Floor Plan Review

Feel inspired about your design again with an expert second opinion.

We will build on the valuable work you’ve already done and introduce the creative solutions you’re looking for.

$2,498 +GST

This package includes a minimum of 8 hours of professional time.

  • You receive a questionnaire to help your Architect GP understand your needs and wants, and to help you visualise what success looks like for you.

  • Your Architect GP gets to work researching the property and/or planning context while you provide the current floor plan.

  • Your Architect GP arrives at the 2-hour workshop with a draft floorplan for discussion (in-home or online). No messing about, we want to hit the ground running!

  • Following the workshop your feedback is integrated and you will receive a fully revised and annotated floor plan. WOW!

  • If you already have a floor plan or design process underway, but you’re not yet loving it, then this is the service for you.

    Or maybe you’ve purchased a new house with an approved Planning Application or DA that doesn’t (yet) suit your needs.

    Either way: you feel like your current plan isn’t yet a perfect fit for your needs, and you would like the support of an expert second opinion to make it better.

  • Your Architect GP understands room relationships and layout, scale, environmental performance, orientation, construction approaches, planning regulations and the building market. We can show you how you might customise the home to make it better fit for you.

    Expert design nudges can make a home less costly to heat and cool and more comfortable to live in, all year round. We can help you reduce your total build cost if we think you’re currently on track to build “too much”. We can help you achieve a more delightful result by aligning your plans with your values (after all, you probably plan to spend at least a few years living there!).

    What makes our Architect GPs unique is that we are NOT precious about it not being all “our design”. Many architects don’t do this customisation work because it doesn’t fit their image. We’re so over that. We want to make ALL homes better, including yours.

  • If you’ve got a floor plan from another designer or a builder and you want to improve it, we can guide you to get the necessary changes made.

    Or perhaps your new home came with a planning permit and the design needs a tweak or two.

    We’ll listen to your needs, make hand-drawn revisions to your current plan, and provide you with the confidence and reports to take back to your builder or designer, so you can create the right plan for your circumstances; one that ticks all your boxes.

  • When you book this workshop you will receive a minimum of 7 hours of your Architect GP’s professional time and resources.

    We send you a pre-workshop Questionnaire to describe your needs, wants and must-haves.

    We prepare for your workshop by reviewing the questionnaire, your current floor plan, and understanding your site and context. We are ready for this!

    A two hour workshop at your home, or nominated address, where you’ll get:

    • The undivided attention of your Architect GP

    • A workshop agenda to structure the discussion and enable you to prepare, so you get the most out of it

    • A prepared Architect GP who has read your questionnaire, done desktop analysis, and is ready to work

    • You provide printed copies of floor plans and other information - such as building inspection reports, energy efficiency ratings, etc - that you have on hand

    • A pros-and-cons discussion around your current home

    • Tim Tams, brought by your Architect GP, to keep our brains alert!

    • Architectural sketches to illustrate possible design alternatives and the reasoning behind them. We show, ask and involve you in the sketch work (not just tell you how it should be!)

    • Discussions of your budget and the impact that might have on your decision making

    • The reassurance that comes from knowing that your decisions are based on real data and knowledge, having explored various scenarios and future potential for improvements

    • A verbal summary of the key outcomes and next steps

    After the workshop, your Architect GP will send:

    • A PDF hand or CAD drawing of the complete revised floor plan. This drawing can be used to advance discussions with your designer or builder, so you can show them exactly what you’ve been trying to say.

    • Annotations (thorough notes) on the drawing describing features, benefits and particular points to highlight with your future designer/builder

    • Referral suggestions to other consultants as appropriate

  • $2,199 +GST

  • You can book additional consultations with your dedicated Architect GP anytime via the Architect On-Call booking window.
