Custom home extensions: Specialising in alterations and additions that respect the original character of your home while introducing modern, light-filled spaces.
Full architectural solutions: A "concept to completion" service that takes the stress out of the building process.
Partial services: If you only require assistance with specific project phases, Dean can provide targeted support to keep your project moving forward.
Larger-scale developments: Working alongside developers to create multi-residential projects that prioritise design integrity and commercial viability.
A transparent and cost-effective fee structure
One of the hallmarks of Dean McCredden Architect is a commitment to transparency. Navigating the costs of a building project in Melbourne can be daunting, which is why the main service stages are calculated on a fixed-fee basis.
This ensures a cost-effective fee structure that can be tailored to match your specific budget and the unique requirements of your project. By removing the guesswork from architectural fees, clients can move through the design and documentation process with confidence and financial clarity.
The Architectural Journey: Project stages
Dean will guide you through every phase of the project, ensuring that design quality and technical precision are maintained from the first concept to completion. Typical project stages include:
Design: The creative genesis where your vision is translated into initial concepts and spatial layouts. After consultant input, the chosen concept is refined, materials are selected, and the architectural language is finalised.
Planning: Navigating the complexities of local council requirements for Planning Permit applications, including heritage overlays.
Documentation: Creating a highly detailed set of drawings, specifications, and schedules required for a Building Permit and accurate builder pricing.
Costing: Assisting you in finding the right builder to cost your project and who shares your commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Construction: Acting as your advocate on-site to ensure the project is built according to the design intent and high standards.
