Community Services
Designing for Economy
Designing and building projects to a tight budget can be challenging. We help by:
Preparing an estimated project budget;
Obtaining transparent quotes from consultants;
Smart specification systems using building materials that are quality, have longevity and are able to withstand end user demands.
We design community projects for economy without sacrificing quality.
We believe innovative design can add value without adding to a community project’s price tag.
Context Architects has experience working with not-for-profit trusts, sports associations and Government housing agencies.
Context Architects offers a full Architectural service for community projects.
The things that are important in community projects are:
- design innovations that give an edge but at the same time fit your budget
- special needs and accessible design for people with disabilities and the elderly
- cost control mechanisms to ensure build costs are managed and contained
- good communication with stakeholders. Allowing enough time in the programme for stakeholder review, discussion and agreement.
The architectural process can be complex; we understand this and can guide you through it. Context's '12 step Architectural Process' is the best start to understanding what you do and what we do at each stage - email studio@context.net.nz and we will send it out to you.
