5 EASY STAGES TOWARDS IMPROVED LIVING

Let us help you make the process easy. hear from the experts

STAGE 1. CONCEPT - MASTER PLANNING

On agreement of our design and fee proposal, we arrange a survey of the property and if renovating, will measure the existing property and house to prepare measured drawings.

Our Architects then develop conceptual ideas from your brief to produce a master plan of your property; a freehand sketch site plan illustrating the proposed layout of all structures, external works and landscaping on site. A simple freehand sketch elevation is also presented for client input and approval before proceeding to sketch design.

STAGE 1. CONCEPT - SKETCH DESIGN

Sketch design is further development of the masterplan and involves transferring the concept to AutoCAD.

Sketch design plans and elevations include:

  • Sketch design plans + sketch elevations (site plan, floor plan, roof plan)

  • Exploration of proposed architectural design style
