Professional and tailored residential design services
Dean McCredden Architect offers a comprehensive range of architectural services, with a strong focus on residential building design tailored specifically for projects across Richmond, Melbourne and beyond.
Dean is dedicated to understanding your unique vision and can customise services to perfectly fit your needs, whether that includes providing complete architectural solutions or offering support through partial
services to help bring your project to life.
This services outline is developed to assist you in your decision process, to see why I’m different and to help you decide if I might be the right fit for your project. Designing and building a home is a significant investment,
for many it’s the largest one they’ll make in their lifetime. It’s an emotional investment as much as a financial one, so I work closely with all my clients to develop the best outcome for their project.
I can offer a full range of architectural services. Specialising in residential building and interior design, I can customise my services to fit your needs, whether that be full or part services to realise your project.

Fees
The main stages of the process are charged on a fixed fee basis. Although the cost of construction for a project doesn’t determine the architectural fees, I find it’s a useful guideline in projecting how much design time may be needed to consider the project and produce the drawings. The goal is to work with a pre-selected builder early in the design phase to capture the actual project costs at each step along the way.
I hate surprises as much as you do!
Consultants
I work with a select number of consultants to realise your project. Initially this could be engaging a Land Surveyor to check the existing boundaries and levels, through to the construction documentation phase where a Structural Engineer and Building Surveyor would be engaged. I will advise you as to what consultants you’ll need for your project, typically I’ll suggest a consultant I work with regularly and you engage them on a separate contract basis.
