Our Client enquiries continue to seek expert architectural design guidance on what type of building is appropriate for their future.
BEING CLEVER……….
Here are some options:
- FIRST HOME BUYERS – get ahead of the market and seek a devalued property that enables improvements to be made in an informed and possibly staged manner. Seek an independent Archicentre Australia architect to provide you with a “master plan” by way of a Renovation Feasibility Design service – then proceed from there…………..
- YOU OWN A HOME – “the devil you know” – regardless of its condition, give it the benefit of the doubt before you discount it as a viable option for retention. Seek an independent Archicentre Australia architect to provide you with a “master plan” by way of a Renovation Feasibility Design service – then proceed from there…………..
- DOWN SIZING – before you are sure this is a good idea, consider mothballing part of your house – and improving a part you will use for the longer term. Often, the urban setting and social contacts make it painful to depart a place you enjoy and have nurtured. Seek an independent Archicentre Australia architect to provide you with a “master plan” by way of a Renovation Feasibility Design service – then proceed from there…………..
Each of these scenarios put YOU – the home owner – at the centre.
YOU control the process with the assistance of an independent architect as a design expert and broker between you and the building industry.
Archicentre Australia is promoting this approach by highlighting its services – described by “Property Design” options – either a Design Consultation service, Renovation Feasibility Design service or New Home Feasibility Design service.
DON’TS……….
Discount consideration of new apartments, volume built houses or superficially renovated houses/apartments. These are risky. Amenity may be compromised – even in the short term – landing you with upgrades that you thought were behind you.
Inherent construction is often found wanting…….tales of leaking balconies, leaking shower recesses, lack of aural separation, cracking floor slabs and consequential defects such as collapsing ceilings.
If you are tied to an “Off The Plan” arrangement or have adopted this approach – at least have the place checked out by means of a Property Assessment Report service carried out by an independent Archicentre Australia architect in order to seek a degree of Control.
