Approach to Building Design
Kyle’s approach to building design considers the technical and approval requirements of a project from the beginning. Site constraints such as lot dimensions, orientation, existing structures, easements, R-Codes requirements and local planning provisions are considered before the design is developed.
Working drawings are prepared to communicate the project clearly to the client, council and builder. The documentation is intended to provide the information needed to understand the proposed work, assess compliance requirements and support construction and approval processes.
