Discover Archbuild’s Amelior project, a major luxury strata townhouse renovation in Sydney. This custom renovation features innovative design, superior craftsmanship, and bespoke construction, transforming townhouses into luxurious modern homes. Amelior — Luxury Townhouse Renovation Discuss Your Extension & Renovation Project Amelior is a major strata townhouse renovation designed and built by Archbuild in North Sydney, transforming an ageing residence into a refined, contemporary and highly functional home. The project involved architectural redesign, complex approval coordination, extensive interior renovation and careful construction within an established strata community. From the kitchen and living areas to the bathrooms and converted attic space, Amelior demonstrates how an existing townhouse can be substantially improved through considered design and carefully managed delivery. A Major Strata Townhouse Transformation Amelior was developed as a comprehensive renovation of an existing strata-titled townhouse. The objective was to improve space, light, functionality and interior quality while working within the constraints of the existing building and strata environment. Archbuild provided architectural design, approvals coordination and construction delivery, allowing the design intent, technical requirements and building works to be managed as one coordinated process. The completed renovation introduces a modern interior character while retaining and improving the underlying structure and value of the original home. Project: Amelior Type: Major townhouse renovation Service: Design and build Status: Completed Location: North Sydney, NSW Property context: Strata-titled townhouse Key focus: Interior transformation, approvals and attic conversion By: Archbuild From an Outdated Townhouse to a Refined Contemporary Home The original residence had dated interiors and spaces that no longer supported the client’s lifestyle or expectations. Archbuild reworked the home to improve spatial flow, functionality, natural light and material quality. The renovation introduced a more cohesive relationship between the kitchen, living areas and private rooms while creating a contemporary architectural character throughout. Before — Existing Kitchen After — Kitchen Renovation Before — Existing Living Area After — Renovated Living Space Modernising the Home While Working with the Existing Structure The design approach focused on achieving a substantial transformation without losing sight of the constraints and opportunities of the existing townhouse. Layouts, finishes, joinery and architectural elements were reconsidered to improve everyday use and give the home a more refined and consistent identity. The design aimed to make the residence feel more spacious, connected and contemporary while ensuring the proposed work remained practical to approve and construct. Navigating Strata, Council and Construction Approvals A major renovation within a strata property requires more than architectural design and building work. It also requires careful coordination with strata management, consultants, certifiers, neighbours and relevant approval authorities. For Amelior, Archbuild worked with the client through the approval process, attended strata discussions, responded to stakeholder concerns and coordinated the documentation required for the project to proceed. This early and ongoing coordination helped address approval risks and allowed the design and construction process to move forward with greater clarity. This is a particularly valuable section because it differentiates Amelior from an ordinary cosmetic renovation. The current page states that Archbuild participated in strata meetings, addressed neighbour concerns and communicated with the client’s lawyer when required. A Contemporary Kitchen at the Centre of the Home The renovated kitchen was designed as a central part of the home’s living experience, combining functionality, refined finishes and a stronger connection with the surrounding spaces. Joinery, work surfaces, appliances, lighting and circulation were coordinated to create a kitchen suited to everyday use and entertaining. The updated arrangement gives the interior a more open, cohesive and contemporary character. Refined Finishes and Carefully Resolved Interiors The renovation extended beyond the main living spaces to improve the home’s bathrooms, bedrooms and architectural details. Material selections, fixtures, lighting, flooring and joinery were coordinated to create a consistent interior language. The result is a home that feels refined and contemporary while remaining practical and comfortable for everyday use. ransforming the Attic into Valuable Living Space The project included the conversion and improvement of the existing attic area, creating additional usable space within the townhouse. The attic works required careful consideration of access, structure, services, head height, waterproofing and integration with the existing residence. The completed space adds functionality and value while feeling connected to the broader renovation. Carefully Managed Construction in a Strata Environment Construction within an occupied strata complex requires disciplined site management, communication and consideration of neighbouring properties. Archbuild coordinated the building works with attention to sequencing, access, noise, protection of common areas, trade management and workmanship. The architectural design and construction stages were managed together, helping maintain the design intent while responding to practical site conditions. Design and Build by Archbuild Amelior reflects Archbuild’s integrated approach to complex residential renovations. By providing architectural design, approval coordination and construction delivery, Archbuild was able to manage the project as one connected process—from the early design decisions and strata discussions through to the final finishes and completed building work. The result is a substantially improved townhouse that combines contemporary design, practical planning and carefully coordinated construction.

