Planning Stage
The Planning Stage in architecture involves gathering requirements, analyzing the site, setting project goals, and addressing zoning, codes, and regulations. It lays the foundation for the design by establishing the project’s scope, timeline, budget, and feasibility, ensuring a clear and organized path forward.
Construction Stage
The Construction Stage is when the approved architectural plans are brought to life on-site. Contractors and builders execute the design, while architects may oversee the process to ensure the work aligns with specifications, codes, and quality standards. This phase ends with the completion and handover of the building.
Post Construction Stage
The Post-Construction Stage involves final inspections, client handover, and ensuring the building is fully operational. Architects may assist with occupancy permits, address any defects, and conduct follow-ups. This stage ensures the project meets all requirements and supports a smooth transition into use.

Modular and micro living represents a new approach to affordable home ownership through smart design and efficient construction. Modular construction uses prefabricated components built in controlled factory conditions, reducing construction time and costs while maintaining high quality. Micro living focuses on maximizing functionality within compact footprints—typically starting from 100m² land parcels—through intelligent space planning, integrated storage, and adaptable layouts. Unlike apartments, these homes include land ownership, can be reconfigured as your needs change, and offer the flexibility to expand over time.

We begin with an initial consultation to understand your site, budget, and vision. From there, we develop concept designs, refine them based on your feedback, and manage the development approval process. Once approved, we produce detailed construction documentation and can provide contract administration throughout the build. We keep you informed at every stage and work collaboratively to deliver outcomes that meet both your brief and budget.
Fees vary depending on project complexity, size, and scope of services required. We can work on a fixed fee basis for defined scopes, or hourly rates for smaller consultations and feasibility work. Contact us to discuss your project and we’ll provide a transparent fee proposal tailored to your specific needs.
Timelines depend on project complexity and approval requirements. A simple residential addition might take 3-4 months from concept to development approval, while larger multi-unit developments typically require 6-12 months for approvals alone. We’ll provide realistic timeframes during our initial consultation based on your specific project.
While we’re based in Perth and most of our work is in Western Australia, we’re open to discussing projects in other locations, particularly where our specialized expertise in medium-density and modular construction can add value. Contact us to discuss your project location.
