FAQs

Frequently asked questions about our services

How long does the design and construction process take?

The design process typically takes 3–6 months, depending on the size and complexity of the project. We focus on providing high-quality design drawings and documentation suitable for council approvals and builder pricing. Construction timeframes vary depending on your chosen builder and the scale of the project.

What is the cost estimation and budgeting process?

We provide early-stage cost guidance during the design phase to help ensure your project remains aligned with your budget. Once the design is developed, we prepare documentation that can be used for obtaining quotes from builders or for a detailed cost plan by a quantity surveyor. This ensures you maintain clear cost expectations.

Do you handle building permits and regulatory approvals?

We assist with preparing the design documentation required for planning and building approvals. While we don’t lodge permits or manage the approval process directly, we work closely with certifiers, town planners and other consultants as needed to ensure a smooth process for you.

How do you incorporate sustainability into  designs?

We prioritise passive design principles, like natural light, ventilation and site orientation, to create energy-efficient spaces. We also select materials and products that are recycled, locally sourced or sustainably certified, ensuring your project is both beautiful and environmentally responsible.

Can you assist with interior design and space planning?

Yes. We offer interior design and space planning services to ensure the interiors are as thoughtfully designed as the architecture. From spatial layouts to material and fixture selections, we create cohesive, functional interiors tailored to your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

What sets your architecture services apart from others?

We specialise in design-focused services, offering a flexible, collaborative approach without the formality of full-service contracts. By concentrating on the design and documentation stages, we give clients greater control while delivering considered and elegant designs.
