The Drafting Process

Phase 1 Consultation

We talk to you about what you need and what you want from your building. We consider function, character, image, space and all the other factors that affect the design of your factory and office area. We will do a site analysis, find the best location on site for your building, and determine the scope of construction, budget and schedule.

Phase 2 Design

This is the brainstorming phase. We develop concept diagrams and sketches to determine the general layout, form and overall appearance of your building. Developments are designed to maximise floor area, and therefore rental value. We will provide you with a number of options to consider.

Phase 3 Re-assessment

Sketches are drawn up and we hold discussions with both you and the relevant council. Designs are checked to ensure they meet your requirements.

Phase 4 Town Planning

Drawings are submitted to the council, who will assess the design. Recommendations may be made and amendments requested. Once amended plans are submitted and all council requirements are met, the council will issue Town Planning Approval.

Phase 5 Design Development

We produce the drawings needed to obtain a building permit � plans, elevations and section drawings, etc. We translate the construction documentation and working drawings into the technical language of the contractor. These drawings and specifications detail all of the materials required, where they are to be located and how they are to be installed. We ensure that the work meets all the requirements of the Building Code of Australia and that local council regulations are met.

The Phase 6 Coordination

Engineering computations are produced for roof beams, slab designs and retaining walls etc. We make all contact with the engineer to assist with any technical information that may be required, and consult with you when necessary.

The Phase 7 Final

We provide the building surveyor with all the documentation necessary to obtain the building permit.
