Sydney Architect Adam Pressley FRAIA runs a residential practice designing homes. 'We focus on our clients brief, provide designs in 3-dimensions and we can manage just one stage or every stage of the process'. F A Q - Frequently Asked Questions:

We are planning a home renovation - how do you start the process and what are your costs?

Our architectural process & client service:

In the first instance I discuss the project over the phone to determine if we are suitable. A suitable project for us is;

• Within the 10 council areas we operate


• Sufficiently large enough or of high enough quality or complexity to justify the services of an architect


• A project in which the brief and budget are in accord

Assuming this is so, I would then arrange a site meeting with you to;

• Meet you and your partner / family


• See your property


• Discuss your brief in more detail


• Provide more information about our services, discuss similar projects we have completed and answer any questions about our service


• Give you further feedback on the viability of your project


• Enable us to go away and prepare for you an indication of the likely time we would spend on a Stage 0 Feasibility or Stage 1 Concept Design

Up to this point there is no cost. Should you wish to engage us, we would normally work on an hourly rate do and charge basis. We give regular estimates of the likely time to be spent. We invoice regularly and include detailed itemised statements of work done.

We don't charge % fees and each stage of your project is discreet and you are not locked into completing further stages with us. We can be engaged to complete just the design stage or as many of our clients do, engage us for the full service.
