Our Approach
Every project starts from a different place.
Some clients arrive with completed plans. Others are considering a renovation, evaluating a property purchase or exploring what may be possible within their home. Some have a clear direction, while others are seeking clarity around where to begin.
Before preparing proposals or recommending services, we take the time to understand how you live, what matters most to you and what you are hoping to achieve from the project. We review relevant plans, imagery, project information and existing conditions to establish a clear understanding of the opportunity, project scope and desired outcome.
Following the consultation, we prepare a tailored design proposal outlining the recommended service, project brief, proposed scope of works and design fee estimate.
Whether a client chooses to proceed with Patina Design Studio or independently, the consultation is intended to provide greater clarity, confidence and direction moving forward.
Who It's For
Homeowners, property purchasers and developers seeking clarity before committing to significant design, construction or furnishing decisions.
Whether you are planning a renovation, new build, furnishing project or property purchase, the consultation provides an independent assessment of the opportunity and a clear recommendation on the most appropriate next steps.
Consultation Fee
The consultation fee is $1,200 and includes up to two hours of consultation time, a detailed project brief, proposed scope of works, fee estimate and tailored next steps
Additional travel fees may apply for projects located more than 15km from our Dover Heights office.
