A Low-Cost Way to Start Planning
Concept plans are particularly useful before committing to expensive site-specific construction drawings. They can help you:
- Discuss your project with builders
- Obtain preliminary building quotations
- Compare different builders
- Explore design and layout ideas
- Determine whether the design suits your needs
- Plan modifications before proceeding to full construction documentation
Owning your plan also gives you the flexibility to discuss the same design with different builders rather than being tied to a builder-owned design.
Need Changes to the Tranquil Nook?
We can customise the design to better suit your requirements.
Send us your notes, sketch or marked-up floor plan, and we can prepare a customised version.
Changes could include room sizes, doors and windows, kitchen layouts, patios, façade treatments and other design modifications.
Upgrade to Full Construction Plans
When you are ready to move beyond the concept stage, ask us about upgrading to a Full
Construction Plan Set.
Full construction documentation can provide the additional architectural information required for the next stages of your project. Local engineering, certification, energy assessments and site-specific requirements may still be required depending on your location.
Important – Concept Plan
This package is supplied as a concept/preliminary house plan and should not be considered a site-specific building approval, engineering or permit package.
Before construction, the design should be reviewed and adapted as required for your property, local building regulations, structural requirements, soil conditions, wind classification, bushfire requirements, energy regulations and other site-specific conditions.
