Project Brief.


The Project Brief service is for you—the head honcho and instigator of your custom build or renovation—if you are about to kick-off your home build or renovations and additions project. Throughout four sessions, we’ll align your hopes and dreams with real feasibility and clearly communicated intentions. Because here’s the truth: vague intentions lead to vague outcomes. So it’s important that we get clear and communication your intentions to your potential design and building team.

As the driver of your project, it’s your responsibility to steer it in the right direction. This service equips you with the strategic and creative direction you need to take full control, ensuring your vision becomes a reality.

What is it.

How does it works.


In just four sessions, delivered in as little as one month, we’ll transform your ideas into a detailed strategic and creative vision, ready to guide your design and building team.

Session 1: Discovery
We begin by exploring your hopes and dreams for the project—the ideal size, style, and cost you envision—while also understanding the unique parameters of your site and existing conditions.

Session 2: Feasibility
Next, we take your hopes and dreams and apply real, industry-based statistics to test their viability. This includes evaluating the timeline, size, extent of works, and predicted costs to paint you a realistic picture of the your likely investment.

Session 3: Strategy
Is the anticipated cost and timeline as you expected? It’s common for projects to exceed initial expectations, but don’t stress. We’ll refine and realign your project’s direction, balancing your time, budget, and energy with a feasible and successful outcome.

Session 4: Project Brief
In this final session, we prepare a detailed Project Brief Document that conveys both the strategic and creative direction of your project in a combination of text descriptions, graphs & photographs that communicate the desired look and feel of your future home.

Deliverables.
