Clients can engage Threadgold Architecture + Construction directly for a building inspection or through your real estate agent/broker for a design consultation which is an ideal way to commence a project if you’re unsure of your options. The practice can meet on-site to discuss your budget, lifestyle, spatial requirements and options for your home and site. A brief conversation can assist you to work out your best course of action and give you the confidence to proceed with the project. The areas to explore at the initial meeting include:
design consultation
design options
- does the building inspection evidence the existing building fabric be made more energy efficient/sustainable?
- should the renovation increase your house horizontally or add vertically – or both?
- what would be the most cost effective construction system?
building budget
- is the building budget realistic to satisfy the architectural brief ?
lifestyle discussion
- current lifestyle
- future plans and lifestyle changes
- optimizing energy efficiency
development approval application
- will local planning scheme and policy controls affect the design?
- what will be the time frame for the project?
- is renovation, demolition and rebuilding or selling and moving elsewhere the best option?
Threadgold Architecture + Construction shall provide a written report, summarizing the discussion, building inspection and meeting with associated project recommendations for next stage. A Design Consultation or building inspection will help you to explore the possibilities and to decide if the preferred course of action is right. For example, if a new home, alterations and additions or a small development is feasible, you are able to upgrade to a Design Consultation fee shall be deducted. If moving into an established home is the preferred option, we provide a property inspection of the home (or maybe renovation advice prior to purchase).
