Westlay Homes works closely with leading building design architects to guide clients through the design process. We manage every stage, from initial planning and concept through to design briefs and concept drafting, incorporating a construction design management plan.

This service allows our clients to:

• Identify potential building planning concerns that need addressing
• Present a concept design document as part of a development or building planning application
• Establish preliminary budget estimates for the works, including site works, or engage a quantity surveyor
• Present a design brief for internal or external collaboration and review
• Incorporate the design into a design and construct (D&C) package

We help our clients identify potential cost savings even at this early conceptual stage.

Westlay Homes can assess the efficiency, scope of works, architectural features and overall economics of an existing building design. Our assessment covers:

• External design consultancy
• Cost savings and design efficiency
• Structural design options and design engineering
• Construction program milestones and staging

As a fully resourced construction design company, we produce the reports and documents that take the guesswork out of building design. These include:

• Scope of works
• Breakdowns of trade components and packages
• Construction staging based on the proposed design
• Design reviews and design guidelines
• Project management plans developed around the design

Balancing creativity with practicality is what we do best. A practical, cost-effective fitout does not have to be dull, and our interior designers choose features that create lasting, timeless appeal.
