How it works

You are involved every step of the way.

01

Idea

You bring what you know, what you like and what you need. Lockhart helps you navigate what comes next.

02

Consultation

Together, you develop the ideas and define a clear, specific design brief.

03

Design

Concept plans, a basic site plan, elevations and 3D perspectives are produced and refined with you.

04

Certification

Working drawings and pre-construction documents are completed for certification, approval and construction.

05

Completion

With plans approved, Lockhart can introduce trusted local builders and remain available throughout the build.

From the team

01

New residences

Building a new home is one of the biggest investments most people make. Lockhart designs and documents each home from concept to completion, beginning with a clear understanding of your vision, purpose and budget.

02

Renovations & extensions

A considered renovation can make a home more functional, more comfortable and more valuable. The team listens closely, then designs the best improvement for your changing lifestyle.

03

Interior / exterior design

Concept packages, 3D renders and joinery inspiration boards help clients explore the look, feel and mood of each space before construction begins.

04

Site visits

Slope, soil, views, orientation and the way you want to experience the space all influence a good design. An on-site visit lets the team understand those conditions properly.

Concept / preliminary drawings

Floor plans, a basic site plan, elevations and 3D perspectives are created from your design brief. Four revision stages allow the design to be refined and prepared for builder pricing.

  1. Initial custom concept
  2. Revision and early builder pricing
  3. Budget and detail refinement
  4. Final minor amendments

Construction drawings

Accurately measured drawings document how the design will be built, including site plan, floor plan, elevations, framing or set-out, bracing, sections, drainage, electrical, ventilation and energy-efficiency information.

Lockhart coordinates with builders, engineers, energy assessors, certifiers, surveyors and other trusted professionals.
