Our Architectural Service Packages:
We offer three “Packages” of architectural services: Package A, Package B and Package C. Below is a description of each Package and a table summarising what is included in each:
A. Design and Building Permits
This package is suitable for owner builders and owners who wish to allow their builder to interpret design intent.
B. Design and Full Documentation
This package is suitable for owners who intend to work directly with their builder during construction, but who want a more thorough and accurate contract documentation. These details can assist the builder in achieving a more refined result, and they can remove the ambiguities often present with less detailed packages.
C. Full Architectural Service
This package is suitable for owners wanting a professional to be involved in their project from start to finish.
