PHASE 1 Client Brief, information Gathering
We work with you to define your needs and objectives, considering the function, character, image, space and other factors that effect how you will live in your home.

• Site analysis for best placement of the house, together with determining the slope of the land

• Determine scope of construction, budget and schedule

PHASE 2 Design Stage
We call it brainstorming on paper, developing concept diagrams, sketches to determine the general layout, form and overall appearance of your house and site, size of rooms etc. Using the copy of title of your site we can ascertain the possibilities of northern orientation to make as much use of sunlight, solar energy and natural ventilation. Developments are designed to maximize insulation thus reducing winter heat loss.

PHASE 3 Re-assessment
At this stage we suggest you look at placement of furniture and whether window and door locations suit internal room use. Consultations with you will ensure that the designs suit your lifestyle. Amendments are then made and final sketches are produced.

PHASE 4 Design Development
Technical details, plans, elevations and sections through the house are then developed with a view to obtaining a building permit. Construction documentation and working drawings for your design are translated in to the technical language of the contractor. Working drawings and specifications detail all of the materials to be used, where they are to be located and how they are to be installed. All requirements of the Building Code of Australia and local council regulations are adhered to.

PHASE 5 Coordination
Engineering computations for roof beams, garage lintels, slab design and retaining walls etc. are produced. We make all contact with external consultants, e.g. the engineer, to assist with any technical information that may be required for computations. Consulting with the client as required.

PHASE 6 Final
We provide the building surveyor with all the documentation necessary to obtain the building permit. We also gain approval from other authorities if required, such as building over easements etc.
