Building Design

The process of designing and building a new home, extension or even a commercial property can be a very overwhelming experience for some people. Creed Design recognizes this and is able to guide our clients through the entire process thus preventing the worry and hassle that often occurs when a client tries to go it alone!

The Building Design process starts with an initial consultation with Brenden where the client will detail exactly what they are looking for. This is often done through a written brief prepared by the client or just verbally in the initial meeting. Once the brief is prepared Brenden then moves into the design and drafting stages. See below for a full description of each of the stages involved!
