Schematic Design
The selected option from concept design is further developed to form our base plans which are then further developed with 3d modelling and renders. At this stage you gain a great insight into how the architecture will sit within the landscape, what the building as a whole looks like and potential material selections.
Once you are comfortable with the design we can start preliminary discussions with local planning authorities. We have found that by working closely with council when we lodge the planning application there are no surprises and unexpected conditions to the permit.
At the completion of this stage it is also possible to obtain a ballpark estimate from a builder or a cost planning consultant to ensure we are on track with your budget.
