Design Advisory Service

Our Design Advisory Service is a preliminary consultation in which one of our architects or designers meets with you at your property to:
  • listen, discuss, and appraise your requirements
  • establish existing conditions and possible limitations
  • suggest and discuss specific or alternative design solutions

The consultation will provide you with:
  • a sketch plan, developed on site with you
  • advice on the viability of the overall project, including design ideas, construction possibilities, energy efficiency and any Planning Permit implications
  • an approximate cost estimate of having the work done
  • a quotation for architectural fees

This consultation usually lasts 60-90 minutes.
