PROJECT PROCUREMENT TO COMPLETION
I also recommend to clients that it is helpful to have an architect be the middle man between the builder and themselves. Building can become very stressful, and when it comes to money and decisions it is worthwhile having an advocate, who understands the issues that may arise. And guide you through the process to get the best outcome for you.
BUSHFIRE PRONE SITE -
ALL BAL LEVELS
Living near the Australian bush is undoubtedly one of the most attractive and special places to reside.
Southworth Architects are experienced in managing the demands of design, complex fire standards & requirements in the Australian bush. Be weary of buying a site in a Bushfire prone land, getting a Bal Certificate is highly recommend before going through with a sale. I can connect you with trustworthy Bushfire Assessment Consultants. Bal levels are constantly getting more conservative and making it more expensive to build.
