    Our Process

    Arkit’s process for design and delivery of residential projects combines a full scope architectural design service with construction delivery.

    01.

    Project Assessment & Proposal

    We undertake a preliminary assessment of your project requirements and provide you with an estimate of likely construction costs, as well as a fee proposal for design services.
    For more complex projects we undertake a detailed review of your site and specific project requirements. This may include structural checks for second story additions, assessment of authority requirements, review of access logistics or construction methodology.

    02.

    Schematic Design

    During this stage we collaborate with you to develop a design brief for the project. We then explore various options to develop a site specific design response. We advise you of the external consultant requirements necessary to complete your project and prepare a preliminary cost estimate based on your preferred design.

    03.

    Town Planning

    We work with you to identify and obtain necessary approvals required for your project. This includes the preparation of a Town Planning Package and liaison with council (if required) and the relevant specialist consultants.

    04.

    Design Development

    The schematic design is developed into a final design solution, including materials, fittings and fixtures selections. Our team will guide you through the process to develop a bespoke response to suit your needs and way of life.
    At this stage we prepare a revised cost estimate, considering the client selections.

    05.

    Documentation

    Our specialist team of architects and designers prepare a full set of construction drawings.
    We submit the relevant documents to the Building Surveyor in order to obtain a building permit, and prepare a MBAV Construction Contract and program for your project. A final cost estimate at this stage ensures cost certainty through to the completion of construction.

    06.

    Construction

    Our expert team of building professionals carry out the construction of the project, from offsite work in our workshop through to delivery, installation and finishing touches on site. The home is efficiently completed to turnkey – ready to be lived in and enjoyed.

    Testimonials

    • “We are loving our new home and cannot thank you enough for the fantastic end result, and for working so hard to our tight timeframes. We could not be happier with the end result. It’s fantastic!”

      Double Trouble client

    • “Craig and his team produced a beautifully constructed building. It was a collaborative effort from all involved and personally one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve been involved in, which I know is echoed by our wider team.”

      The Peak House client

    • “Life in our first fully prefab house is going well – the garden is growing nicely and the utility bills are much lower than when we lived in the terrace in Carlton North. The double-glazed windows frame some lovely views of the trees that are growing up in our neighbours' yards and let in heaps of natural light (we couldn't go back to living in a damp, dark terrace!)”

      Little City client

    • "Thank you Arkit for your care, skill and consideration which turned our initial ideas into a beautiful home. All of your team have been a pleasure to work with and, although we can’t believe we are saying this, we will miss seeing them every day."

      Clinkers client

    • "You Arkit guys were and are amazing.. the houses are more beautiful than we imagined. It blew me away to see so precisely, but somehow better, in real life what we have only been able to visualise for so very long. We were also so impressed by how smoothly and professionally the whole weekend went – every man on that site was calm, skilled, constantly attentive and friendly."
