We meet with you in your home and discuss the requirements for your proposed renovation. We assist you in refining your ideas for the scope of your renovation and offer alternative solutions if necessary. We then calculate an estimation of costs for your proposed additions or alterations.

The next step is to have a set of conceptual drawings documented. This allows you to view the floor plan and elevations of your proposed additions or alterations. You also have the opportunity to view 3D images of the design concept. This process consists of a meeting with one of our building designers from Tascone Design Team. Tascone Design Team is responsible for all design, drafting and planning documentation required by ARG.

Once you are satisfied with your Conceptual Drawings, we prepare a formal quotation for you. This quotation is based on the plans and any requirements you may have for the final finish of your home. The quotation includes a draft of the building specifications so you can be sure what work and materials are included in your renovation.

When you have refined your ideas and you have accepted the quotation, we then require permission from your local council to build the proposed additions. In order for any alterations to be approved by your local council, we have a formal set of Town Planning Drawings drafted.

When your Town Planning Drawings are issued, you then begin the selections process. During this time, you meet with staff who guide you through the process of choosing exactly what fixtures, fittings and finishes you would prefer for your new home. Our staff will advise you where you may view products suitable for your addition or alteration.

ARG oversees this part of the building process for you. As your application proceeds through council, our staff informs you of any developments and provides assistance should there be any objections to the planned development. Planning and building approval usually takes approximately 10 weeks, depending on the individual council and extent of the proposed renovation.

When planning and building approval is granted for your renovation, we will schedule a start date. This is done in conjunction with your availability to move into a rental property, should this be necessary.
