Terms and Conditions
Although we do a thorough inspection and will certainly share any information any findings with you, our service is not a substitute for a systematic building defect and pest inspection - if you are purchasing a home and this is a specific concern you should get this separately, we can recommend Jim's Building and Pest Inspection, phone 131546.
Our preliminary design consultations are a great framework for decision making and give you a head start in the planning process but they are not a substitute for a architectural project planning, Development Application preparation or council DA submissions. We will provide a clear roadmap as to how to proceed within the scope of the consultation.
In our Simple Feasibility we offer only general advice based on our experience and will not be formally reviewing council planning instruments, and will do rough site measurement and sketching to determine compliance with general council constraints - enough information to make decisions moving forward. Our Full Development will go into a lot more detail and a lot more precision with measurement and provide information that can be relied upon in progressing the development towards formal planning and design.
We have excluded the cost of external consultant that may be required including Land Surveyor, Heritage Consultant or planning solicitor or any council fees.
In providing the services, we are bound to comply with the NSW Code of Professional Conduct. This code provides architects and their clients with a statement of the expectations of both architects and clients when engaged to provide architectural services.
Our fixed-price consultation services currently cover single dwellings within the following Sydney Metropolitan LGAs:
Inner West Council
Burwood Council
Canada Bay Council
Hunters Hill Council
Mosman Council
North Sydney Council
City of Sydney Council
Waverley Council
Woollahra Council
These are the areas we know best and where we can confidently deliver at the prices listed. If your property sits outside these areas, or involves a different building type, get in touch and we will see if we’re able to assist.
Note:
In order to deliver all the items listed above we typically aim to present the deliverables to you within 4 weeks of the initial site inspection. Please advise if you require us to accommodate an expedited process, subject to the studio’s capacity.
Ballast Point will always ensure that a qualified member of the architecture team attends your consultation. While we endeavour to have a registered architect present at every appointment, this cannot be guaranteed due to availability. Where a registered architect is unable to attend, your consultation will be conducted by an experienced architecture team member working under the supervision of a registered architect. All consultation outputs, including reports, sketches, and recommendations, are reviewed and endorsed by a registered architect prior to delivery.
