We thrive on the unique set of challenges every project presents regardless of type, client, location and budget. It comes back to what sits at our core; a capability that draws on exceptional design and documentation skills complemented with leading-edge architectural technology. It’s seen us deliver everything from hotels to childcare facilities; aged care projects to affordable housing; marine research centres to multi-residential apartments.

Listening. It’s an art form in itself, and that’s where we start on every project. Design takes a backseat until we understand completely your wants and needs; constraints and opportunities; budgets and critical timeframes. Only then can we deliver an architectural and build response that is totally aligned with your goals and expectations. Here’s how we do it.
Innovating with technology
Adopting the latest 3D and VR technology, we virtually build the project prior to constructing it physically, enabling clients and stakeholders to ‘walk through’ our model during the design phase. All our documentation is done completely in 3D using Autodesk Revit, allowing us to carefully consider and incorporate every element – from duct work to electrical fittings. It’s a critical component of our quality management and efficiency.
Big picture to tiny details
Our tech focus also enables us to simplify the functional and program resolution aspects of the design – getting all of the hidden and complex details exactly right, so that each project functions beautifully when it’s complete. This also helps to avoid any surprises once building starts on site.
Clear communication & accountability
Every member of the project team has access to best practice cloud-based software to seamlessly and effectively record project progress and manage communications. This greatly enhances collaboration and accountability around project milestones and deliverables, ensuring each task is recorded and actioned with a completion due date – from project visioning and feasibility studies through to site planning, tender documentation and interior design. What this then leads to is great architecture that is fit for purpose now and into the future.
Bringing BIM benefits
Revit, our Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, is a game-changer in improving productivity, creating a more innovative workspace, and reducing costs, risk and construction waste – all significant benefits for the client. Its power is in simplifying details and data to make projects easier to read and convey ideas and attributes. This results in faster design and documentation processes and fosters an environment of teamwork; a hallmark of Whitehaus.
