How did you hear about Harmonic Design? * Search engine Social media Word of mouth Print media advertising Professional Referral Other: Do you know that we identify as a Building Designer and are you familiar with this term? * Services differ between a Draftsperson, Building Designer or an Architect. In reality a Building Designer can provide very similar services to an Architect, we're not very different but the formal use of the word 'Architect' is ‘protected’ to those who are registered with the Architect's Board. This ultimately gives them the potential to administer an ABIC works contract - a minor limitation and potentially a project constraint (depending on your budget and builder). At Harmonic, we can generally undertake full project services in many jurisdictions, including SA, Victoria, NT and WA with some restrictions in NSW and TAS. Yes No If you already have a concept plan in mind, what do you expect from us in terms of engaging with those ideas? It's reasonably common that clients have ideas and sometimes full concept plans. Often enough client's plans do not reduce our workload or may not be fit for purpose, but they do help set the tone for discussion. Select A, B or C. You can email any plans, drawings or reference imagery separately. A: Follow our plans completely and without deviation, we only need someone to draft our design and provide technical drawings. B: Use our sketch as the basis for discussion with expectation that we will engage Harmonic Design’s expertise for design and technical detail. C: Our sketch is only a relational diagram with consideration of functional arrangements. We would like Harmonic Design to evaluate and assess our ideas and we are open to consider alternative design direction.
