The earlier, the better!

Bringing in an Architect or Interior Designer at the start of your project ensures a well-thought-out plan, avoids costly mistakes, and allows for a seamless coordination from day one. Whether it is a new build, renovation, or interior update, early collaboration set the right direction and avoids costly changes down the track.

Because you have enough on your plate, and you deserve a professional partner who listens to you and can handle everything for you…

If you’re looking to create a custom-designed home that fits your lifestyle, we take care of every detail so you can focus on what matters most.

For homeowners, we understand that your home is more than just a building – it’s a place to recharge, entertain, and feel truly at ease. We design spaces that reflect your personality, enhance your daily life, and work seamlessly for you. The design of your home impacts everything, from your mood to your daily routine, so we ensure it works for you, now and in the future.

For investors and developers, we know that maximising the value of your investment is crucial. That’s why we bring deep market insight to create designs that not only look stunning, but also optimise returns. We use up-to-date insights to ensure your project maximises its value and meets the evolving needs of the market, delivering both beauty and profitability.

With us, you can trust that your project is in expert hands, every step of the way.

The cost of your project can vary depending on what you’re looking to achieve, the finishes you want, and the complexity of the design…

But don’t worry, we’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure you get the best value for your investment. We’ll start by understanding your vision and help you explore cost-effective solutions that meet your goals. We also recommend setting aside a contingency fund – just in case any unexpected surprises pop up during construction (because, let’s face it, they happen!).

With our expertise, we’ll guide you in making informed decisions that keep your project within budget and on schedule.

The timeline for your project depends on several factors, including the scope of work, required approvals, and project complexity.

Here’s what can impact the duration:

• Type of project (internal renovation vs. new build)
• Need for Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) – CDC is much faster
• Size and complexity of the project
• Council approval and permitting time
• Site preparation (access, clearing)
• Availability of materials and trades

For example, a simple renovation, like updating a bathroom, could take a few weeks, while a larger project like a full home renovation or a new build could take several months to a couple of years. 

As for moving out, it depends on how disruptive the work will be. If we’re updating your kitchen or bathrooms, or doing structural changes, it might be necessary for you to temporarily relocate for your comfort and safety.

We’ll work with you to establish a clear timeline and ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Absolutely ! If you already have a builder in mind, we are happy to collaborate.

The key is ensuring they have experience delivering well-designed projects, as attention to detail is crucial. A strong partnership between the architect and builder helps maintain design integrity and ensures a smooth construction process.

We will also walk you through the different ways to select a builder so you can choose what works best for you. A common approach is a competitive tender, where multiple builders provide pricing. We manage this process, recommend trusted builders, and include any you would like to consider. Once the quotes are in, we will guide you through the decision based on cost, time, and quality—so you can be confident in your choice.

No matter which builder you choose, we will be there to oversee the process, troubleshoot any challenges, and make sure your vision comes to life as planned.

Our process is structured yet flexible, ensuring you stay informed and in control while we handle the details. Here’s how it works:

• Discovery & Briefing: We start by understanding what you need – how you live, what inspires you, and what challenges we need to solve.
• Concept & Design Development: We translate your vision into 3D model, floor plans and finishes, balancing beauty with practicality.
• Approvals & Documentation: Whether it’s a CDC, DA, or a Construction set, we prepare everything needed to get your project approved and built.
• Builder Selection & Coordination: We can help you choose the right builder, run a tender, and oversee the process to ensure the design is executed as intended.
• Construction Oversight: If you like, we can stay involved throughout the build – administering your contract, addressing questions, resolving any issues, and making sure everything is built as planned. 

Whether you want to be hands-on or prefer us to take the lead, we tailor our approach to suit your level of involvement.
