From here we can begin to align our expectations and establish a mutual understanding of your lifestyle aspirations, set realistic project goals and hypothesis design outcomes.
No two projects are ever the same and as such, we strive to get to know each other and tailor our services to suit your needs.

Feasibility Study & Scenario Evaluation
This service offers particular value to clients whom are considering multiple options. Perhaps you are weighing up a new-build vs renovation, exploring subdivision scenarios or wanting to understand your blocks capacity for duplex and/or multi-unit development?
We help to put those ideas on paper and refine a specific brief to give you additional clarity on viable arrangement scenarios, budgeting or the maximum development capacity of the block.
This process is also a very useful tool to assist all parties in developing mutual understanding and ensuring clarity, prior committing to the process.
