Process
Eight Stages. You See the Ones That Apply to You.
A complete building design runs the full sequence. Engage us for part of it and the rest simply isn't shown. Your progress view only ever contains the stages we're working on.
Enquiry
We establish the scope, the site constraints and what you already hold. If you already have a soil report or a survey, that stage is marked as provided by you rather than re-charged.
Site Survey
Levels, boundaries and existing structures recorded. Everything downstream is measured from this, so it's worth getting right before design starts.
Site & Drainage Plan
Prepared for planning lodgement, coordinating the footprint with levels, stormwater and setbacks.
Site Soil Test
Investigation and classification under AS 2870. Reactive clay is common across metropolitan Adelaide, and the classification changes the footing design materially, not marginally.
Footing Design
The footing and slab system designed to the classification and the structure it will carry.
Structural Design
Beams, framing, retaining structures and connections, documented to a standard a builder can actually construct from.
Review
Independent internal review before anything is issued. Nothing leaves this office unchecked, and the reviewer's verdict is recorded against the job.
Certification
Signed structural documentation issued for building consent. The file stays with us, so when you come back for the next stage nothing has to be repeated.
Progress
You Won't Have to Ring and Ask.
Every client gets a login. Jobs are grouped by address, so a builder with several sites sees all of them in one list, each showing the stage it's currently at and the documents already issued. You choose how often we email you an update.
