How does the design process work?
→ A building procurement process is complex, involving many stages. We have developed a step by step
booklet in our Full Services Guide outlining the different phases for you to follow.
Do you remain involved during the construction process?
→ Under our standard Client Architect Agreement, we continue helping you as the contract administrator
during the construction process. As we believe that being engaged throughout is most beneficial for
project delivery, our preference is to be engaged including up to contract administration.
What if I require only drawings or design?
→ As we believe that being engaged throughout is most beneficial for project delivery, our preference is
to be engaged including up to contract administration. If your requirements require drawings only, our
full service may not be right for you.
What if I require consultancy, no drawings or design?
→ Architect’s advice can be beneficial as a one-off engagement. To nominate us as primary consultant
will require engagement under full services. You can also have a look at our Spec-Easy range if you want
nominated specifications that our architecture firm uses. We do not get involved in project takeovers or
existing projects where we have not been involved from the start.
When are you able to start your design process?
→ As part of our professional indemnity, we require the Client Architect Agreement signed before any
work on our part can start. This is for the benefit of everyone, to manage expectations and delivery. If
there are any areas you are still unsure of, we recommend contacting us to clarify so that you can be at
ease about engaging us.
Do your drawings include 3D visualisations?
→ Our documentation often includes 3D views to help you and everyone involved understand the design.
However if you require marketing material which is further developed, we will be happy to help for an
additional fee.
How much time will my project take?
→ We include a draft program in the email to help you estimate a time frame for your project.
What consultants or builders would you recommend for my project?
→ We are happy to provide our network of consultants or builders as necessary provided we are engaged
as your primary consultant.
Who will be designing my project? Who will be my everyday contact?
→ As your friendly local boutique architecture firm, we designate an architect to see each project
personally to procurement from start to finish. We will be happy to arrange a meeting if you wish to know
more about our process.
