Warrandyte
On this beautiful bush block, we developed the concept for a split-level family home, stepping down the hillside and taking full advantage of the north-western views over the Yarra River. We took the project from concept to completion – developing the concept, obtaining the Planning & Building Permits, developing the Working Drawings, Tendering and appointing the builder, supervising construction and ensuring the quality of the build while keeping it on budget.
The concept of a new development begins with planning permits, where the initial idea takes shape. Subdivision outlines the division of land if necessary. Next, working drawings are created to detail the design. Once approved, a building permit is obtained, and the project is put out for tendering. During construction, oversight ensures adherence to plans and regulations, ultimately bringing the concept to life with careful execution.
Designing and building on a sloping site requires careful planning, including the implementation of retaining walls to ensure stability and functionality. Additionally, addressing stormwater drainage is crucial to prevent erosion and water damage. The process often involves negotiations with the local council to ensure compliance with regulations and obtain necessary permits, ensuring a successful and environmentally responsible construction project.
