Process
-
From the beginning, we test whether a prefabricated approach will work for you and your site. Early testing provides a level of certainty about using this method of delivery before we move onto the next stages of design. We don’t recommend skipping this step.
-
We take the time to find out what you’re planning - we want to know how you live, work or play, what you value and where your building is going to be. These conversations form the backbone of the design.
-
As we develop your concept design, prefabrication principles are applied from day one. We work openly with our industry consultants and connections to ensure the concept we develop for you is sustainable, buildable, transportable and achievable within budget.
-
Once your concept design is heading in the right direction, the next step is to prepare drawings for a Planning Approval with your local council. If approval is granted, more detailed drawings can then be developed to enable lump-sum pricing by a prefabrication supplier.
-
We can assist you in getting your project priced by several prefabrication suppliers - not just one - giving you greater choice, flexibility and cost control, with minimal compromise to the design.
-
As you start to work with your preferred supplier, we’re happy to stay in the picture. Our role here would be to review construction drawings and check on progress of the build in the manufacturing yard to make sure your project stays true to the original design intent.
“Jemma has been helping us navigate the world of prefabrication in some of our residential projects - her Feasibility Studies are detailed, transparent and not necessarily always good news, which is a testament to her honest, no-nonsense approach.”
