Services

From the first site visit to the last snag

Clear stages with fixed fees, so you know what each step costs before we start. Most clients begin with a feasibility study and decide from there.

  1. 01

    Feasibility study

    A measured look at your site, brief and budget before you commit. We test two or three options, check planning risks and give you a realistic cost range.

    • Measured site survey
    • Two to three massing options
    • Planning risk summary
    • Outline cost range

    From $4,500

  2. 02

    Full design service

    Everything from concept design to completion: drawings, specifications, tendering, and fortnightly site inspections until the building is handed over.

    • Concept and developed design
    • Technical drawings and specs
    • Tender and contractor selection
    • Contract administration

    10–13% of build

  3. 03

    • Pre-application meeting

    From $6,800

  4. 04

Process

How we work together

  1. 01

    Brief and feasibility

    We visit the site, listen to how you want to use it, and test options against budget and planning before anything is drawn in detail.

  2. 02

    Concept and planning

    One chosen scheme, developed with models and samples, then submitted for planning with the documents officers expect to see.

  3. 03

    Technical design

    Detailed drawings and specifications that a contractor can price accurately, followed by a competitive tender we run for you.

  4. 04

    Construction

    Fortnightly site inspections, contract administration and a snagging list closed before handover. We return after a year to check the meters.

What clients say

  • “They told us honestly that our first idea would not get planning, and then showed us a better one. The extension cost what they said it would, which still surprises our friends.”

  • “As a public client we need fixed fees and paperwork that survives an audit. We got both, plus a building the town is proud of.”
