A low cost architectural advisory service for the South West
Many enquiries I receive through my business are from callers looking for a solution to a specific home design dilemma.
Sometimes it’s feedback on a design solution prepared by another professional. Or a minor project such as a kitchen renovation starts to overwhelm as the many decisions required begin to mount up.
Choices around materials, colours and finishes is bewildering - even for the experts. The vision and insight to bring together a number of products, finishes and furnishings in a cohesive, resolved fashion requires experience and skill.
Having assisted many clients with these issues as part of the comprehensive architectural services I offer for larger, more complex projects, it has become apparent that many homeowners may also benefit from a more targeted and specified service to deal with the ‘ little challenges’.
So it is with great pleasure that I am launching a new innovative, low cost architectural advisory service to the South West.
By targeting, tailoring and prioritising the assistance being sought, it is possible to have the professional experience and advice of an architect working for you on your next project for as little as a few hundred dollars.
Following an initial enquiry, a free 1 hour preliminary consultation is provided at the client’s home, or on site to identify the extent of the project. This can include any or all of the typical home design challenges faced, such as:
- minor renovations and extensions
- assistance with coordination and selection of colour schemes for interiors and exteriors
- solutions to design dilemmas such as inadequate storage, lack of natural lighting , insufficient space and poorly resolved or tired kitchen and bathroom layouts.
- advice on practical cost effective solutions for improving thermal performance , energy efficiency and the installation of new technologies for solar water heating and power generation.
This consultation will establish your priorities - based on your budget, the cost benefits and a feasibility assessment of suggested options.
A fixed ‘Fee for Design’ service can then be tailored to suit a client’s particular requirements.
Over the coming months, this column will focus on the typical design dilemmas facing both renovators and new home owners and provide practical and cost effective suggestions and resources to ensure that your building project is as good as it can be!
