Frequently Asked Questions
-
We provide various services such as architecture design, interior design, construction management, building and maintenance, consulting and feasibility services.
-
We do all projects big and small - from additions to major renovations and heritage restorations.
-
We can take you through the entire process, from providing advice on purchasing a property through to architectural design, council approvals and construction. We can then provide advice on making your property more attractive to potential buyers when you eventually decide to sell.
-
Yes. We have many years’ experience helping our clients gain council approvals in the Inner West and have built up a network of experts we can call on to offer advice and assistance when needed.
-
At Ballast Point, we will work directly with you to ensure a seamless transition between design, approval and construction of your project. Following approval we like to review and revisit the original project objectives to ensure that we are still on track (and sometimes your priorities can change along the way!) Following this, the project architect continues to oversee the project while working directly with the construction team all the way to completion. We will keep you informed at all times through regular site meetings and ongoing communication so that you’re always in the loop and always involved in the process regardless of if you’ve done it a dozen times or if it’s your first time doing any kind of development.
-
Yes, we do offer comprehensive interior design services. Our team of architects and designers are skilled in creating cohesive and functional spaces that reflect our clients' needs and aesthetic. We work closely with our clients to design custom kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior spaces such as living areas, bedrooms and more. We are able to provide a complete service, from architectural design to interior design, and from project management to construction services.
-
We’ve found clients love working with the same team from beginning to end. Input from the construction team at the design stage ensures any potential problems are found and fixed before it gets to the DA stage, which also helps when it comes to managing costs. Find out more about the benefits in our blog.
-
Our advice is to seek recommendations and check Google reviews and testimonials. Look for companies that have experience and expertise in the area you are building or renovating, and know how to deal with the local council. Make sure they are insured and have the correct licences, and ask about their philosophy, process and staffing. Find out more in this blog.
“We'll help you make something truly amazing, with creative designs and local insights in planning and heritage.“
