I’m seeking an experienced, qualified and registered architect to take a medium-scale townhouse in Sydney from concept through to council approval. The brief is for a clean, Modern aesthetic and every drawing must be suitable for Development Application and, complies with local council development control guidelines. Here’s what I need you to handle: • Design & drafting – concept sketches, spatial planning, 3D visuals if helpful, and a full set of detailed drawings right through to construction documentation. • Permit & approval management – preparation of the DA/CC package, any other design related document needed by council until the consent is issued. Acceptance criteria: • All plans produced in Revit, ArchiCAD or AutoCAD and supplied as both editable files in CAD and PDFs. • Drawings must comply with the BCA/NCC, SEPP codes and local DCP/LEP controls. • A minimum of two similar Sydney-based projects in your portfolio that proceeded to approval. • Clear turnaround times for each milestone and prompt responses to council RFIs. If you’re comfortable navigating Sydney councils, have solid DA runs on the board, and can showcase recent modern residential work, I’d like to hear how you’d approach this project and see relevant samples.

Hi, Sterlinggroupau! Thanks for outlining your brief for the modern townhouse project in Sydney. I understand you’re looking for a clean, contemporary design with thorough handling of every stage, from initial concept to council approval, and need an architect with experience navigating the local DA process. I've managed similar residential projects in Sydney that progressed smoothly to council approval. My approach keeps you updated throughout and ensures every requirement—from the BCA and SEPP to local DCP/LEP—is addressed. Here’s how I’d approach your project: - Review all existing info, your brief, and site-specific requirements - Develop design concepts, plans, 3D visuals, and refine through to detailed documentation - Prepare all drawings, calculations, and submission-ready documents - Coordinate feedback and provide ongoing support during council review To get started, it would be helpful to receive any site plans, survey data, photos, council correspondence, and your initial design preferences. I am prepared to talk about your project and can begin right away. Best regards, Charles

Your project for a Sydney Townhouse DA requiring a clean, modern aesthetic and full compliance with local council guidelines immediately brought to mind a recent DA approval I secured for a similar multi-unit development in the Inner West, which also navigated stringent heritage overlays and density controls with a contemporary design. My approach consistently focuses on delivering not just aesthetically pleasing but also council-ready documentation. My process for this project would involve an initial site analysis and thorough review of the relevant Sydney DCP, followed by iterative concept design using SketchUp for rapid visualization and spatial exploration. Detailed technical drawings will be produced in AutoCAD, ensuring precision for council submission. I will meticulously prepare the DA/CC package, including all required plans, elevations, sections, shadow diagrams, and site analysis reports, tailored specifically to your site and the local council’s requirements. To best tailor my proposal, could you clarify the specific council area for this townhouse? Also, are there any existing site constraints or heritage considerations that are particularly critical to address early in the design phase? I am available to discuss this further at your convenience.
