Benefits of Partnering with CONTEXT

Partnering with CONTEXT Architects means you benefit from superior design skills, a working knowledge of local authority requirements, strong quality assurance systems and a professional service.

Partnering with CONTEXT Architects means you benefit from the following:

  • Design skills backed up by our Architects’ five years university training. We take your site’s context into account and help you realise your vision. We show you how to make your living space work through 3D renderings, sketches, models, floor plans and examples of materials and samples.
  • Knowledge of council requirements, the 2004 Building Act and New Zealand Building Standards as they apply to your property. The complexity of regulations governing building have increased in recent times. We understand council requirements, and can navigate the consents’ process relatively quickly and cost effectively.
  • Professionalism. CONTEXT Architects provides a professional service upholding the standards of excellence as promoted by the New Zealand Institute of Architects (of which CONTEXT Architects is a practice member).
  • A building programme. CONTEXT Architects creates a building programme for you. It marks the milestones from concept design through to documentation and construction. The advantage of a building programme is the assurance milestones and expected completion dates give.
  • Contract administration on site. CONTEXT Architects administers the building contract between you and your builder, taking the stress and hassle out of the equation for you. As your Architect, we organise weekly meetings at the construction site to ensure the project is on track.
  • Quality assurance. With CONTEXT Architects administering the building contract, you get the ‘peace of mind’ that comes with knowing your building complies with the agreed construction drawings, council requirements and quality standards.
