CONCEPT DESIGN PLANS
Commence your project by leveraging our concept design services. This pivotal initial first step that translates your ideas into tangible blueprints, providing the groundwork for your desired outcome. Embrace this invaluable process to refine / finalise key aspects such as layout, materials, locations, and spatial arrangements.
What can a concept design be used for:
● Builders Costs and Estimations
Allow for a accurate preliminary quote to confirm build costs are within budget.
● Finalise the Design
This ensures you and your contractors are all on the same page.
● Accelerate the Drawing Process
By solidifying the details early on. While there's flexibility for adjustments in subsequent stages of your design documentation, ensuring thorough documentation upfront minimizes timeframes for approval and construction.
● Forecast Approval Requirements Anticipate constraints upfront. Design a compliant project that streamlines the approval process.
WORKING DRAWINGS
With your concept design plans (Finalised and Resolved Design) in hand, we will proceed to create the Working Drawings necessary for both approval and construction purposes.
These detailed plans encompass providing comprehensive information on local department planning regulations alongside proposed construction methodologies. Additionally, we meticulously ensure that the design documentation adheres to national construction codes and Australian standards. This meticulous approach is vital to ensure accessibility and feasibility for your builder, contractors, and suppliers, facilitating the smooth progression of your project.
Working drawing sets consist of:
(Generally but not limited to)
● Site Plan
● Floor & Roof Plans
● Elevations
● Sections / Construction Details
● Door & Window Schedules
Based on the specific local planning regulations, additional details may be necessary for your drawing set. Leveraging our extensive expertise and understanding, we customize each Working Drawing Set to precisely align with the requirements of the applicable area. This tailored approach ensures compliance and clarity, enhancing the effectiveness of your project documentation.
APPROVAL COORDINATION SERVICES
Here at Praeditos Designs we understand the approval process for your project can be overwhelming and daunting. For this we offer our approval coordination services that can take the stress out of getting your project ready from construction. With our experience with the ACT Environment Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) and local and remote Australian Councils, we can have your project lodged with all required supporting documentation efficiently.
Why engage us for your lodgment?
● Time and Cost Reduction
Allowing experienced designers to undertake this process can reduce costs and waiting times on development approvals and certification. This allows your project to reach construction sooner.
● Expertise and Efficiencies
As designers, we possess the expertise and proficiency to create technical diagrams required for the approval process. Additionally, we are adept at generating a handful of reports and statements in-house. This allows for quicker lodgment times and a hands on approach to requests for further information.
