SERVICES
As Tailored House Designs is providing both design and construct part of the project, we understand how projects evolve, what parts our clients and their loved ones need to be aware of and which technical issues are left for us to deal with.
ARCHITECTURAL
STAGE 1
Initial client / designer meeting
During this stage, we conduct free of charge, onsite meeting with the clients, obtain the client brief in terms with what they would like to have on their block of land, client's ides, thoughts, wishes and budget. For Tailored House Designs, this is essential part, as we get to understand, not only the client’s expectations, but also for us to establish understanding of the site location, constraints, vistas, topography or any other point that will be beneficial to the future design.
STAGE 2
Site Survey and Statutory Requirement
Apart from the client brief, there are also number of statutory requirement as well as building regulations that must be analysed and integrated during any design stage. To accurately allocate location and the overall permissible area of the new proposed dwelling on the client site, we engage qualified surveyor, to survey the site and pinpoint the proper site boundaries, Lot area, topography, neighbouring properties and orientation of the site which is vital for any further design aspect.
STAGE 3
Concept Design
At this stage, we prepare schematic design and present it to the client for approval. Client’s may have additional thoughts on the concept design, request some alterations to best fit their needs and desires, As such, this stage may require some fine tuning, until the concept design matches client’s idea as well as all statutory requirements.
STAGE 4
Development Application
This is the mid stage of the documentation stage, whereby local authority (Council), gives written permission to the owner, agreeing that the application fits within their scope of proposal and that next step of approval can commence. Tailored House Designs submits all applications to the Council on behalf of owners with their consent, therefore the client can continue on, with their daily routines without the unnecessary hassles.
STAGE 5
Construction Certificate
Once the Development Application documentation is passed by the local authority (Council), there are usually conditions imposed by the Council which needs to be addressed for the next stage of the documentation, called Construction Certificate. In this stage, Tailored House Designs also engages services from the associated partners, such as Structural Engineer and in some cases, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing if the project requires it. Just like in the DA (Development Application) part, all submissions to the Council or the Private Certifier, is done by Tailored House Designs on behalf of the client with their consent.
STAGE 6
Finance Approval
This is most likely the most important stage of our client’s journey to their new dream home and perhaps the one that can be the most stressful as well. Tailored House Designs is working closely with our associated partner, that has more than 20 years’ experience in the filed of brokerage as well accreditation with 175 lending institutions within Australia. Their aim is to find the best product on the market that is tailored to our client’s financial situation as well as to assist them in this part of the journey.
STAGE 7
Construction
This is major milestone for both our clients and us, as this is the beginning of a construction stage and the actual birth of your future home. From the day that construction works commence on our client’s site, to the day that we hand over the keys to their new home, is a period of approximately 10 to 12 months. During this time, we divide the tasks into 6 basic stages, Clearing of the Site, Foundation and Slab Stage, Masonry and Framing Stage, Lockup Stage, Fit-Out and Fixing Stage, and finally Practical Completion Stage. During the entire duration of the construction, we make sure that our clients are well informed on the progress of their new house. We do this so that our clients can have an ease of mind, as well as to minimise any miscommunication.
