How can we help you?
Have you heard any building or renovating horror stories like projects going way over budget, or people having issues with poor building quality?
That’s because 95% of houses in Australia aren’t designed by someone equipped to prevent it from happening. Expert advice at the start of your project will always save you money AND reduce the stress of your renovation or new build.
JRa works with people who want to maximise their budget and minimise the stress.
We take our clients through a very deliberate and carefully curated process that enables them to make informed decisions about their project, without over committing and finding themselves in a financial hole, for something they regret doing.
Here are the 3 ways we can help:
PROJECT REVIEW

Are you about to sign a contract and want to be sure you have everything?
ASK AN ARCHITECT
Are you unsure where to start?

Services & Fees
Jason Ross architect can help you with your project; right from the start and all the way to the end,
A 'Project Review' consultation is relevant at any point in the designing or documenting stages of the building process and before you sign that building contract. There are two types of consultations;
DESIGN REVIEW
A design review is applicable if your project is in the early or middle of the design stage and answers these questions:
-
How does the design respond to your property and the environment?
-
Is the 'flow' and layout of rooms and spaces effective?
-
Will the design and elements in the design function the way you want?
-
Is the design maximising your livability and experience?
-
Are there any issues we can't see in the design?
-
Is the design effective for your budget?
-
What areas need to be examined more closely to get a better result?
-
and more.....
TECHNICAL REVIEW
A technical review is applicable in the later stages of a project and typically before going to the market to obtain pricing, after you have received that pricing or, before signing a contract with a selected builder. This review answers these questions:
-
Does this design accomplish what I want?
-
Is there anything missing?
-
What do I need in the documents to avoid costly variations?
-
What are the things I need to consider in my written agreement**?
-
Are there any areas where I can reduce the cost?
-
What should I pay attention to during construction?
-
and more.....
**Please note that JRa does not provide legal advice. Any information provided relating to legal matters is only an opinion and JRa ALWAYS recommends speaking with a qualified and experienced legal professional who is familiar with construction contracts for your legal advice.
An 'Ask an Architect' consultation is the perfect first step if you're not sure about where to begin your project or have some ideas that you want to explore.
It's an informal chat about the potential of your project, including who else you need on your team, is your budget sufficient, and anything else to give you clear 'next steps' and in the right direction.
'Architectural Services' is what you need if you are ready to get started on your project.
We provide a fully customized service and fee structure to suit your budget, brief, and requirements to create an extraordinary design, document it, and help you deliver it through construction, so you can leverage our time, knowledge, and experience to avoid the stress and worry of keeping it on time and budget.
