New Builds

New homes can range from small to large, single storey on the flat through to multi storey on a steep hillside. They may be simple or complex and with multiple claddings and junctions. We've worked on them all. The aim is to design the house that suits you and your lifestyle.

Commercial

From shop fit-outs to upgrading facilities to ensure your commercial spaces meets the council requirements, we can help you get the consents you need in order to get up and running with your business as quickly as possible.

Renovations

Renovations can be challenging projects as we're working with something that is existing and adding something new. These can range from simply adding a set of french doors or installing a new ensuite  right through to a large extension or re-clad that completely changes how your home looks.

PROJECT OUTLINE

Process

The Brief

The first step is to have a consultation with you. We discuss what you want to achieve and establish your wants and needs. We will ask you questions to establish some of the parameters that you may not have considered. You may have been thinking about what you want for years and have some ideas, or you may know what you want to achieve but have no idea how. Either way we can work from there.

 

The Design

After receiving your brief we turn our discussions into designs modelled with 3D computer software to provide you with plans and images allowing you to explore possible compromises and opportunities by showing you different approaches to the design.

 

The Documentation

After we have confirmed your design, we put together all the technical information about how it will be constructed. The first part of this is to produce the technical information that can be used for the builders and other consultants involved in the project. The second part is to produce all the detail around how the building will be constructed as required for council consent.

WHAT YOU SAY

Testimonials

Paula was a pleasure to deal with and kept in constant contact with us during the whole process, so much so that when we came across a few curveballs, she even organised a tradie to help find a solution.

Completely professional, keeping our goals in mind, very creative in giving us multiple design options we would not have even considered, sensitive to our cost considerations, great attention to detail and impeccable final consent plans that were passed first time with the Council.

Cannot recommend Go Architecture highly enough. Very impressed. A+++

Amanda Oliver

We hired Paula to completely redesign our 1910 villa, including a new floor layout, new garage, new deck and a loft conversion. Paula has been excellent from start to finish. She listened carefully to what we wanted while also making her own suggestions for things we should consider. The most pleasing part of working with Paula has been how responsive and helpful she is. She has tended to answer emails within hours, if not minutes, and has always been prepared to answer any questions I might have and explain things in more detail. Paula has also been fantastic at liaising with the engineers and other professionals. It’s safe to say that we wouldn’t have made it through the design stage as quickly as we did without Paula’s dedication and attention to detail.

From a technical perspective Paula’s plans have been top notch, sailing through the Building Consent and Resource Consent process with relative ease. I can’t speak highly enough of her work – I’m very pleased we involved her in our project.

Matt Phillips

Paula has to be one of the most knowledgeable and fair designers I have come to know. She is always professional in her manner. Her good  advice to clients and builders alike ensures all her designs meet local territorial regulations and the building code. We love working alongside her.

I would highly recommend anyone to use her service!

Candice Barr

Thank you Paula and Chau for helping the dreams I had for my house become a reality.

I really appreciated your friendly and efficient end-to-end service and your attention to detail in listening to my ideas and creating the designs through to adjusting and completing the plans and technical drawings, writing up the specifications, and successfully applying for the building consent.

Your communication was excellent throughout and I really enjoyed working with you. Thank you.
