Process

From first conversation to building permit.

A structured approach that keeps design, planning and documentation moving in the right order — adapted to the scale and requirements of each project.

  1. 01

    Initial Discussion

    Understand the site, project goals and requirements.

  2. 02

    Site & Project Review

    Review relevant site information, planning considerations and project constraints.

  3. 03

    Concept Design

    Develop the overall design direction.

  4. 04

    Design Development

    Refine layout, form, functionality and project requirements.

  5. 05

    Planning & Consultant Coordination

    Coordinate planning and required specialist inputs where applicable.

  6. 06

    Detailed Documentation

    Prepare detailed building design documentation.

  7. 07

    Building Permit Coordination

    Prepare and coordinate documentation required for the building permit process.

Every project is different. Stages may be combined, expanded or reordered, and the pathway a project follows will vary depending on its scale, site and planning requirements.
