Pre-Contract:

Site Investigation and develop Design brief

We will identify the constraints on the site that will impact the project as well as the clients brief for function and style.

Quote

We will prepare a quote (not fixed) to give you an understanding of the budget requirements of your project. This can be used for pre-approval with your bank or to adjust the scope if needed to match your budget.

Tender and Plan Preparation

After you pay the deposit, we will start preparing the formal tender. This will involve ordering a survey, completing plans and any other relevant reports such as Geotech or Bushfire etc. The goal is to allow for the costs as accurately as we can, however, some costs like council requirements or latent conditions underground cannot be estimated at this stage.
