Concept Design
Our team of Architects love drawing and designing stuff – that’s what we are best at! We love talking to our clients and understanding what they want from a building or space and then shaping that understanding into a viable concept design and in turn reality.
Outline Design & Planning
Taking a concept design and turning it into reality is one of the most exciting parts of our job and we enjoy producing architectural 2D/3D CAD drawings to our clients that ‘sell’ the idea as well as make sure that what we are drawing is actually deliverable.
Detailed Design & Code Compliance
After getting planning permission – it is the time to make sure that it’s rightly designed from a technical perspective. We use architectural design software tools like AutoCAD, 3D MAX, Revit to get best outline design which would serve as the foundation for your building construction.
