What this covers

Initial Consultation: We begin by discussing your project requirements, objectives, and budget during an initial consultation. This helps us gain a clear understanding of your vision and allows us to outline the scope of work accordingly.

Concept Development: Based on the information gathered during the consultation, our team develops preliminary design concepts and sketches for your review and feedback. We work closely with you to refine these concepts until they align with your vision.

Design Refinement: Once the initial concepts are approved, we proceed to develop detailed architectural drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and sections. Throughout this stage, we continue to collaborate with you to ensure that the designs meet your expectations.

Finalisation: After incorporating any necessary revisions, we finalise the architectural drawings and prepare them for presentation and approval. Our team ensures that the plans are accurate, comprehensive, and ready for further stages of the project, such as permitting and construction.
