CONCEPT DESIGN PLANS

Kickstart your project with our comprehensive concept design services, a crucial foundational step that transforms your vision into detailed, tangible blueprints. This process not only sets the stage for your desired outcome but also ensures clarity and alignment from the outset. Through our expert guidance, you'll refine and finalize essential elements such as layout configurations, material selections, site locations, and spatial arrangements. By embracing this invaluable phase, you’ll establish a solid framework that paves the way for efficient planning, seamless execution, and successful project delivery.

WHAT CAN A CONCEPT DESIGN BE USED FOR:

BUILDER PRICING & COST ESTIMATES
A concept design allows builders to provide more accurate preliminary pricing, helping confirm the project aligns with your budget before progressing further.

FINALISING THE DESIGN DIRECTION
Establishes a clear design outcome early, ensuring you, your designer and contractors are aligned before moving into detailed documentation.

STREAMLINING THE DRAWING PROCESS
By resolving key design elements upfront, the transition into Working Drawings becomes more efficient. While refinements can still be made, a well-developed concept reduces delays during approvals and construction.

FORECASTING APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS
Identifies potential constraints early in the process, allowing the design to respond to planning controls and improve the likelihood of a smoother approval outcome.

WORKING DRAWINGS

With your concept design plans (Finalised and Resolved Design) in hand, we will proceed to create the Working Drawings necessary for both approval and construction purposes.

These detailed plans encompass providing comprehensive information on local department planning regulations alongside proposed construction methodologies. Additionally, we meticulously ensure that the design documentation adheres to national construction codes and Australian standards. This meticulous approach is vital to ensure accessibility and feasibility for your builder, contractors, and suppliers, facilitating the smooth progression of your project.

WHATS GENERALLY INCLUDED IN A WORKING DRAWING SET:

⊳ SITE PLAN & SKETCH PERSPECTIVES

⊳ FLOOR PLANS & ROOF PLAN

⊳ LANDSCAPE / EROSION & SEDIMENT CONTROL PLANS

⊳ ELEVATIONS

⊳ SECTIONS & CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

⊳ DOOR & WINDOW SCHEDULES

WORKING DRAWING SETS ARE TAILORED TO SUIT THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF EACH PROJECT, LOCAL COUNCIL REGULATIONS AND APPROVAL PATHWAYS. WE ENSURE ALL DOCUMENTATION IS CLEAR, COORDINATED AND COMPLIANT, PROVIDING BUILDERS AND CERTIFIERS WITH THE INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR APPROVALS AND CONSTRUCTION.

APPROVAL COORDINATION SERVICES

Here at Praeditos Designs we understand the approval process for your project can be overwhelming and daunting. For this we offer our approval coordination services that can take the stress out of getting your project ready from construction. With our experience with the ACT Environment Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate (EPSDD) and local and remote Australian Councils, we can have your project lodged with all required supporting documentation efficiently.

WHY HAVE PREDITOS DESIGNS & DRAFTING COORDINATE YOUR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION?

TIME AND COST REDUCTION
Engaging an experienced designer to manage the approval process can help reduce both costs and delays. With efficient coordination and accurate documentation from the outset, your project is better positioned to progress through approvals and reach construction sooner. By minimising errors and rework, we help avoid unnecessary back-and-forth with councils and consultants.

COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION
We act as the central point of contact between you, council, certifiers, and any required consultants. This ensures all parties are aligned, reduces miscommunication, and keeps the process organised and progressing as intended.

STREAMLINED PROCESS
From initial documentation through to submission and determination, we manage each step of the application. This provides a structured and efficient pathway, giving you clarity and confidence throughout the approval process.
