WHY NOT HAVE THE BUILDER DESIGN?
As you will appreciate, the services of an architect are far reaching and cover areas of legislation that are getting more complex by the day. Builders have in the past been appointed to just get on with construction work without an architect’s services. However, as the standard and level of inspection increases, knowing your way through appropriate legislation that will ultimately hold you as the client liable becomes increasingly important. It will be far easier and more reassuring to appoint an architect to manage these aspects for you. The builder can then focus on getting the construction right and manage the other tradespeople required for the project. A successful project stems from collaboration between yourself, your builder and your architect, resulting in a home to be proud of for many years to come.
