Design and development appraisals are essential for property buyers, looking to undertake any kind of renovation or
development project.
Understand The Full Potential Of A Property
Who are they for?
Property buyers with intentions of refurbishing or rennovating a dwelling that’s for sale, often start with the same questions including:
- “Will I be able to make the changes I want to the building?”
- “How can I make the best use of space?”
- “How much is the project likely to cost?”
- “How long will it take to complete?”
- “Are there any planning, conservation and heritage risks?”
- “How can I best mitigate these risks?”.
Early design & development appraisals help prospective buyers of prime residential property scope the full design potential of a property pre-purchase.
How they work?
Our consultations are designed to help you define a viable and ultimate vision of your new residence. Should you acquire the property, there is no obligation to use Janine Stone & Co. as your main contractor. If you decide to continue with us, we’ll be glad to lead you through all project phases across planning, design and build.
Depending on the circumstances, pre-purchase design and development appraisals might include:
- A telephone or in-person consultation to understand your requirements for the property being considered.
- A professional view on the design and development opportunities of the property.
- Alternative floor plans – to visually demonstrate any possible changes to the property size and configuration
- A visit to the property with you, to guide you through the possibilities of the property.
What Are The Benefits?
- Design inspiration – Sometimes it takes an experienced interior designer and architect to see the full potential of a property.
- Risk reduction – Changes you thought were possible to make to a property may later be blocked without proper due diligence. This can be very expensive to correct if you have already acquired the property. Our design team grounds their observations in decades of experience, knowing what various planning authorities, like and don’t like to approve.
- An estimate of project costs & timeline – Provides a finer view of what’s required to achieve your vision and whether it is feasible.
