There are many variables here but to cut to it for a fully custom house design expect 6-12 months of design discussion, documentation and approvals (depending upon the level of quality and outcome you wish to achieve), without apology, design is a creative process and thinking, reassessing, improving, developing and documenting in detail all take time. Having said that ENV Design is a business based around the ideal of delivering the highest quality outcome in the most efficient ways, through the use of systems and process.
Summary of average time frames to expect:
• Garage (and associated landscape and building works): 3-8 months from initial consultation to builder ready.
• Secondary Dwelling: 4-10 months from initial consultation to builder ready.
• New House: 7-15 months from initial consultation to builder ready.
From experience the best outcomes are achieved by adhering to a process. All projects we take on, whether part-way or to completion, follow a similar process. Take a look at the ‘Typical Project Program’ diagram at the bottom of this page to see this typical process.
