We offer a series of client research tools and pre-engagement services which are designed specifically to help you put things into perspective and add clarity to the path forward.
Initial Client Consultation Sessions
This is the first step on the road to successful completion of your project. We discuss your ideas, your concerns, your budget, your lifestyle goals and your block.
This is an entirely no obligation service, we aim to establish an understanding of your overall project requirements and provide you with a professional perspective on your options.
" We place great value on quality, healthy communication from the earliest stages of your project"
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.

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.
