The design process begins with a meeting with an architect at your property. This initial design session lasts for either half a day or a full day, depending on your requirements. We will help to define your brief and advise on the best way forward for the project.

Brief development

Proposed sketches

Assess required consents

Cost information

Draft programme

The design process is a collaborative one, and your architect will discuss each aspect of the proposal in detail with you as the design develops. We provide drawings, material samples and 3D rendered views that illustrate the qualities of the proposed spaces.

Appoint consultants

Outline designs

Obtain cost estimates

Planning consents

Other consents

At this stage we will progress the design from planning drawings to a fully developed proposal, with detailed drawings and schedules describing the works. These form part of a package that will enable prices to be provided for construction.
