Our Services
FIRST STEPS
Get in touch so we can have a quick chat about your project and gain a preliminary understanding of your brief. We will meet with you to walk through your home and help you understand the process of working with an architect, how long projects typically take, how much things will cost and prepare a fee proposal on this basis.
CREATIVE DESIGN
We develop the design using your brief, specific needs, taste and budget. The process begins with floor plans and includes exterior elevations that allow us to create the style and character of your home. We provide 3D views as standard to help you gain an understanding of how your home will look in its finished product.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
Working with other specialist consultants such as engineers, energy assessors and surveyors we develop the design for building permit approval and construction. This includes the preparation of detailed drawings, specifications and schedules that describe the quality of materials, finishes and quality of work necessary to meet your requirements.
TOWN PLANNING
The majority of sites in Melbourne require town planning approval for building works from the relevant council. At Yellow Nest we drive the submission process with council, preparing all of the relevant documents and responding to councils queries. Yellow Nest is experienced in dealing with council for Rescode Compliance, Heritage Buildings and Subdivisions.
AFFORDABILITY
We respect that budget’s can be tight and our clients may see affordability as an essential aspect. At Yellow Nest we like to take that a step further than just construction costs by helping you reduce your living costs and impact on the environment with the incorporation Sustainable Design elements.
CONSTRUCTION
We will assist you to select your preferred builder. During construction, we will arrange and attend site meetings, reporting regularly about the progress of the project. Visiting the site periodically we will observe the general conformance of the construction on your behalf, and instruct the builder regarding design quality control, materials selections and performance.
