Before an initial conversation, we ensure that there is an upfront alignment on your journey to date, so we can be informed and set up the process for success.
Specifically, we request information on:
Whether your site is secured (we can't commence on design until it is).
Site surveys. Where you haven't yet obtained one, we network you with our recommended surveyors.
Preliminary assessment. We ensure that you have some up-front confidence from council that you'll be good to proceed, especially in the case of duplexes or other instances where zoning issues may arise.
Budget. We ascertain whether you have a budget in mind for your project, especially where partners are involved.

This meeting represents the formal start of our working relationship. We give you the chance to ask all your questions so you can get a feel for us as your partner on an exciting journey.

Based on our kick-off meeting and any further conversations as our work progresses, our team of in-house architects undertakes the core design work needed to help achieve your vision.
While doing so, we engage our entire in-house team, including our engineers and project managers. When needed, we consult external consultants such as government authorities.
Based on their combined input, we present our design direction to you for commentary, and iterate until we're able to lock it down to your satisfaction.

We submit your plan, choosing either one of two pathways based on our conversations at the kick-off meeting (See #3 above):
—
Pre-construction: Following approval of your design and plan, we commence the pre-construction stage, which involves finalising all required finishes to ensure the most efficient build process and minimise any minimise delays or unintended costs.
Construction: We then begin the exciting phase of construction, bringing your vision to life.
Site meetings: During this phase, we invite you to numerous on-site meetings to give you visibility over how everything is coming together. We'll agree their phasing at our kick-off meeting.
—
Following construction, we conduct thorough checks and ensure any defects and gaps are picked up and closed off, so you are ready for the big move.
We work through this process with you, giving you the chance to inspect and bring anything to our attention.
Following handover, we remain close by you to take care of any issues that may arise, ensuring you are thoroughly satisfied as you come to the end of this important journey with us!
