Services / Design-build enquiries
Design-build enquiries
Ask how design and construction are coordinated, which services are included and who is responsible for each stage. Confirm the required professional qualifications and responsibilities before deciding to proceed.
Clarify who owns each stage.
A design-build enquiry should establish how design and construction would be organized for the actual project. The label alone does not define professional responsibilities or included services. Ask how decisions, required qualifications and approval points are recorded before committing.
Before you enquire
Describe the intended change and any design work already completed. Ask which documents should be reviewed and who would provide the required professional input. Confirm what the initial discussion is intended to establish.

- 01
Describe the home.
Explain the space, intended change and the timing you have in mind. A short project outline can start the conversation.
- 02
Assess the requirements.
Discuss existing conditions, intended scope and the professional input needed. Ask which drawings or assessment are required before a proposal.
- 03
Review before agreeing.
Understand the included work, exclusions, responsibilities and terms before committing. A website enquiry is not a project agreement.
