Residential service

Residential design

Develop the residential brief from everyday use, site conditions, applicable rules and the information required for pricing or construction.

The signed appointment and project agreement define included work, responsibilities, programme, price and acceptance.

Can include

  • Household-routine brief
  • Space planning
  • Design development
  • Material and detail intent
  • Consultant coordination requirements
  • Defined drawing or model issue

Decisions to make

  • Site information and surveys
  • Room relationships
  • Privacy, light and movement
  • Structure and services interfaces
  • Approval and issue purpose

Boundaries

  • Deliverables and design stage must be stated in the appointment.
  • Structural, MEP, geotechnical and statutory inputs require the appropriate project-specific professionals.
  • A planning diagram is not an approval or construction drawing.

Useful first inputs

  • Site or existing-home location
  • Current project stage
  • Household and priority needs
  • Available drawings, surveys or approvals
  • Timing and commercial expectations

Scope this appointment

Bring the current information and unresolved questions.

The first discussion identifies what must be verified before design, pricing or construction can be confirmed.
