I initiate your project with a detailed investigation, commencing with our initial meeting and site exploration. I conduct feasibility studies on a flexible time and cost basis to address council compliance and budget considerations.
Upon agreement, we embark on the Pre-Design Process, emphasising fundamental elements like layout sketches, site survey data, and soil investigations. This personalised approach ensures a solid and unique foundation for your project.
Transforming your project brief into a creative design, I expand on your feedback and explore construction methods, materials, and design options. Collaborating with experts like Structural Engineers and Quantity Surveyors, and lay the groundwork for a seamless transition from concept to reality.
Upon finalising the concept design, encompassing layout, construction, and materials, I proceed to create the final council consent drawings and contract documentation, with a set fee for this phase.
After securing Resource and Building consents and engaging the Main Contractor, I address any site or building issues undertaken on a time and cost basis, with regular site meetings.
