After 20 years in the Architectural Design business we are closing our doors. We will continue to support our clients on existing projects with ‘after hours’ work but we won’t be accepting any new projects. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the fantastic clients that have supported us over the years, it’s been amazing to see the things we’ve achieved together.

> Our Process

  • At ArchiDesign we like to complete what we call a “Dreams vs. Budget Review” before getting into the design phase. This includes establishing the project brief, site research, budget analysis, and more based on the individual process. By doing this we reduce risk, eliminate assumptions and investigate options, which aims to save you time and money down the line!

  • At this stage we start to design concepts based on your ideas, the brief, budget and research from our Dreams vs. Budget Review. This stage is about getting ideas on paper and exploring options to begin discussions.

  • At this stage we have confirmed a concept to move forward with and are working through that design with you. We develop the design and get into the details taking onboard feedback along the way. By the end of this stage we should have a design ready for sign off to begin documentation.

  • At this stage we finalize all required documentation and confirming it all with you. We produce fully detailed plans, sections and elevations, construction details and project specifications and also engage third parties on your behalf where required.

  • We prepare and submit your application to local authority, obtaining resource consent where necessary and answer RFI’s as required. We can then issue approved plans to client and main contractor and can update documentation to include changes from building consent as required throughout the construction phase.

  • “ArchiDesign has completed all my student flats designs for the past 15 years as well as being the designer on several builds I completed as a builder. Hamish has a real understanding of design vs. costs and a great understanding of the council zoning rules that exist at the university. Highly recommend for all your commercial and residential drawings.”

  • “We recently used the team at ArchiDesign for a large commercial renovation and fit-out design to accommodate 100+ staff in Vogel Street EdTech company. We found them extremely responsive, professional, and informative throughout the design, consent and building process.

    Hamish’s expertise and experience allowed us to achieve a fantastic result. They were able to offer multiple solutions and different possibilities whenever a problem in the building process came up. ArchiDesign, as a team, were able to exceed our expectations from the brief provided, within budget, and on time. We would recommend them to any company looking to complete a renovation, fresh design, or new office fit-out.”

  • “ArchiDesign have designed and helped manage the construction of a block of 6 high end townhouses, a commercial building, and a house renovation for me. Hamish and the team have been exceptional to work with.

    I complement them on their ability to design a superior product while still meeting budget.”

  • “I have worked with Hamish McCaul and his team at ArchiDesign on more the 5 projects now, both hospitality and residential. They are extremely knowledgeable on architectural detail and compliance, are fast, efficient and will always meet deadlines regardless of how tight they are. They add considerable value to whatever project we’ve worked on together.”

  • “We engaged ArchiDesign for a major renovation and found them to be very professional in all dealings. They offered some out of the box solutions which once implemented worked well. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend”

  • “Hamish and his team have done a few jobs for us and we have only ever found them to be professional, quick and helpful. Would highly recommend ArchiDesign!”

  • “ArchiDesign have worked with us on several projects over the past few years and have always listened and provided results without any hassle at all. Totally professional!”
