deliver

We deliver a set of documents ready for submission to a building certifier. The builder can also start pricing and once drawings are approved building can commence.

F.A.Q.

Because it’s important to ask questions

Both architects and building designers are concerned with the best possible design of the built environment. Both have spent years in tertiary education and have met the strict requirements necessary for licencing/registration. Both are interested in providing the best possible professional service to their clients.

An experienced building designer will provide a great design at a cost that won’t break the bank! At Elston Design we believe that good design should be accessible to everyone.

An architect will provide a great design for a fee anywhere from 5% to 10%+ of the construction cost of your project. 

Yes !

Please allow for the services of a structural engineer to provide for the footings / slab and framing design. Also a soils test will need to be obtained by a geotechnical engineer for most projects.
