Our Process

1. DISCOVERY + INITIAL CONSULTATION

This is where everything begins. We meet with you on site (or virtually) to understand your goals, constraints, style preferences, and overall vision.
What you get: clarity around your options, opportunities, and the best path forward.

2. SITE REVIEW + FEASIBILITY

We assess the site conditions, local council requirements, overlays, constraints, and development potential.
Outcome: a clear picture of what can be achieved and the smartest way to approach the design.

3. CONCEPT DESIGN

We explore spatial ideas, layouts, and design directions tailored to your lifestyle and site.
Inclusions:

• Floor plan concepts

• Massing studies

• Style direction + material ideas

Goal: curate an early design vision that feels like you.

4. SCHEMATIC / DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Your design becomes more detailed, refined, and resolved.
We refine room layouts, elevations, materials, building performance strategies, and architectural character.
Deliverables: drawings and visuals ready for early builder input and council discussions.

5. PLANNING PERMIT APPROVAL

We prepare everything needed for council submission, including drawings, reports, coordination with consultants, and any clarifications requested by the planning team.
Our role: handle the process so you don’t need to.

6. BUILDING PERMIT DOCUMENTATION

Once planning is approved, we prepare the technical drawings required for building permit approval.
Includes: detailed plans, sections, elevations, schedules, details, and coordination with all required consultants.

7. FURTHER DOCUMENTATION FOR CONSTRUCTION

Additional technical drawings and specifications that may not be ‘required’ for the building permit.

Includes: further architectural construction details, full project trade specifications to enable pricing by multiple builders.

8. FURTHER DOCUMENTATION OF INTERIORS

Additional technical drawings and specifications to cover the interior components of the building.

Includes: interior fixtures, fittings and finishes schedules, all interior joinery elevations and details for full pricing, other interior selections as required (scope to be determined).

7. TENDERING + BUILDER SELECTION

We help you source pricing from trusted builders we regularly work with.
Support includes:

• answering builder queries

• reviewing quotes

• helping you compare options

• advising on alignment with quality, cost, and timeline expectations

8. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

Throughout the build, we stay involved to maintain design intent, answer builder questions, and solve issues quickly.
Our goal is a smooth construction phase with minimal stress.

9. PROJECT COMPLETION + HANDOVER

Final checks, approvals, and walk-throughs ensure your new home or development finishes exactly as intended.
A considered, well-resolved space that will grow with you for years to come.
