What the service covers
Site analysis
Levels, shape, orientation, existing utilities and access – everything that sets the limits of what is possible.
Planning conditions and restrictions
We work through plot ratio, landscaping percentage, setbacks and daylight requirements.
Site layout
Buildings are placed to meet the code without giving up usable area.
Traffic and parking
Driveways, turning areas, fire service access, surface and underground parking.
Landscaping
Pedestrian routes, seating areas, play and sports areas – all to the required standards.
Site development metrics
The final figures for the site: density, areas, number of parking spaces.
How it runs
Site data
We gather the survey, the planning conditions and restrictions, and the utility records.
Layout options
We prepare several ways of placing the buildings, each with its own metrics.
Code check
We calculate daylight, fire separation distances and the required landscaping.
Agreeing the option
Together with the client we choose the layout on its metrics against its cost.
Master plan
The final layout is drawn up as part of the design documentation.
Why it pays
More usable area
Placing the buildings well yields extra metres without buying more land.
The code is in from the start
Daylight and fire separation are checked before the design, not after it.
Less risk at approval
A layout that meets the planning conditions from the outset gets approved without being redrawn.
