What We Offer
-
The ARCHDES All-Inclusive Service provides a fully considered architectural experience from concept through to building consent. Beginning with the ARCHDES Concept & Vision Box, we establish one clear design direction through tailored concepts, immersive visuals, and a polished presentation.
Through UnifiedBuild™, ARCHDES acts as your lead consultant and single point of contact, coordinating the required design consultants, timelines, and documentation on your behalf. We can also assist with builder selection and early contractor involvement to support accurate pricing, value engineering, and a smooth transition into construction.
The result is one coordinated team, one streamlined process, and highly resolved, construction-ready documentation - helping reduce uncertainty, delays, and unnecessary costs while giving you confidence at every stage.
-
A streamlined, cost-effective architectural service—focused on delivering exactly what’s required, and nothing more.
This option is designed to provide clear, compliant documentation for building consent, without the added layers of a full architectural service. No frills—just practical, well-resolved drawings that do the job.
We work alongside your chosen trades, coordinating where needed to keep the process efficient, straightforward, and moving forward.
Simple. Compliant. Fit for purpose.

Our Process
01 · Pre-Design & Site Visit
Before we begin the concept plans, we will meet you on site to get to know you, understand what you want to achieve, and take a good look at the property. During this visit we will also put together an initial design brief that will guide the project from the start.
04 · Detailed Design
We then produce the full detailed plans and supporting documents needed for building consent. This is where we go through everything carefully and focus on creating high quality documentation to help ensure a smooth and efficient consent process and build.
02 · Concept Design
This stage involves developing conceptual design ideas based on the design brief created during the pre-design phase. These concepts help you assess the project’s viability, understand the site’s potential, and decide which overall direction you want to pursue.
05 · Consent Management
When the plans are ready, we submit your building consent application to the local council. While the consent is being processed, we can also help you finalise your builder and contractors.
03 · Preliminary Design
We take your concept and develop it further, creating the plans needed for consultants such as interior designers, engineers, and frame and truss suppliers. Once refined, we move into Developed Design and begin coordinating with your builder or recommending trusted industry partners.
06 · Project Management
If you choose the service, we oversee the project from planning through to completion. This includes coordinating timelines, budgets, communication, and quality control to help make sure everything runs smoothly and meets your expectations.
Project Fees
Every project is different, so our architectural fees are tailored to the specific requirements of your site, design, and desired level of service. Factors such as project size, complexity, scope, consultant requirements, and the level of documentation involved all influence the overall fee.
We begin with an initial consultation to understand your vision, priorities, budget, site conditions, and intended project outcomes. From there, we prepare a clear, project-specific fee proposal outlining the recommended services, key deliverables, and associated costs—so you understand what is included before work begins.
Depending on your project and preferred service pathway, fees may be structured as a fixed price, based on time and cost, or calculated as a percentage of the anticipated construction cost. If the project scope changes along the way, any potential fee implications will be discussed with you before additional work proceeds.
Our goal is to provide clarity from the outset, with a fee structure that reflects the expertise, coordination, and resources required to deliver your project successfully.
