We’ll clue you in on the process as much or as little as you’d like, but typically there are six project stages for which we’ll need your input.
Pre-Design: we’ll get to know each other and brainstorm conceptual ideas.
Concept Design: we'll develop concepts through drawing and modelling, which we’ll show you for feedback.
Design Development: we'll progress the preferred concepts into more detailed and resolved designs.
Development Application (DA): we'll lodge the plans with the council for approval, which can take up to six months and may involve modifications.
Construction Documentation: we'll work the council-approved designs into construction drawings and details for the building team.
Construction Administration: we'll oversee the construction to ensure things are built as designed. If site issues call for modifications, we'll be involved in resolving them.
