Contract Administration

Prior to any job commencing, we advise on typical associated consultants that are likely to be required for a project which we engage on your behalf. We review all documentation received from any external consultant to ensure compliance and applicability. We also offer full coordination services with consultants engaged by you.

All works require a building permit unless exempt under the Building Act. You should always have a professional check prior to any works occurring at any time. Our team is well-versed in building regulations and permit requirements to ensure a smooth process before and during construction.

An architect registered under the ARBV will typically charge for services as a percentage of the cost of construction. Bq Architects also offers fixed pricing on jobs where budgets are certain and the scope of works is well defined. Charges are heavily dependent on the size of the project and the scope or services required.

BQ architects now conduct all business using the latest BIM software, meaning everything we draw on paper has already been built in 3d, ready for you to tour virtually. Our photo realistic artist impressions will show your dreams come to life and ensure a smooth design process with no ambiguities.

In today’s market it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict fluctuations in pricing. Our tender and construction team are constantly working with a multitude of builders and contractors which will ensure we are always advising you on the most up-to-date pricing trends and estimates for your brief.
