Architects, interior designers and urban planners

When it comes to your property,
we plan right from the start so that you save time and money in the end

Whether you’re looking to build a block of units, develop a shopping centre, design an office or shop, or build your dream home, you need the right plans and designs to make it happen.

It’s your worst nightmare when you’re building or renovating: Your Council approvals get delayed or don’t come through at all. Costs you didn’t expect keep coming up. That room isn’t as big as you thought it would be. The neighbour’s window looks right through to yours. Or you just don’t get what you want. How do you avoid these problems? Get an architect who knows the Council approval process, understands what’s involved in building, comes up with solutions to your constraints and listens to your needs.

Here are 7 reasons why our clients have chosen us to do the design and documentation of over 3000 dwellings since 1984:

1. Designs that look good and work – There’s no point having a design that looks pleasing, but isn’t practical for the people who live or work in the property or have to use it. That’s why we’ll help you to get the look you want, but we’ll also give you advice about what it will mean for the building process and whether the designs will achieve what you want when they come to life.

2. Innovative solutions and fresh ideas – Every building has limits in its space and surroundings. And every project will have its problems. The key is to make the most of what you have and turn them into opportunities for innovation. We’ll come up with solutions to these problems. For example, we’ll help you create more space and make better use of the space you have. If you’re a property developer, we’ll help you to get the most density and yield.

3. Documentation for Council approvals and government certificates – When you’re building or renovating, one of the biggest hurdles and stresses will be getting all the right building approvals. Do yourself a favour and get someone to do all the documentation for you. With 20 years experience in dealing with Councils, Land and Environment Court and building approvals, you can rest assured that we’ll help you to get the approvals you need with the least amount of delay.

4. Building knowledge ­– When you get your plans, approvals and designs, you’re then ready for building. Use our knowledge about what’s involved with building so that you’ll know what to expect when the construction work begins. We’ll help to minimise hidden surprises and anticipate any issues that might come up.

5. Environmentally friendly designs – We’ll give you designs that meet compulsory BASIX and NatHERS requirements, save you on energy costs and help to save our environment from global warming.

6. Value for money - Saving money isn’t just about getting the cheapest plans. It’s about getting value for your money. If you spend the time and money in the design and planning stages of your construction or renovation, then you’ll save time and money in the end. We’ll save you money by giving you innovative solutions and cost-effective ideas. We’ll save you time by planning right from the start, getting your government approvals without delay and dealing with building issues before you start construction or renovation work.

7. You’ll get what you want - We’ll give you our expert advice and ideas and tell you what we think would work best for you. But, at the end of the day, we follow the brief and make sure you get what you want.
