Initial Consult
The Initial Consultation is an opportunity to discuss your project in depth, gain professional insights, and explore the possibilities for your site. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your vision’s feasibility, potential design directions, and the steps required to bring your project to life.
Whether you’re seeking advice, a second opinion, or a starting point, this meeting is designed to provide clarity and confidence for your architectural journey.
In our conversation we will cover:
An overview of your goals and priorities. This allows us to understand your vision, and ensures we’re aligned.
Discussion of the site, determining what’s possible in terms of design, functionality, and compliance with local planning controls and regulations.
An exploration of your vision. This helps clarify your design preferences, lifestyle needs, and aesthetic goals.
Setting a realisitic cost expectation for your project to help guide design decisions and avoid surprises later.
A review of your timeframe, ensuring the project plan aligns with your schedule.
Sharing our expertise gives to you actionable ideas, even at this early stage. This includes layout reviews, project strategy, and general design suggestions.
Any unknowns or concerns you may have for your project. This ensures we clarify uncertainties and help you feel informed about the process.
Next steps and collaboration opportunities. Here we provide a clear roadmap to ensure you know how to proceed if you choose to work with us.
Pre-Design
Pre-design services provide a structured and comprehensive foundation for your project, bridging the gap between the Initial Consultation and the Full Design Service Package. This phase ensures your project is strategically planned, feasible, and aligned with your goals before any design work begins. It is ideal for both renovations and new builds, providing clarity, confidence, and direction before committing to the full design process.
The following is an outline of what is included:
Due Diligence Report, covering site analysis, regulatory research, and a review of the title and any easements.
Return Brief, clarifying project requirements, aligning the budget, and mapping a high-level timeline for approvals, design and construction.
Feasibility Study, including massing and layout options, cost projections, and a project risk assessment to identify any potential challenges.
Masterplanning (for renovations or larger projects), providing a roadmap for site-wide planning and staging for iterative or long term projects.
Full Design
This service offers an all-encompassing solution that can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you are renovating or building new. We prioritise efficiency and longevity to ensure that your building provides the greatest long-term value.
