A Discovery Package is an opportunity to explore the project before committing to further stages. We visit the property, develop early ideas and consider the budget and planning constraints. We bring the findings together in a booklet to discuss with you. There is no obligation to continue.

We develop the layout, building form and relationship to light and outdoor space. Plans and 3D views help us discuss the design, with early cost advice from a builder or quantity surveyor.

We work through the architecture and interiors in detail, including kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and materials. We coordinate consultant input and review updated cost advice before moving into documentation.

Where a planning permit is needed, we prepare the application and respond to council’s requests, discussing any changes with you. Planning may overlap with design work; the outcome and timing depend on council’s assessment.

We prepare the drawings, schedules and specification needed to price and build the work. We help you compare builder proposals, including their scope, exclusions and price, before you choose a builder.

We administer the building contract, visit periodically, answer design queries and assess claims and changes. We keep you informed as work progresses. The builder manages construction and the site.

We inspect the work, record outstanding items and assess practical completion under the contract. We then review defects rectification and the final account during the agreed defects period.
