FEASIBILITY STUDY

Should I Rebuild or Renovate?

Gain clarity with our Feasibility Study.

How many times have you walked through your front door and not been instantly welcomed by the feeling of absolute calm and ease.

Something feels off-kilter, every time you whip up something in the kitchen you're mentally wishing that your day-to-day tasks were just a bit easier. You know you need a change. This was meant to be your forever home. This was meant to be "it", but as you look around your house, the feeling of "home" doesn't quite hit the mark.

So you're left wondering should I rebuild or renovate? Is it the function of the house or is it the fact this house isn't keeping up with our growing family? How do I make this house feel like the home I want to walk into every night after work, a place of warmth, light, and precious memories? Will my house stand the test of time? Or do we need a change?

Here’s how we’ll work together to future-proof your home

We start with feasibility. Before the design phase, I’ll meet with you to advise on feasibility - what we can do with what you already have.

This is the perfect project starter where we take a deep dive into your site. It is my favourite thing about working with you, when we get to nut out the problem areas and imagine the way your house could work.

It’s magical. 

Following an initial meeting on site, we'll start working on the next steps for your home.

Inclusions:

  • Make enquiries with the local council, and any other potential consultants who could provide valuable preliminary advice

  • Two sketch plan diagrams to explore possibilities

  • Opinion of cost for each option

  • Report of the findings

  • Second meeting in our studio to discuss the report and next steps

Let’s Future-Proof Your house

I love working with clients like you to help you adapt and renovate or redesign your home so you can live there happily for a long time to come.

My favourite part of the Future Proof Your Home service is working out how to get the most out of the property you already have.

You’d be amazed at how I can do things like:

  • Optimise the floor plan without vastly increasing the home’s footprint through clever design

  • Minimise construction costs by working smarter

  • Improve the way you live and grow in your home

  • Create the home you’ve been dreaming of

The benefits of having an architectural lens on your project

  • There is no double handling

    When you gain the clarity of what is feasible with an architectural lens, you won’t need to ever ask yourself the same questions about your home.

    Sheri would have thought of everything you may do in your house, how you use the current spaces, how you will use the new space and during the research component of this offer she will ensure to stress test it all.

    You do this first crucial step so you don’t have to go back and redo anything in the process because things may have been overlooked. Proper planning and research will save you money and time!

  • It's our job to question you

    I will test your ideas and choices to allow you to make informed decisions about whether to rebuild, renovate, extend or subdivide.

    An architect can understand your vision and see the end picture where you will be living in years to come.

    It’s not just an offer. This step in any project is important and Sheri will give you her attention when working with you.

  • massive risk reduction

    Sheri will help identify and evaluate potential obstacles and risks early in the project planning phase.

    By clarifying the factors such as council planning regulations, site conditions, budget constraints, the feasibility study allows you to anticipate challenges that could impact the project's viability.

    This proactive approach provides an opportunity to make informed decisions, adjust plans, and allocate resources more effectively to avoid costly mistakes and ensure the project is both practically and financially feasible.
