The PAUA Architectural Design Process
Project Establishment
Project Establishment is like finding all the edge pieces when you do a puzzle - it frames the project and sets the scene for successful design.
Concept Design
The concept design is our creative response to your brief. This is when your creative ideas start coming to life.
Preliminary Design
Through the preliminary design phase of the project, we work with your feedback to refine the design. This is also when we recommend getting a preliminary cost estimate from a quantity surveyor.
Developed Design
Once you are happy with the preliminary design, we develop the design and drawings and collaborate with you on the layout, look, and materials.
Detailed Design and Documentation
The next step is to create the detailed documentation showing exactly how your project is to be constructed.
Procurement ( & Building Consent)
With the documentation complete, we invite local building contractors to price the job for you, apply for building consent, and answer any queries from builders or council.
Project Management
After we've helped you reach an agreement with a builder, we manage the contract to make sure the work is carried out in accordance with the design and instructions we have all agreed.
