Affordable Architecture Design Services
To make use of our custom architecture design service is easy, quick and efficient. Just contact us by visiting our “Contact Us” page today and fill in the basic information regarding your project. One of our architecture design consultants will contact you to obtain the necessary information so that we can prepare a preliminary quote. Once the quote is accepted in principle, we will arrange consultation or delivery of additional information as part of the briefing phase. Once we’re satisfied with all the information provided, we will then review or confirm the initial quote before the actual work can proceed. Our custom design process is divided into three phases. Here are the usual work and payment phases to be followed:
Stage 1: Inception (20% fees payable @ acceptance of the quote)
Receive, appraise and report on the client‘s requirements with regard to:
- The Brief – We conduct an in-depth discussion to ascertain the client’s custom architecture design requirements
- Conduct an analysis of the site. Among other factors, this will include consideration of the plot’s topography, access, orientation, views, vegetation, soil type, local precedents, etc.
NB. Given today’s technological advances and readily available online information, for most plots, a site visit is NOT necessary in order to obtain the above information
- The budget – We start with the project budget in mind and review the client’s requirements and choices against the budget.
- We peruse the applicable municipal town planning and HOA rights and constraints applicable to the site.
- Where applicable, advise on the need for other consultants (ie. Structural engineer, quantity surveyor, etc.)
- Provide a project programme. We advise the client on the estimated timelines regarding the various architectural stages. These will include the following:-
- Preliminary Designs
- Revisions (if any)
- Provision of Detailed Drawings
Stage 2: Concept & Design Development (60% fees payable @ approval of design schematics)
Prepare an initial design clearly indicating the following:
- Intended space provisions, floor layout and planning relationships

- the technical and functional characteristics of the design
- Design review and revision (if any).
- Approval of the design schematics by the client.
* All Design schematics are emailed to the client for review and subsequent approval. Any architecture design inputs are well communicated with the client. The client can also submit the schematics to their HOA (where applicable)
Stage 3: Construction Working Drawings (20% fees payable @ completion of Detailed Drawings)
