Process
STEP 1 / DESIGN BRIEF & CONCEPT STAGE
Our creative journey unfolds with a personalised on-site visit and client briefing, where ideas and requirements are explored. Through collaborative refinement, a design solution is established, culminating in the presentation of immersive 3D designs and captivating colour elevations.
STEP 2 / DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
This is the transitional phase in which the design moves from the schematic phase to the contract document phase.
In this phase we prepare drawings and other presentation documents to crystallise the design concept and describe it in terms of architectural, electrical, mechanical, and structural systems.
Included in this stage is the integration of landscaping into the design of your new home and landscaped areas.
STEP 3 / PROJECT ESTIMATE
The design drawings can now be used to consult with a builder to ascertain a construction budget. At this time, this budget can be used to firm up the design and documentation fee.
STEP 4 / PLANNING | DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
This phase embodies precision and refinement. We craft preliminary plans meticulously, aligning them seamlessly with client-approved designs. Working closely with Local Authorities ensures flawless compliance with Development Approval (DA) Guidelines.
STEP 5 / WORKING DRAWINGS
In this crucial phase, the approved preliminary drawings transform into comprehensive construction documentation.
Engaging computer-aided drafting, we collaborate with professionals—engineers, surveyors, and builders—to enhance the drawings' depth.
Clients actively participate in the working drawings stage, attending suppliers for selections, covering aspects from sanitary ware to flooring types. This collaborative process guarantees a bespoke and impeccable blueprint for your dream home.
Optional services
STEP 6 / INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICE
Our accomplished team of Interior Designers becomes integral to your project, engaging as early as the Design Concept Stage. Collaborating seamlessly with the broader team, they ensure your fit-out preferences harmonise with the overall design. Once your Interior Design Brief is established, the team works closely with you, identifying products and refining design details to bring your vision to life.
STEP 7 / PROJECT | PROJECT ADDENDA & TENDER PROCESS
Now our focus shifts to meticulous project documentation, encompassing detailed material and product selections. Seamless collaboration with builders is initiated to obtain precise project pricing. Should you desire, our team can adeptly manage the tender process, ensuring a streamlined and transparent pathway to the realisation of your vision.
STEP 8 / LANDSCAPE DESIGN SERVICE
We offer in-house professional advice and expertise to identify the best-suited products for your project. This includes meticulous material selections and seamless liaison with sub-contractors and sales representatives for specialised materials.
