THE DA SUBMISSION PROCESS
January 11, 2017
With over 20 years experience in lodgment of DA’s to various Council’s. The council process is generally seen as a technical process, yet as human beings we are visual people and this includes potential objectors such as your neighbours. We have found the visual communication of your design through architectural perspectives often alleviates the ‘fear’ of the DA proposal and allows everyone including neighbours to connect to the design.

LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION MADE FOR OPEN PLAN LIVING
November 18, 2016
We often discuss the option of choice of construction with our clients, discussing the difference between light weight construction over bricks and mortar. Our project in Five Dock is an illustration of the benefits of light weight construction. With is soaring cantilevered roof over the open plan living outdoor area below with angular form is well suited for this form of construction. As with many homes with a large open plan configuration and large windows, it is often the lateral forces which need to be addressed. Hence the steel framed structure often provides the appropriate structural solution beyond the limits of timber framing.
