    Getting to know you

    We discuss how you want to live, the space you need, your budget and your preferred schedule. If you already have a plot, we review the available plans and site information.

    For you Your wishes and initial questions are clearly defined.

  2. 02

    Understanding the plot

    I explore the building options, orientation, access and relationship with neighbours and the garden. We discuss any further information or studies needed.

    For you You know which options we can develop further.

  3. 03

    Sketching and making choices

    I draw an initial layout and develop the building volumes. Together, we review the sketches and refine the rooms, daylight, materials and connection to outdoors.

    For you You see your home taking shape and help decide the next version.

    Preparing the permit application

    Once the design choices are made, I prepare the plans and application documents. I follow up the application and discuss any questions or changes with you.

    For you You know what is being submitted and what comes next.

  5. 05

    Developing construction details

    We turn the design into construction drawings and details. Where needed, we coordinate with other building professionals and discuss quotations within the agreed scope.

    For you The design becomes detailed enough to prepare construction.

  6. 06

    Site supervision and completion

    During the agreed site visits, I check the work, discuss points requiring attention and record my findings. At handover, we review any outstanding items together.

    For you You keep an overview of construction and the items still to be completed.

This is the usual process. At the outset, we agree which stages, studies and support your project needs.
