Renovation Northcote

In a nutshell

The Pre Design phase lays the foundations for the project through due diligence preparation and research. We gather all information relevant to you and your site. This stage includes a site visit so we can start to assess opportunities and constraints. We are also here to listen to your story and create the best environment to embrace, nurture and facilitate your future growth.

For alterations and additions projects, we create a model of the existing dwelling and include any site features and contours. We may include adjoining building context to assist with understanding constraints.

We will prepare an existing conditions energy rating to identify opportunities to increase thermal performance
