Our Five-Step Process
Our Five-Step Process
As carefully designed and constructed as our individual homes
1. Concept Design
Concept Design
We work with you to formulate a design brief and begin our due diligence, carefully considering all the factors that are important to you and the environment.
We identify council controls and those of other authorities that may impact your build, then visit and document your land. This takes approximately one week.
We begin the design sketch process and then meet with you to present your concept plan and explain the unique features of your home. You take a copy of your concept plan home to review, and only at this point will you receive an invoice for the commitment fee. The concept plan process takes between three and five weeks.
Following up with a series of feedback meetings, we work with you to refine your concept and prepare your revised plan ready for costing. This takes between one and two weeks.

3. Design Development And Planning Approval
To begin the Design Development process, a Preparation of Plans Agreement is signed with us and your chosen Builder. We then work with you over a few meetings, to develop the finer details of your home, including the interior, landscape and lighting, before seeking planning approval, if required.
4. Construction
Throughout the entire building process, we maintain regular contact with you and your builder and visit your home during construction at key stages.
5. Completion and Follow-up
We visit after you have moved in, to talk to you about the overall process and offer advice on how to get the best thermal performance. We build long-term relationships with our clients and are often asked to design homes for their family members and friends.
Additional complimentary services
From free site assessments, to complimentary consultations with our affiliated lighting, interior design and landscaping specialists.
