One of the most common questions we’re asked by clients is: “Other than designing our new home or extension, can you also help us find a builder and manage the construction process?” The answer is a resounding yes.
As architects, our role extends far beyond design. We provide a comprehensive service that supports your project from the initial concept right through to completion. Here's what that looks like in practice:
Design & Planning
Our first task is to bring your vision to life through thoughtful, functional, and inspiring design. But we don’t stop there. We also manage the planning application process, whether it's through your local council or a private certifier. This includes preparing the necessary drawings, reports, and documentation to gain planning approval.
Tendering & Builder Selection
Once planning permission is granted, we assist with the tender process—helping you find the right builder for your project. We prepare detailed documentation for tendering, assess quotes, and guide you in selecting a contractor who aligns with your budget, timeline, and quality expectations.
Project Management
During construction, we offer on-site project management to ensure the design is built as intended. We conduct regular site visits, liaise with the builder, and address any issues that may arise, ensuring your interests are protected and the quality of work is maintained throughout.
Consultant Coordination
Every construction project requires input from a range of technical consultants. As part of our service, we organise and coordinate all the professionals your project may need, such as:
Surveyors
Stormwater Engineers
Structural Engineers
Acoustic Consultants (if required)
Heritage Consultants (for heritage-listed sites)
Geotechnical Engineers
We integrate their requirements seamlessly into our architectural drawings, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
Interior Design & Specifications
In addition to the architectural design, we also offer interior design services. From material selection to fixtures, fittings, and finishes, we help define the look and feel of your spaces down to the smallest detail. We provide detailed interior specifications that are coordinated with the overall construction documentation.
A Team Behind You
When you engage an architect, you're not just hiring one professional—you’re accessing an entire network of expert consultants, all managed and coordinated on your behalf. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible, supporting you every step of the way to turn your dream into a built reality
