The Architectural Process - Initial Discussion
For a potential new project we normally meet with clients for an initial no-obligation discussion. This allows both parties to get a measure of each other while discussing the project. The meeting can either be at our office or in your current home/work environment or at the potential site.
We will take you through our general design philosophies and illustrate how these have been applied to previous projects. We also like to see any images of architectural work that you admire from any source.
The information below is intended to give an indicative outline of the process involved in procuring a building (especially a house for a private client) in New Zealand. Our services are customised to suit clients' needs so at an initial meeting we would discuss the services required specific to your project and the fees that we would charge.
The building process can be a complicated one and part of our job is to advise the client when they should use other specialist consultants . Taking advice from specialists early in a project can often save money and time in the longer term.
Depending on the complexity of the project we can provide some initial feasibility information about building costs, programme and site suitability in this first meeting. This is covered in more detail in the Pre-Design section.
