DESIGN SERVICES
“We provide a comprehensive design and documentation service, with exceptional service from the start to completion of a project. We are your point of contact for your project, completing site investigations, dealing with Councils and Consultants, guiding you through the planning, design and documentation process and obtaining approvals from regulatory bodies. We take the stress out of the process by doing the work for you. “
1. Pre-Purchase Consultations
We provide a Design Consultation Service prior to purchase, outlining the potential for a project, including design and planning constraints as required. POA.

2. Initial Site Visit and Brief
We meet you on your site, and discuss your brief, budget and site constraints etc. We ‘get to know you a little’, to fully understand what you want to achieve with your building. We provide a Site Appraisal report including a description of our initial design approach, investigations of planning constraints, summary of the brief. Our first On-site meeting takes approx. 2 hours.

4. Sketch Design Stage
We compile a series of Sketch Planning proposals in response to your brief and the site. We will present these to you for review, indicating the general building layout, sizes and spatial functions. We will begin to explore materials, construction proposals, siting and site constraints (such as bushfire risk) and undertake preliminary liaison with council and consultants. A survey, measure up and/or other site information may be required in order to proceed. At the end of this stage, we have explored numerous planning design options, so that you are ready to proceed to the next stage of the design process.

5. Design Development Stage
We will transform our concept design plan into a 3D model. We will begin with massing modelling, and later photorealistic modelling to bring the building to life. We will explore colours, material selections, textures and construction solutions using 3D imaging with ArchiCAD and Bimx models for you to navigate and inhabit. We can provide 3D animations where required. At this stage, we will consult with possible builders to gauge estimated costs and consult with engineers/planners etc where required.

6. Council Documentation Stage – DA
We will prepare and fully coordinate the documentation required for submission to relevant authorities, including Development Application and other applications where applicable. We can provide photomontages, consultant coordination, council liaison as required, and prepare for Basix Certificate assessment. We will follow the DA through the assessment process and ensure as smooth a path as possible to obtain consent.

7. Construction Documentation Stage – CC
We will prepare and fully coordinate the documentation required for submission to relevant authorities for the Construction Certificate. This will be fully coordinated with a structural engineer or other consultants where required to provide a set of documentation ready for a builder to quote on your project.

8. Detailed Tender Documentation
We can work with your builder of choice or provide a list of builders we work with and trust to build your project. We will prepare additional detailing for tendering if you wish, including electrical, wet area details, slab setouts, construction details, joinery, stairs etc where required. We can assist you in selecting your builder and prepare a set of documentation for construction.

ARCHITECTURAL VISUALISATION AND DOCUMENTATION
- Documentation. 3DE provides a comprehensive documentation service to Architects, Builders, Developers etc, from DA concepts, Development Application to Construction Certificate, Tendering and Construction Documentation, including detailing and 3D imaging.
- Visualisation. 3DE also works with the construction, architecture, development and real estate industries to create modelling and imaging of buildings, concept designs, future developments, as well as industrial plant and machinery and imaging using ArchiCAD, Photoshop, Cinema 4D etc, BIM modelling, animation, montages, shadow analysis – virtual architecture. E-media through to printed billboard quality.
3DE provides a unique visualisation service, complementing the professionals we work with to create a dynamic presentation portfolio. The result is a wide variety of output media, from hi-resolution digital images, hi-quality printed images from A4 to billboard size or multimedia animated videos. The final product can then be used for multimedia marketing, council or statutory approval, client approval and financial approval.
