FAQ

How much will it cost?
We will charge between $75 and $100 per hour + GST and disbursements depending on the type of work and the size of the project. We will provide you with a written and signed Contract Estimate for your approval & signature before we start.

How long will it take?
We will work with you to meet your required timeframes if at all possible. We will advise you of the timeframes that Local Council require to process any Consents/Permits.

What if we need an Engineer, Surveryor, Environmental Planner or other Consultant?
With your permission we will obtain written quotes for your approval and coordinate any consultants on your behalf, saving you time, money and hassle.

Will I need separate Engineering drawings?
No, we will incorporate engineering details into our drawings, again saving you & your builder time, money and hassle.

Can you survey our site for us or do we need a surveyor?
Often we can shoot any levels and provide a contour plan ourselves. We will advise you if a Registered Surveyor is required and obtain a quote for your approval.

What if I need Resource Consent?
No worries, we can take care of that for you too, be it for TCDC or Environment Waikato.

Yes, we can legalise as much as possible, these additions for you through a process called a Certificate of Acceptance.

Can you give me a 3D picture of my house?
Yes, we provide 3D visualizations and even an Animated Walk Through video of your project.

What if I need a Fire Design Report done?
Again, no worries, we can also take care of that for you.

What if I need a Geotechnical Investigation carried out?
Once again, no worries, we can also take care of that for you. We carry out all necessary approved tests as our Engineers Agent. This saves you money.
