Pre-design Service

The first step in your architecture project

What is pre-design?

Welcome to our Pre-Design Service. We’re here to lay the foundation for your dream home project, providing expert guidance and insights from the very beginning. From site evaluation to budgeting, we ensure you’re well-prepared to make informed decisions for your future home.

Site visit and consultation
We will conduct an on-site visit to gain a comprehensive understanding of your vision. During this consultation, we will engage in a detailed discussion of your objectives and any specific requirements you may have in mind.
Site evaluation
Our team will conduct a meticulous survey of your property. Our assessment will encompass key factors such as lot dimensions, utility, accessibility, topography, and the surrounding environment.
Zoning Analysis
We will conduct a thorough examination of the local zoning regulations and codes. This analysis is instrumental in defining the permissible construction parameters for your property.
Massing concept
Utilising advanced technology, we will craft a precise 3D model representing your home. This model serves as a critical tool for determining spatial allocation on each floor and establishing height limitations.
Timeline and budget
Programming & budgeting
Our experts will develop a comprehensive layout plan for your living spaces. Additionally, we will provide you with an initial cost estimate and an approximate project timeline.
