Process
Project Establishment
We set your project goals, considering your budget and scope. We check local rules and let you know what you can build.
Concept Design
In this phase, ideas take shape. We explore creative solutions, develop initial layouts, and define the look and feel of your project.
Developed Design
We refine the concept into a buildable design, defining dimensions, materials, and structure. Plans are shared with consultants for pricing.
Detailed Design
We finalize all technical aspects of the project, including construction details, specifications, and finishes.
Building Consent
We prepare and submit required documentation for council approval, ensuring compliance with NZBC and regulations.
Site Observation
We conduct site visits to ensure progress aligns with approved plans and quality standards.
