WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR A RESIDENTIAL DESIGN PROJECT?
Refer to the page OUR PROCESS.
I WANT TO RENOVATE MY EXISTING HOME BUT NOT EXTEND IT, CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS?
Absolutely, we look after all types of residential projects from new homes, extensions, renovations plus dual occupancy and medium density.
HOW LONG DOES THE DESIGN PROCESS TAKE?
Depending on the complexity of the project, a small internal alteration might only take a few weeks however a new home or a medium density project can take up to 12 months. It’s best to have a chat with us so we can give an answer that is more appropriate for the project you are planning.
WHAT IS REQUIRED TO GET STARTED?
All we need is to know what you would like to achieve; we’ll guide you the rest of the way.
DO I NEED BUILDING PERMITS?
Most projects will require building permits, we can guide you when we know what the project scope is.
CAN WE MAKE REVISIONS?
Revisions are certainly ok, we include 2 rounds of revisions in the Design Development Stage, after this we can discuss and agree on the best solution for other revisions.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR AN INITIAL DESIGN CONSULTATION?
In most cases the initial design consultation is free of charge, we do this for free as it gives us a chance to better understand what you are hoping to achieve.
WHEN IS THE INITIAL CONSULTATION NOT FREE?
If we have to travel more than an hour for the initial consultation then unfortunately, we do have to charge however if we can do this consultation on line then it would remain free of charge.
DOES THE QUOTE INCLUDE ALL REQUIRED CONSULTANT’S FEES?
The quote includes the design and documentation of the architectural component of the project. External consultant’s fees are not included however an estimated amount for each of the required consultants will be listed on the quote and we assist with finding and engaging the required consultants.
ARE YOU AN ARCHITECT?
No, I am a registered Building Practitioner in the Class of Building Designer. I have 30 years experience designing and documenting architectural projects.
WILL YOU DO A COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL PROJECT?
No, my strength is in residential design and as such I will only take on residential projects.
