Turning Design into Reality.

The Approvals

By the time the completed project drawings are finalised, the approvals process is typically nearing completion. When the consultants have been engaged from the concept phase, there should be minimal surprises for all parties involved.

At this stage, it becomes a matter of waiting for the assessing entities to review the project and issue the necessary approvals. Having the consultants involved from the early stages of the project ensures that any potential issues or concerns are addressed and resolved proactively.

This collaborative approach helps streamline the approvals process and minimises unexpected hurdles. While waiting for the assessing entities to complete their review, it is important to remain patient and allow the necessary time for the approvals to be granted.

Once the approvals are obtained, the project can progress to the next phase, which is the construction stage.

The Build

From this point forward, you begin dealing with the builder directly. If the initial quote comes in too high for your budget, it is advisable to engage your designer to work closely with the builder, ensuring changes to the project are kept in keeping with the original scope and design intent. This is specifically vital on compact footprint designs, as the smallest change can have ripple effects to other aspects of the design.
