Archicentre has a fixed fee design concept report which provides you with the following;
* consultation with architect
* one (1) concept & scaled drawings
* costing to build (with a lower to higher range depending on the fit out)
However it does seem to exclude landscaping, council/statutory fees, professional fees, contingecy etc
It takes approximately 8 weeks for them to complete and for a 3 unit site the cost is $3970. Has anyone done this before actually engaging an architect/draftsmen? Was it of value to you?
Part of the value of the service for me would be a firmer estimation of the costs to build instead of relying on less reliable anectodal advice. Is there another option to have a complete costing of a design concept?
