Architecture
More than 10 years experience in the industry has given me a range of skills from designing quality new homes to small alterations and additions such as decks, garages, one room additions, and kitchen/bathroom remodelling. I work carefully on designing functional and practical solutions, yet I endeavour to not lose any of the architectural flair. I can assist with site selection, writing a brief, and approximate castings if required. I will start with an initial scheme design, work in close consultation with the client and ultimately develop detailed working drawings for construction.
Council Consents
I generally take care of obtaining any consents required by Council. This includes Resource Consent and Building Consent applications. Any queries or issues the Council may have are then directed back to me and I can deal with them in a timely and professional manner. Most clients prefer not to have to wade through the legalities and paper work which is often required.
Project Administration and Observation
I can assist in your project administration and site observation as required. This includes organising project tenders with contractors recommended by me or those of your choosing. I can monitor progress, undertake on-site supervision and generally ensure that the work complies with the consented documents to ensure a quality final result.
Tailored Service
I can assist in any project you bring to me. It may simply be developing your own design through to construction and consent drawings or it may be a full design and administration process. I pride myself on my quality of design and documentation as well as meeting the brief.
Testimony
We are a small to mid-size building company that specialises in “design-and-build”
alterations to domestic housing.
Aaron from Intelligent Design, has been working with us for over four years, taking our
concept sketches, producing fully detailed and specified drawings, and handling all the
council consent issues for these jobs.
Aaron is totally professional in all his work – he works to our timing and priorities,
produces a very high standard of drawings, and is reasonable in his charging.
I would recommend Aaron to anyone needing architectural drawings completed – he
has a good knowledge of how the various councils work, and he will listen and give you
what you want – not some far-fetched scheme that is completely unaffordable.
