12 REASONS

Whether you are a member of the public or another Architect looking for assistance, you have come to the right place!
If you choose us, your project will be handled by our Prime Architect Paul King [ANZIA, B.Bsc, B.Arch (hons)]

Here's why:

PAUL IS A REGISTERED ARCHITECT: he understands the needs and implications of good design, and understands the higher standards and care that Architects must continually exercise to merit the title.

PAUL IS HIGHLY TRAINED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE: Paul graduated first in his year and first in design at Victoria School of Architecture in 1990, & has had over 18 years experience since, spanning a full range of project types and budgets.

PAUL HAS A RARE COMBINATION OF ABILITIES: Possessing both an Architect's design vision, and an advanced CAD user's discipline, Paul eliminates the conflict between these two skill sets and mind sets, and is uniquely placed to deliver first rate computer based design and design visualisation outcomes for marketing, competition work and Resource Consent impact analysis, or integrated as part of your documentation and client communication processes - more efficiently, more effectively, and to a higher aesthetic standard than can normally be achieved by most Architects alone, or CAD operators alone.

PAUL IS COST EFFECTIVE: Because his specialist skills and equipment need only be accessed as required, practises are freed to invest their focus, resources and staff on more profitable full time activities - meaning lower staff training, salary and equipment overheads for you, yet very competitive “high-tech” outcomes on tap!.

PAUL SIMPLIFIES YOUR LIFE: No messy employment contracts or obligations, no holiday pay, no sick pay, no severance pay, no ACC, no PAYE tax to deal with. Pay him only when you need him.

PAUL ADDS VALUE THROUGHOUT: Your project can be at any stage. Paul can design or work with your designer producing presentation and documentation outcomes that develop and portray the design intent sensitively and to best advantage.

PAUL HAS THE BEST METHODOLOGY :Wherever possible, Paul maximises the benefits of the BIM philosophy which simultaneously links the 2D working drawings to a 3D model right through the design, visualisation and documentation process - allowing the impact of design changes to be efficiently and effectively communicated to clients and consultants, and to maximise marketing outcomes that will raise the practice profile and help secure future work for you.

PAUL HAS THE BEST TECHNOLOGY: Paul uses only the most up to date hardware & software, and is always at the forefront of new developments in the field - giving you access to the latest techniques and capabilities and delivering ever improving outcomes to you and your clients

PAUL IS AN I. T. GURU: Paul can help practices specify and implement up-to-date, balanced and cost effective I. T. solutions. . You can consult him on data backup, troubleshooting, installing & updating software, and on ways to get the best out of your existing systems. Paul can source and evaluate the best hardware deals around for you at any given time, and build, test and set up PC's and whole network systems to your requirements.. Most importantly, he can communicate with you about these things using everyday language!

PAUL IS CONNECTED: He need not consume any Practice office space or resources and can work comfortably and effectively with you via the internet using e-mail, Skype, video conferencing, FTP transfer etc. to whatever level your organization can support. Paul can even be working while your office is closed!

PAUL IS PORTABLE: If required Paul can work in house on projects - allowing you and your staff to "pick his brains" as required to permanently improve your own skills, systems and efficiency.

PAUL IS AFFORDABLE: All services are offered at extremely reasonable rates whether on an hourly, percentage or lump sum basis - please contact us to discuss your project!
