If you have had plans prepared for you or if you are considering purchasing an off the plan design, Ecotect Architects are able to provide floor plan appraisals through our Advisory Service. Whether you are considering building a new commercial building or undergoing an addition or renovations, this service will help you to ensure that your building will have appropriate energy and water saving measures.

This advice can relate to any or all of the following areas:

• Preliminary feasibility and costing
• Passive solar design and other ESD issues
• Planning and local council requirements
• General design issues
• Preliminary material selection
• Preliminary site analysis

The Advisory Service is provided by one of our architects who will meet with you for up to three hours. Alternatively, an on site meeting can be arranged if this is more appropriate to your situation.

With commercial projects this advisory may lead to an audit service to establish more data, or a feasibility study based on initial conceptual work. The cost of this will be explained at the interview session.
