Our Architectural Services

​​Residential renovations

Are you needed to extend the home for a growing family or bring a old home back to life? We can assist with your renovation plans​

Hardscape

Need a consent for that deck, garage or carport? Our service can help you get approval.

Residential new builds

We can help create your dream home and cover all aspects such as budgets and processes. ​

​Building and Resource consents

With all our projects requiring council permission we can take care of the whole consent process resulting with a issued plan.

Our Process

Concept

We start the process by working with you to create a concept design for your proposed project. We take the time to listen to your needs and desires and reflect that into your design. Documentation that is provided at this stage would commonly be a floor plan, elevations and perspectives.

Development

We then develop the plans which will give an opportunity to make any changes, cost control and engage with subconsultants to understand their work and fees.

Construction detail & documentation

This stage is to provide all architectural plans, construction details, specification documentation and prepare to lodge to the appropriate council. We will coordinate and liaise with all appropriate sub consultants and integrate their information and documentation with our set.

Building consent 

Once we have lodged your documentation to council we will manage the process through to when the plans are issued.
