Upon us receiving your inquiry, we will send you out a questionnaire so we can acquire all of the relevant information for your build. Once the information that you have given us has been received the director Joe, will call you to discuss the project in more detail

Northern beaches architectural homes will organise a meeting to discuss your building plans in more detail. This is the part of the process that is ultimately to find out where you as the client is at with the project and for us to best guide you with your next steps.
3. Initial estimate
After the initial consultation, northern beaches architectural homes will be in contact with you and discuss a preliminary ballpark budget. This budget he's guided off your design and past projects for the area and build type.
4. DA or CDC submission (if not already approved)
Once you are satisfied with the preliminary costings and the plans that are provided, the project can be submitted into your local council or the certifiers ready for approval.
