What We Do As Your Architect

Deciding to build a new home or renovating an existing one is a big decision which will likely be one of the biggest investments you make in your life.

You will be revealing a lot about your day to day habits, hobbies and preferences to your architect, so you need to work with someone that you trust. Your architect will become your new best friend during your dream home journey.

I often get asked what we will do as your architect and here is a summary of the key points I relay to potential clients:

We are more than just designers: As your architect it is our responsibility to manage the entire design and construction process. We will guide you through the town planning process, obtain competitive quotes for the work, manage consultants such as surveyors and engineers, monitor the budget and administer the construction contract. It is our responsibility to manage your project from your initial concept through to construction completion.

We will come up with your unique design concept: We always start our projects by conducting a detailed design brief. We meet to discuss in detail what is most important to you in the design and work out what is really wanted and needed. An architecturally designed home is more likely to fit in with your habits and lifestyle. They are a highly sought-after real estate in a market that is prepared to pay for the benefits of good design.

We will help you establish the right budget for your project: A good architect understands certain design elements and will advise you to whether they can work with your ideas to create your perfect home. We will help you establish what you are comfortable to invest in your project and you may even find that you can build your project for less, or with a higher-level quality than you thought possible.
