What I need to know - Word Document / PDF

• Look at client requirements for potential development opportunities in particular a unit development site
• Investigate options to best suit the clients budget requirements and project outcomes
• Prepare a written report to assess the viability of the site for potential development

• Prepare concept plans based upon client brief and/or ideas to better understand the overall design building project.
• Concept plans enable client and designer to “thrash out” design ideas and complexities
• At concept stage we like to investigate building costs so as budgets can be determined early in the design process

• 3D visualisations can be created in a black and white image or coloured image
• Existing site utilisation can be adopted to achieve a more realistic site image

• On more complex designs it is required to prepare design and development documents to enable construction details to be clarified and building regulations complied with.
• In particular modern or contemporary designed residences need this type of design work, especially in the more built up areas and inner suburban locations

• Act on behalf of the client to assist in the planning process
• Prepare initial drawings for statutory planning pre-application meetings
• Report and prepare required documentation for planning submission
• Follow through with planning application process to achieved required client 

• Our working drawings are split into 2 stages, Standard Working Drawings and Optional Working Drawings
• The reason we do this is to give clients options and in some cases budgets restrict how much design work can be done to keep within clients financial control

For an understanding of the two stages and what they include please refer to the list following: 

Standard Working Drawings

• Site plan
• Existing conditions plan and demolition
• Proposed floorplan
• Proposed elevations
• Structural sections
• Framing schedule
• Overlooking diagrams
• Overshadowing layouts
• Electrical & Lighting plans (this can be in optional)

Optional Working Drawings

Fixture & Fitting Schedules

• An option for all clients to take up and have idc prepare. This document gives an extensive list of all internal and external materials, fixtures and fittings to enable a builder to price your project more accurately

• Tendering for Builders can be conducted by idc, we have an extensive list of builders that we can tender to, to obtain pricing of your building project
• We are not limited to our list of builders, we are more than happy to tender to any builder that a client wishes us too. It must be noted that if we are to select the builder all candidates must meet our criteria and allow us to assess their capabilities to construct your building project

• We have the ability to contract administer your project through the building stage.
• Our role is act on behalf of the client as a 3^rd pair of eyes to review the building contract, ensure all clauses in the contract are met, variations are controlled and when stage payments are required, that all works needed to be completed are done.
• Contract administration is not project management, and we cannot direct the builder on what they should do
