About us

We design builder friendly sets of plans that are budget realistic and help prevent cost overruns.

What sets us apart

We're an architectual design company with years of building experience.

Understanding of Building Code & Local Regulations

We have a deep understanding of the New Zealand building code and regulations, which ensures that the building design is compliant with local standards and safety requirements.

Technical Knowledge

With building experience, we have a better understanding of construction techniques and materials, allowing us to design structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

Problem Solving Skills

Building experience allows us to anticipate and solve potential problems before they arise during the construction process, leading to a smoother and more efficient building process.

Effective Communication

We are strong communicators, and we maintain strong relationships with third party contractors, engineers, and local councils, ensuring your journey to consent is as seamless as possible.

Cost-Efficiency

We are fully aware of the cost of materials, labour, and other factors that go into a build and make informed decisions to keep costs under control.

We understand both the theoretical and practical aspects of building design.

This knowledge helps us identify potential challenges and provide solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also functional and cost-effective.

With hands-on experience, we can effectively communicate with contractors and ensure that our designs are translated accurately into the build.

This leads to better coordination and fewer mistakes, reducing the likelihood of delays and cost overruns.

Throughout the design process, we make informed decisions based on our vast knowledge of the building code, materials and construction methods, resulting in a safer, more efficient, and higher quality final project.

Scott's experience in the industry and vast knowledge of the building code show through in these designs, with the selections of materials and construction systems being carefully thought out and fit for purpose.
