Your opportunity to speak to our practice principal. Put your project on the right track by getting great advice before you commit. 

 

The whole picture

You don't get an opportunity to build everyday and naturally you will want the best outcome. There are many exciting opportunities, but there are also challenges, particularly with a historic building.

Project delivery can be a lengthy and complex process so it is important to break it down into manageable stages. We will explain what will happen as you progress from one stage to the next. We will explain what information will be required for council approvals and what information you will need to give to contractors and how to get the best price and quality for your project. You will have opportunities to change and refine your ideas along the way, but remember, at each stage the amount of time and effort to make the change will increase, as will the cost.

The Cost of Changes to Your Project

An understanding of the process will help you to avoid unnecessary costs. If you discover that your project is not going to fulfil your requirements and you need to make a late change, there are going to be consequences. You will either have to find additional funds, or you will have to leave something else out. The later you discover the problem, the bigger the disappointment is going to be.
