Ecotect Architects are able to provide house inspections in order to identify likely causes of excessive energy and water consumption. This is conducted as part of our Advisory Service, and includes suggestions on how to increase your home's energy and water efficency.

Garry Baverstock has an 'A 'class building registration since 1975 and it is still current.  The practice has built many projects over the years as well as hands on project management.

If a client is requiring an expert opinion on the progress of their builder a report can be made or an inspection service offered to lower the risk of making mistakes.

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.

A regular visit can be contracted to cover the time of an architect plus travel expenses, and designated stages for the inspections will be outlined at the advisory stage.

It is not a commonly used service and usually is requested when things are going wrong with a client's builder and professional action is needed.  The service can also benefit owner builders.

We have instances where a builder's contract may need to be terminated and the construction phase completed under an owner builder basis.

This is obviously an option for our clients but as a public service, we will extend this service to approved customers in our local area or recommend a viable alternative.

This is based on a time charge basis plus disbursements;

• Architect $150.00 per hour

• Senior Architect $180.00 per hour

• Principal Garry Baverstock $250.00 per hour
