CONCEPT CONSULTATION:
If you don't
know the best way to extend and alter your home, or if you have some ideas and just need some re-assurance, or want to see
if there are alternatives, a "Concept Consultation" is the best way to begin.
For $220, Colonial
Concepts will visit your home and spend a couple of hours or so, discussing possibilities. Sometimes your requirements
may have outgrown your home, land, and budget, so we may even suggest moving!
After the "Concept Consultation" you'll
know what's possible and what approvals you may need. You'll also know if the project roughly fits your budget.
Most people
are amazed at what a fresh opinion can do for their renovation dreams!
"Concept Consultations" are available
Monday to Friday, within the Brisbane City Council area.
CONCEPT PLANS:
After you spend some time considering the thoughts outlined in the "Concept Consultation", the next thing to do is contact us again to organise the production of
"Concept Plans".
These drawings show Existing and Proposed Floor Plans and Elevations of your
house, showing what it would look like after the renovation is complete.
The "Concept Plans" cost $2200 (including
GST).
In
the unlikely event that you then decide not to go ahead with the building project, the "Concept
Plans" make an excellent sales tool, showing potential purchasers what the property could look like.
WORKING
DRAWINGS:
Finally,
you will need "Working Drawings", which are detailed drawings showing the builders
how to build it, and giving them most of the information they need to price the project. These are the drawings which
go to a 'Private Certifier' or 'Building Certifier' for building approval.
The cost of the "Working Drawings"
vary, but for a large extension project, it is usually between $2200 and $3300.
You may also need Soil Testing & Engineering, Surveying, and Town Planning
Consultants involved. We can put you in touch with these experts to get your job completed as easily as possible.
The fees of these Consultants will be quoted by them at the appropriate time.
