Getting to know you and your goals
Fundamentally, a consultation is about getting to know you. We’re proud of the relationships we build with our clients and we believe that’s because we approach every person we meet as a unique opportunity to showcase our knowledge and experience.
Every property owner – just like every property – comes with its own possibilities and parameters. During a consultation, we invite you to share yours with us. We allow you the chance to express your ideas, hopes and dreams – from the easily achievable to the wildly ambitious.
Project Feasibility/Consultation
A thorough feasibility through consultation is the first step in our pre-design process. It plays an important role in ensuring your project can be completed on time, on budget and according to your expectations. You get the opportunity at this critical stage to tell us exactly what you’re aiming for, while we establish how it can be delivered.
Getting to know your property
A visit to your building site or your property is a critical step in a successful consultation. This gives us the chance to walk the boundaries with you, observe the site in detail, discuss how the property is currently utilised and to assess what, in our opinion, is and isn’t possible according to development controls and planning polices. We often come up with creative and practical ideas that you have not yet considered yourself. As vivid and as accurate as any description or picture might be, there is no substitute for seeing a property in real life and obtaining an accurate account of its functionality and how this will affect any transformation.
A full feasibility determining the likely hood of any building approval, be it Complying or Development Application, will be carried out prior to engaging Delve Design to carry out the Design and documentation for submission.
Deciding who is involved
Redesigning and/or redeveloping a property to high standards requires an array of experts. Whether you already have a particular builder or property manager in mind or haven’t even thought about your team yet, at your consultation, we will develop a mutual understanding of who you expect to be working with. Third parties could include other property owners, consultants, project managers, investors, leasers, council and/or other design companies. We’re flexible and experienced at building positive, productive relationships with other parties.
