The Architectural Process - Site Analysis
This stage involves deciphering opportunities and constraints within the proposed site.
An analysis of local authority regulations, Resource Consent requirements, orientation, views, levels, heritage implications, legal requirements, relationship with neighbouring sites and available utilities and service routes all help give everyone some certainty with which to make decisions on the direction in which project should go.
A survey of levels and boundaries is required in all but the most simple of site situations. We facilitate the engagement of a land surveyor to provide this information by briefing them on what is required. We will survey any existing buildings on the site by measuring, drawing and taking photos.
We will also assist in the decision on whether to engage a geotech engineer to gather soils condition information and, if so, at which stage.
Of course all this information can be of great benefit in deciding whether or not to buy a site in the first place.
