Silver – Masterplan Concept Design

Our Silver Masterplan Concept Design Service is our clients next step after the Design Advice Service and it provides insight into lifestyle enhancing benefits of a proposed concept design for our clients. This service has been created to provide clarity for our clients who initially only require a concept drawing and costings for future planning and to allow them to make clearer choices in regard to the direction of their project.

In this service, our architects will prepare a Return Brief (Summary of Requirements) as a written document for your approval, then we will put pen to paper and create your unique architectural concept design in our Step 2 Concept Design. This will ensure that you have a good foundation at the beginning of your architectural journey for the home of your dreams.

Existing Drawings (if renovating) of your house will be prepared by us as an additional service prior to our Silver Masterplan Concept Design Service. A spot level and contour survey of your external grounds will also be required. We will coordinate any required sub-consultants partners for your convenience.
