To make the most of our initial consultation, please have a clear vision of your project's goals, timeline, and budget. Sharing your project brief, budget, and site address helps us provide accurate guidance on local construction rates and timeframes. Reference images of homes you admire can also help us understand your desired style and materials, which impact build complexity and costs. For any questions, feel free to call us or email info@johnstonejohnson.com, and we'll guide you through the next steps!

The design and construction timeline varies based on the project's scale and location (DA approval times differ between Councils). Generally, it takes about 12 months to complete the design, approvals, and documentation, with construction taking anywhere from 14 to 24 months. We'll provide specific timeframes during our initial discussions, based on your project and our workload. Typically, you can expect 2 to 3 years from our first meeting to moving into your new home.

The cost of our services varies depending on the site, design scale, and required documentation. After our initial discussions, where we understand your project brief, timeframes, and potential costs, we will provide a detailed service agreement outlining our services and architectural fees.

Yes, we collaborate with several builders to provide accurate guidance on current market costs for projects of your scale and complexity. Our initial efforts focus on offering supported and sustainable guidance so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed with your project.
