Every project in this archive follows the same method: record the site first, note what was specified and why, and treat the trades as part of the design rather than an afterthought. What follows is the reasoning behind that order.
The method behind every build in the archive is documentation first. We record what the site allows, what the drawings say, and what each trade needs before anyone picks up a tool. The steps below are the same whether it is a kitchen rebuild or a small addition.
We measure the rooms, check slope and drainage, note tree cover, setback lines, and where the existing utilities run. Anything that will shape the build gets written down before drawings start.
Floor plan sketches show how walls move and where the layout changes. Alongside them we log what is specified and why, from timber species and joint details to tile thickness and grout color.
Permit timelines are logged as part of the record, not treated as an afterthought. We flag which decisions are reversible and which ones lock the schedule once they are made.
Framers, electricians, plumbers, and finishers are sequenced as a design input. Who comes when shapes what can actually be built, so the order is planned before demolition begins.
Work is photographed as it progresses, including the parts that will be covered up later. Budget ranges are noted as context for the archive, not as quotes for future work.
The finished project is paired with its original photographs and plan sketches, so the change in layout stays legible. Craft that ages well is the goal, not finishes that date in a season.
The same method carries across every entry in the archive. If you want the longer version of how decisions get made, the capabilities page covers the trades and scope we work with, and the resources page holds the reference notes on materials and permits.
Questions about a project in the archive, a drawing, or a material note usually come in by email. If you are mid-renovation and something needs a faster answer, call the office directly and leave a short message with your street and the trade you are dealing with.
Best for briefs, plan questions, and anything with a photo or sketch attached. Include your street, rough scope, and timeframe so we can point you to the right reference project.

Most answers already sit in the archive notes. If you want the longer version of how a decision was made, the resources page collects the drawings and material write-ups, and the contact page is where a short brief starts.
