How We Work

 

 

THE INITIAL MEETING
If you have decided to renovate or build, the first step is to give as a call to make a time for us to come out and met with you.

Within a few days we will have met with you, discussed your ideas, found out what direction you would like to take and when you'd like to start building.

FEES
At the completion of the initial  appointment you'll have a lot to think about.  This is when you will know if you would like to proceed. You'll be given a verbal fee followed up with a personalised written fees schedule within 24 hours (usually sent by email). Then it's just a matter of fitting in with each others schedules. Its as easy as that.

THE PROCESS                                                                                                                We have a two phase  process that we follow that covers 5 steps. This allows us to provide you with a fixed fee so you can budget accurately the costs involved in obtaining a permit. We also provide a handbook that covers the entire process so the confusion of what to do next is eliminated.

ENGAGEMENT OF SERVICES
Confirmation of engaging our services is when you forward us a deposit based on the fees provided. You'll discover the first phase; the design process, usually takes the longest time, yet is the most rewarding. The second stage; is the fine tuning phase followed by the permit application process. Once the permit application is underway it is best to begin obtaining quotations.  As the design & application process develops everything begins to fit into a streamline pattern.

FINALIZATION
When the drawings are ready for permit application,  and you are satisfied with the final plans, prior to releasing drawings you will need to complete your final payment.  On confirmation your drawings can either be provided electronically or as a paper copy.  We provide all our clients with a  personalised CD containing PDF drawings, Revit drawings and documentation.  You then have the option of printing plans whenever you need.

So if you need some expertise - call us. You'll find us friendly, helpful & willing to go that extra mile.
