Ecotect Architects have wode ranging experience in providing support to project builders.

This assistance has come in the form of providing designs intended for mass production, or where a discerning client requires a higher quality product at an affordable price.

We are also able to provide advice to project builders who have a genuine desire to produce energy and water efficient project homes.

Ecotect-Architects are available to design standard plan for builders to improve their sustainability and public appeal.  This can range from evaluation of existing plans and advice or simply designing concepts that can be offered in the market place.  We are amenable for releasing copyrights in return for publicity. And acknowledgement of the firm's input into the designs.  We believe that would actually help with marketing the concepts to the public.

Our fees are very reasonable and we are prepared to negotiate to make it attractive for the project builder to use our services and improve their plans and marketing approach.

Exclusivity, shared copyrights, or just conceptual input will mean a range of fees offered, which are basically structured around time input.  It is not a cost really.  It is an investment for progressive operators looking for an edge on the competition.

Being involved in land development gives the firm great insight about how to maximize penetration of this increasingly important sustainability approach.
