BUILDING DESIGN
Our Team of experienced Designers will listen to the brief and will come up with the best house design to suit the Client's life style, preferred style and within the construction budget.
In the design process we take into consideration local council and NSW State controls & policies to make sure the the approval process is straight forward.
We strive to deliver environmentally sustainable designs for house alterations and additions, new builds or secondary dwellings.
We work in Revit - BIM software. The model is always created in 3D which is then used as a direct input for the design stage . We can then prepare concept plans, DA or CDC plans and full construction drawings if required.
As part of the drafting services , we can prepare 3D renders to help the clients to visualise the future development.
Our DA or CDC plans are easy to read and have enough detail and information for the builder to prepare preliminary building cost estimate.
The plans are also easy to interpreter by the Council officers and the Private Certifiers, which increases the approval rate.
