A Home Design Concept Can Make your New Home a Showpiece.

‘Architect Designed’ could add thousands to your home’s value.

Building your own home is a huge commitment and a very exciting one. You might even be having trouble envisioning it. Have you considered how the spaces relate? Are you building more space than you really need? How do you integrate the outdoor entertaining area? Is there enough natural daylight? How can I maximise the future sale price? Can it be made sustainable?

If you’re an owner builder with big ideas, an Archicentre Design Concept can help you tie all your ideas together to make your vision a reality.

Think an Architect’s design is beyond your budget? It’s more affordable than you might think!

There’s a misconception that an ‘Architect Designed’ renovation, extension or new home is expensive. In fact, having an Archicentre Accredited Architect provide early input into your home renovation is more affordable than you might think, and could add thousands to the value of your home and save you money as well!

For an affordable fixed cost, an Archicentre Accredited Architect will assess:

• The feasibility of your project,
• How it might look at completion,
• Most importantly, if it is likely to fit your budget,
• Consider future maintenance costs, and
• Look at the most efficient way of building it.

You may also discover, like many others, that being able to class your home as ‘Architect Designed’ can add thousands of dollars in value to your new home.

Highly qualified and independent design advice.

We DO NOT build homes or undertake renovations ourselves, so you can rest assured that the advice and recommendations that you will receive will not be influenced by how much profit we might make on a future construction project. Your advice will be completely independent and objective to provide you with the information required helping you decide on your best course of action.

We take the hassle out of selecting a design expert. Nationally, we have over 800 accredited architects from which to select the most appropriate architect for you.

The Home Design Concept Process

An Archicentre Accredited Architect will meet with you to discuss your needs and provide you with a design concept that considers your unique requirements, environmental and regulatory aspects and many other matters.

A well considered design can save you money with efficient use of space and the effective selection of construction type, materials, finishes and project delivery system as well as potentially saving you money and adding considerable value to your finished project.

• No hassles, no fuss. We will select an architect with the experience and expertise that best suits your needs and if you are not happy after the first meeting, we will arrange another architect for you at no additional cost
• Your Archicentre Accredited Architect will arrange an appointment with you
• The architect will meet with you at your home or on-site to discuss your needs, get a briefing from you, and measure-up your existing home (if required).
• A Design Concept will then be tailored to suit your brief and your budget; and ultimately to add value to your home and enjoyment to your lifestyle
• You will receive an Archicentre Design Concept Report that includes:
• A confirmation of your brief
• A written summation of the design principles and compliance issues underlying the presented proposal
• An architect’s sketch plan of the proposal and an elevation or perspective view (as applicable).
• An opinion of broad construction costs, so you don’t start a project you can’t afford.
• You’ll also get professional unbiased advice on best build options and an opportunity to ask questions which relate to your project about materials, finishes, permits and so on.
• Additional technical information sheets and a cost guide to help you budget for the project.