Discover the key structural features of Archbuild homes in Sydney. We specialise in innovative design and construction, utilising steel and concrete piles, elevated concrete slabs, steel frame construction, advanced concrete systems, double-glazed windows, and sustainable practices to build high-quality custom homes. Structural Quality and Construction Systems by Archbuild Discuss Your Project Archbuild is a Sydney architect-builder delivering luxury custom homes, major renovations and selected residential projects across Sydney Hills, the North Shore and Greater Sydney. This page explains some of the structural systems and construction methods Archbuild has used or may recommend, including piling, elevated concrete slabs, steel framing, lightweight concrete systems, double glazing and engineered solutions for sites affected by sewer assets. The appropriate construction system is selected for each project according to the site conditions, geotechnical information, structural engineering, architectural design, planning and authority requirements, energy-performance objectives, budget and client brief. Not every system described on this page is required or suitable for every home. Steel and Concrete Piling for Challenging Sites On sites where near-surface soil does not provide adequate support for the proposed building, the structural engineer may specify steel screw piles, bored concrete piles or another deep-foundation system. Piles transfer building loads through weaker ground to soil or rock strata with suitable bearing capacity. The type, depth, spacing and capacity of the piles are determined from geotechnical information, structural loads, site access and the engineer’s design. Archbuild has experience coordinating piling systems for custom homes and complex residential sites where ground conditions require more than a conventional shallow footing solution. Elevated and Suspended Concrete Slabs Depending on the site levels, soil conditions, drainage, access and architectural design, an elevated or suspended concrete slab may be used instead of a conventional slab-on-ground. Where piles are required, the slab and supporting beams can be engineered to transfer the building loads to the piling system. An elevated floor may also assist with site drainage, ventilation, service access and inspection beneath the building, depending on the design. Waterproofing, stormwater management, termite management and subfloor detailing remain separate design requirements and must be resolved for each project. Steel-Frame and Structural-Steel Construction Archbuild has used steel framing and structural-steel systems where they support the architectural design, structural spans, construction methodology and long-term performance objectives of the project. Steel can provide high strength, dimensional consistency and the ability to achieve long spans, cantilevers and slender structural elements. It is also resistant to rot and is not a food source for termites. Steel framing does not remove the need for termite-management measures, because termites can still enter a building and damage plasterboard linings, joinery and other cellulose-based materials. Steel must also be properly insulated and detailed to manage thermal bridging and condensation. The choice between steel, timber or a hybrid structural system is made project by project, in consultation with the structural engineer and other relevant consultants. Lightweight Concrete Floor and Wall Systems Where appropriate, Archbuild may use proprietary lightweight concrete systems, such as autoclaved aerated concrete for floors and walls construction. These systems can reduce structural self-weight while providing useful thermal, acoustic and fire-performance characteristics. Their performance depends on the selected product, panel thickness, reinforcement, insulation, joints, coatings and installation method. The complete system must be coordinated with the structural design, waterproofing, façade detailing, services and manufacturer’s technical requirements. Where a proprietary system is proposed, Archbuild considers its performance, buildability, availability, durability and compatibility with the overall architectural design. Brick, Masonry and External Wall Systems Brick, blockwork, lightweight concrete and framed cladding systems can each be appropriate when selected and detailed for the project. Brick veneer is a recognised residential construction system. Its performance depends on correct structural ties, cavity detailing, flashings, damp-proof courses, insulation, articulation joints, drainage and workmanship. Solid masonry can provide durability, thermal mass and acoustic benefits, but it also increases structural weight and embodied impacts. Brick veneer generally provides less internal thermal mass than reverse brick veneer or solid masonry because the brick layer is outside the insulated framed wall. Archbuild assesses external-wall systems according to architectural character, thermal and acoustic performance, structural requirements, moisture management, maintenance, embodied impacts, cost and buildability rather than recommending one material for every project. Double-Glazed Window Systems Archbuild commonly recommends double-glazed window systems where thermal comfort, energy efficiency, acoustic performance or condensation control are important project objectives. The performance of a window depends on more than the number of glass panes. Glass type, cavity width, frame material, thermal breaks, seals, opening type, installation quality, orientation and shading all affect the result. Window systems should therefore be selected using project-specific performance information, including U-value, solar heat-gain coefficient and acoustic ratings where relevant. Building Near or Over Sewer Assets Archbuild has experience working on residential sites affected by existing sewer infrastructure. Building over or close to a sewer asset requires project-specific investigation, authority requirements, structural engineering and careful coordination of the building foundations. Depending on the location, condition and ownership of the asset, an approved solution may involve maintaining required clearances, replacing part of the pipeline, concrete encasement, access provisions or engineered bridge beams that transfer building loads away from the sewer. Any proposed solution must be assessed and approved for the particular site before construction proceeds. Sustainability and Whole-of-Life Performance Archbuild considers sustainability as part of the relationship between architectural design, structural systems, material selection and construction delivery. Project decisions may consider orientation, passive solar design, shading, natural ventilation, insulation, glazing, thermal mass, operational energy, embodied impacts, durability, maintenance, water management and the potential for future adaptation. No single construction material is automatically the most sustainable choice in every situation. The appropriate solution depends on climate, site conditions, quantity of material, construction method, expected service life and the effect that the material has on the building’s ongoing energy use. As both architect and builder, Archbuild can consider these issues during design and continue coordinating them through documentation, procurement and construction. Learn more about Archbuild’s approach to sustainable home design Important note The construction systems shown on this page are examples of approaches used or considered by Archbuild. Final structural, geotechnical, waterproofing, energy, fire, acoustic and authority requirements are determined separately for each project by the relevant consultants, certifiers, manufacturers and approval authorities.

