Q - Will I need other consultants?
A - For a small renovation or simple new house you may not, otherwise for most projects you will probably require one or more of the following:
- Surveyor - provides a topography plan showing site levels, contours and existing features
- Structural Engineer - provides design and calculation of specific building elements. (such as foundations, beams and bracing)
- Quantity Surveyor - prepares project cost estimates at developed design and/or working drawing stage
- Interiors Architect/Colour Consultant/Kitchen Consultant/Lighting design
- Landscape Designer
- Energy Assessment
- Other specialist consultants (Services, Geo Technical, Fire, etc) as required
We usually arrange these consultants on your behalf
Q - Where do you work?
A - Most of our work is undertaken locally on the Kapiti Coast and greater Wellington area. We also appreciate and enjoy the opportunity and challenge of working in other regions. With CAD drawing and the internet this is a straight forward process.
Q - Do you arrange the builder?
A - Yes we are happy to do this locally, as we have established good relationships with a number of reputable and experienced builders. In other areas we would ask for recommendations from our colleagues in ADNZ. We prefer a negotiated or design/build type contract arranged with one of our recommended builders or with a builder you have arranged. We can also facilitate putting the job out for tender.
