Your home is a reflection of your personality and at times a standard home design won't necessarily suit your lifestyle. Whether your looking for something extravagant or something understated, J.A. Design & Drafting will create a custom design that will reflect your individuality, suit the location and enhance your lifestyle.
Depending on the type of project you are considering undertaking, an appointment will be made with you and the designer at our office or on site.
At the first site meeting the , site measurements, determine if a survey will be required, take photographs and discuss with you in detail what your requirements are for your design/alteration.
From here, a Contract Document will be prepared based on the information you have provided, and will be forwarded to you within 7 days of the appointment for you to review and accept.
Based on the Client Brief and local council requirements, we will start the design process with a basic outline of design as discussed in the initial consultation to provide a concept design that will suite your expectations and reflect the unique nature of the site, surrounding views and local weather patterns.
The initial concept drawings will consist of Site Plan, Floor Plan, and 3d Perspectives, then we will progressively fill in the detail with you at the next consultation. At this stage revisions and changes are possible. J.A.Design & Drafting provide 2 separate design developments to the plans within the scope of the Client Brief.
When a reasonable concept is arrived at, you will have received a set of floor plans, external perspectives, some internal perspective, basic roof plan and section.
Once the concept & developed plans have been modified and an overall design solution reached, the drawings will then be increased to indicate finishes, building materials and so forth (Site Plan, Floor Plan, Elevations, Section and 3D Perspectives).
