"AN ORGANISED PROCESS FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION"
01
PROJECT INQUIRY
Following your initial inquiry, we will schedule an on-site consultation to discuss your project and understand your requirements. This meeting will serve as the foundation for developing a detailed project brief, where we will delve into your lifestyle, aspirations, and specific requirements. A project brief is rarely stagnate, and will be updated, with you, throughout the design process.
02
CONCEPT DESIGN
The concept design phase transforms your brief into initial architectural concepts. We conduct a thorough site analysis, considering factors such as local authority planning rules, solar orientation, prevailing winds, views, and any unique site characteristics. We explore design options, considering site conditions, client preferences, and budget, to establish the project's form and aesthetic direction. We focus on core spatial organisation and "big picture" ideas, laying the foundation for detailed development in later phases.
03
DEVELOPED DESIGN
Following your approval of the concept design, the developed design phase focuses on refining the architectural details. This stage involves development of floor plans, elevations, and sections, ensuring a higher level of design accuracy. Material selections, structural considerations, and building systems are introduced and addressed, solidifying the design intent and ensuring project feasibility. This phase provides a comprehensive understanding of the project's aesthetic and functional attributes, ensuring it aligns with the client's requirements and prepares the project for subsequent documentation.
04
DETAILED DESIGN
In the detailed design phase, we translate the approved design into comprehensive and precise drawings, ready for building consent application and pricing. This stage involves meticulous development of architectural drawings, including detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, detailing, and specifications. We refine material selections, coordinate structural and building systems, and address all technical aspects necessary for construction. This phase ensures that the design is fully realised, providing a clear and thorough blueprint for the subsequent construction, and ensuring that the project aligns with all regulatory requirements and client expectations.
05
PROCUREMENT, OBSERVATION AND ADMINISTRATION
The Procurement, Observation, and Administration phase ensures the seamless transition from design documents to built form. In this stage, we can assist with contractor selection and procurement, including running a tendering process and forming a building contract.
During construction, we provide regular on-site observation to verify adherence to the approved design and quality standards. If required, we can also manage the contract administration, progress reporting, and communication coordination, ensuring the project progresses efficiently and effectively, ultimately delivering the projects vision with precision and care.
06
COMPLETION
The end of construction and Practical Completion phase marks a successful project. This stage involves a thorough final inspection to ensure all work meets the approved design and quality standards. We facilitate the handover of all necessary warranties and certifications, including contractual requirements, ensuring a smooth transition and your complete satisfaction. Our commitment extends beyond construction, as we aim to provide you with a finished project that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, ready for you to enjoy.
