We will meet with you to learn more about you and your vision for the project. It provides you with the opportunity to ask questions of us and to see if we’re a good fit for your project.

If you’d like to proceed, we will prepare a no-obligation fee proposal for you, separated into the project phases as listed below, with consideration as to your desired level of involvement and engagement. It will also outline the consultants required and their likely costs, so you know what to expect upfront. 

Together we will formulate a detailed brief in consideration of your objectives and budget. We will conduct a comprehensive Site Analysis to assess the opportunities and complexities of your site: the prevailing winds, orientation, views, surrounding landscape, shading, access, overlays, zones and easements to determine the best location, siting and connection requirements for your new build.

With the analysis and brief in place we can commence conceptual work – preparing schematic diagrams, concept floor plans, elevations and preliminary 3D perspectives to communicate the general design intent, materiality and basic construction ideas, for your approval. We can provide an optional preliminary constructioncost estimate at this point.

Having established the Concept Design, we can commence detailed CAD drawings for submission to council. A 3D model is generated at this point for your full visualisation - to ensure you are happy with the complete design.

We will prepare and lodge your Development Approval (Planning Permit Application) to your Local Authority, taking the stress out of this phase by managing the Permit application for you.

At this stage we generate fully scoped Schedules of internal and external fixtures, fittings and materials, and fully dimensioned Architectural drawings. We serve as your project team leader for consultants, ensuring effective communication and co-ordination of all components and services of the building, for a coherent whole. The result is a comprehensive compiled set of documentation combining Architectural and Consultant drawings, schedules and specifications ready for quotes, building permit approval.

We can invite Expressions of Interest from local builders for tendering or take your project into negotiation with your preferred builder. We can advise on suitable building contracts according to the nature, size and scope of your project.

As an optional service, we can independently administer your construction contract on your behalf. We will respond to builder’s requests for information, validate progress claims, conduct regular inspections, assess variations, attend site meetings and monitor standards of construction for quality control, to ensure your project is delivered to the approved design. Alternatively, we can assist on an as-requested support basis.

Construction is completed, final checks are made, handover is official, and it’s time to move in and celebrate your newly built or renovated building!
