BEFORE GETTING STARTED

Before starting any architectural heritage project and to avoid irreversible project mistakes, we recommend having a clear understanding of the following questions:

  • Avoid paying for a design that isn’t achievable! Knowing whether your ideas are feasible and achievable from the outset saves you time and money.

  • Knowing what restrictions and restraints affect your property before starting is crucial to the success of the project and ensures that your project is designed to comply avoiding costly design changes.

  • We advise getting expert advice about your project from the start. Have them provide a clear plan from the beginning that aligns both budget and expectation with insight into you’re your project will need to be achieved.

  • It is vital to the success of any project that the architect has an expert and experienced understanding of the required processes and procedures when dealing with heritage properties. Working out of sequence can be detrimental to the success of your project and can result in the project becoming unachievable.
