SERVICES
Welcome to W D Architects
At WD Architects we are passionate about environmental issues and design excellence as the two go hand-in-hand. We use low-toxity and low-pollutant materials as well as water- and energy-saving design strategies whenever possible. All of our designs are tailored to the specifics of each client's needs, site, budget, climate, and construction procurement method.
We run our office based on these same principles: using 100% recycled paper*, recycling and composting office waste, paying for 100% wind power, and using recycled, low-toxicity and re-used items for our office fit-out.
Services
WD Architects specialises in environmentally sustainable architecture.
We can offer a full range of architectural services including:
- Feasibility Studies
- Concept design
- Construction drawings and specifications
- Tendering
- Building Contract Administration
This work includes:
- construction cost estimates during the design process
- computerised energy analysis (we run BERS Pro for residential energy assessment and DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus for detailed analysis of any building type)
- 3d computer renderings for 'photo-realistic' visualisations
- detailed construction drawings and specifications to minimise uncertainties and discrepancies during construction
- arranging and coordinating the work of engineers and other consultants
- liaising with councils and certifiers
- inspecting builder's work to obtain quality control and value for money throughout the construction contract
Not every project or client requires full service and we can tailor our work and fees to suit.
Most often we will quote a fixed fee after meeting to discuss your needs and define the scope of work. For small or speculative projects we can also work on hourly rates.
Please let us know if you have any questions about building materials, good design practice, our services, professional contacts or anything else.
