Need some help getting started? Cain Built can take care of the entire building process from start to finish. We have relationships with some of the best architects and draughtsman in the industry and can suggest a short-list best fit for your project and budget for you to choose from. From there they will help transform your ideas into working plans. They will also give you options to think about so you can make an informed decision. Our team have a great eye for detail, so it’s often worth running plans past us prior to them being submitted to Council, as we may spot potential issues with the design – this has saved many clients a lot of money in the past.
If you have an architect already in mind (or existing plans) and prefer to work with them, that’s also fine. We’ll communicate with your architect directly and promptly so that they can get started.
If you decide to make changes to your plans down the line don’t worry, it’s covered through a variation to the contract. We’ll give you some options to consider and ample time to then decide what will best suit you and your budget.
A great design is simply an expensive exercise unless it is built to similarly high standards. We take pride in the work we do and have built close relationships with our sub-trades, so we know the team we have on site are all experts in their field and can deliver on your expectations.
