  • Would you like to know whether a child care facility development on your site is permitted under local council and state government rules?

  • Do you need to know how many child care places can be achieved on your development site to determine the financial feasibility of your development?

Project Works Design now offer a Child Care Facility Feasibility Report. Our report will answer all of these questions and more. We will provide all the relevant information to determine the permissibility of your Child Care Facility under both your local council planning rules and regulations as well as the relevant state government planning legislation and regulation.

How to Prepare for your Design Project

A good working relationship with your building design professional is based on open, honest communication. This starts with a good brief that helps the designer understand your expectations, preferences, budget, wants, needs, aspirations and goals.

If your expectations are not clearly outlined and understood by all parties, you run the risk of spending unnecessary money, project complications, and costly delays. The designer and builder will struggle to understand what to include when pricing your project.

A well thought-out design brief is the foundation for a successful project. This guide will help you cover critical aspects of a design brief.
