Design and Build Process

We’re always excited to gain insight into our clients’ vision and help bring your ideas to life through our resilient design solutions. Once you have selected one of our architectural designs and completed the enquiry form, we’ll contact you for a Free Virtual or In-person meeting to discuss the initial consultation and guide you through the building approval process.

During our initial consultation, we will walk you through an overview of the building approval process, covering key aspects such as timeframes and fee structures. We will also discuss any custom specifications you wish to incorporate in your project, ensuring that our resilient design solutions meet your needs.

After our initial consultation, if you decide to move forward, we enter a Preliminary Agreement. This agreement allows us to begin the building approval process by conducting initial investigations of your site. These investigations include collaborating with our external consultants, evaluating your site's zoning and overlays, as well as researching relevant Council regulations and State guidelines to provide resilient design solutions.

After gaining clarity on your vision during the initial consultation and considering any site constraints, we provide you with a tailored creative design concept that aligns with your lifestyle and budget, along with resilient design solutions. Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll finalise the formal contract necessary for the building approval process before proceeding to the next stage.

Depending on the state your project is located in, we conduct an initial consultation with an Energy Assessment Consultant, BASIX, or NatHERS Consultant to determine the construction requirements of your site. From there, we oversee and coordinate the documentation necessary for the building approval process, such as a Construction Certificate, and produce working drawings based on the approved design drawings, implementing resilient design solutions for building approval.
