The average home construction project requires eight separate service providers to complete. Managing potential conflicts can lead to unnecessary schedule delays, rising cost, and lots of personal stress.
We believe there's a better way.
MWA offers an integrated approach where we source or manage all required services.
Our Design & Build Process
Our Most Popular Service Offering: Integrated Architecture + Interiors + General Contracting
Step 1
DISCOVER WHAT'S POSSIBLE
We begin with a custom feasibility study grounded in research where we research the development regulations specific to your property and evaluate the condition of your site and home. For a fixed fee, we complete our research, document the existing home and property, and present two custom schemes that address your needs. We provide a construction cost estimate for each scheme to help you better understand your options and assess project feasibility.
Step 2
TAILOR TO YOUR NEEDS
Once feasibility is complete, we continue to the rest of Discovery where we fine tune the scheme to your liking and begin to discuss the look and feel of the spaces with our custom Look+Feel package. Exploring visual and textural elements. We also complete full as-built drawings of your project, if required, to serve as the foundation for our permitting and design development drawing sets.
Step 3
WORK THROUGH THE DETAILS
Once we’ve got a clear direction, it’s time to dive into design. In Design and Planning all selections are made and presented to the clients for review. A Detailed Revit BIM 3D model will be generated for your project to help you visualize the space. Technical drawings are completed, a structural engineer is engaged, and all permit drawings are readied. MWA applies for council approval on your behalf and manages all necessary updates for clearance.
Our trusted network of subcontractors are introduced to the project and bids are provided for work to begin.
Step 4
BUILD YOUR VISION
With a detailed design and a fixed price contract for construction, we’re all set up for a smooth build. Our trustworthy superintendents and project managers handle the day-to-day tasks of scheduling and subcontractor coordination, allowing you mental relief knowing your project is being taken care of. Regular meetings are organized with you and your design team to inspect progress and address any questions. Your construction team provides regular updates on schedule and any tailored customizations. Craft is monitored and subcontractor coordination is managed from start to finish ensuring a top quality home.
