all logistics to your site.
Install & Handover
Our team supervises on-site assembly and quality-checks every element before walking you through the finished product.
Warranty & Support
We stand behind our builds, with ongoing support, warranty and easy contact for spares and servicing to keep your lodge running reliably.
WHY ONE PARTNER
Cost certainty. Single responsibility. Control.
Cost Certainty
From an initial budget range at Stage 1 to a firm cost breakdown at Stage 3. You know exactly what you're committing to before construction begins.
Single Responsibility
Not just architects. Not just builders. Not just engineers. All three, under one contract. No gaps between consultants and contractors.
Stage-Gate Control
Each stage ends with your formal approval. Nothing proceeds without your sign-off. Stay in control without managing a dozen parties.
