A thorough evaluation of your site's potential can be performed. This involves reviewing council and state regulations, assessing whether your project aligns with NSW Complying Development controls or is more appropriate for local Council requirements. The site can be analysed for zoning, maximum floor areas, building heights, flooding, bushfire risks, subdivision and typology.

PROJECT PROCUREMENT TO COMPLETION
Engaging an architect as the intermediary between the client and the builder throughout the tender process and construction brings many benefits. Although building can be a challenging journey, an architect can aid in decision-making, offer valuable timelines, keep everything organized, and use their expertise to advocate on your behalf, ensuring the best results for everyone involved.