Archbuild, Sydney’s expert duplex builders, specialises in custom design and construction services. From modern architectural designs to efficient project management, we create high-quality duplex homes and townhouses tailored to your needs. Duplex Design and Build Services in Sydney Discuss Your Duplex Project Explore Our Projects Archbuild provides architectural design and construction services for custom duplexes, dual occupancies and selected boutique townhouse projects across Sydney. As both architects and builders, we consider site potential, planning controls, privacy, orientation, vehicle access, construction cost and buildability from the early stages through approvals, documentation, construction and handover. Our service is suited to homeowners, families and property owners seeking a carefully designed residential development rather than a standardised project-home solution. Architect-Designed Duplexes Shaped Around the Site A successful duplex must accommodate two homes while creating privacy, natural light, functional outdoor areas and an appropriate relationship with the surrounding streetscape. The best outcome rarely comes from placing two standard floor plans side by side. Every site presents different opportunities and constraints, including frontage, orientation, slope, access, neighbouring development, existing trees, easements, stormwater and planning controls. Archbuild develops each duplex design in response to the property and the intended use of the two dwellings. This may involve attached or detached forms, mirrored or individually planned residences, separate entries, basement or at-grade parking, and different arrangements for private open space. The objective is to create two well-resolved homes that feel considered individually while forming one coherent architectural development. Duplex Feasibility and Site Potential Before commencing detailed design, it is important to understand whether the property is suitable for the proposed development. An early duplex assessment may consider: applicable planning controls and approval pathways; lot size, frontage and site dimensions; building height, setbacks and landscaped-area requirements; vehicle access and parking; slope, excavation and retaining requirements; significant trees and vegetation; stormwater and drainage; easements and underground services; privacy, overshadowing and neighbouring properties; likely building area and dwelling arrangement; and preliminary construction implications. Not every site will support the same type or scale of development. Early assessment helps identify major constraints before substantial time and money are committed to design and consultant work. Learn about our Feasibility and Cost Estimate Services Custom Duplex Architectural Design A custom duplex provides the opportunity to design each dwelling around its future occupants, property objectives and relationship with the site. The two residences do not necessarily need to be identical. One dwelling may be designed for the owner while the other is intended for sale, rental or extended family. Different floor areas, bedroom arrangements, living spaces and levels of finish may be appropriate. The architectural design may consider: independent entries and street presence; privacy between the two homes; natural light and ventilation; efficient circulation and room planning; kitchen, dining and living relationships; bedroom separation; private open space; acoustic separation; garage and driveway arrangements; adaptable or multigenerational living; façade composition and material selection; and long-term maintenance and market appeal. Archbuild aims to create duplexes that feel like two genuine homes rather than one building divided into two parts. Privacy, Light and Acoustic Separation Privacy is one of the most important considerations in duplex design. Windows, balconies, living areas and outdoor spaces should be arranged to minimise direct overlooking between the dwellings and adjoining properties. Entries and circulation routes should also be designed so each residence has a clear sense of identity and separation. Natural light can be more difficult to achieve when two homes share a common wall or occupy a relatively narrow site. Orientation, courtyards, setbacks, upper-level planning, skylights and carefully positioned glazing can help bring light into the centre of each dwelling. Acoustic performance must also be considered through planning, wall and floor construction, services coordination and the separation of bedrooms from active living areas. The final construction system is developed with the relevant consultants and in accordance with the applicable project requirements. Planning, Approvals and Consultant Coordination The appropriate approval pathway depends on the property, applicable planning controls and proposed development. A duplex or dual occupancy project may require architectural drawings, survey information, engineering, stormwater design, landscape documentation, energy assessment and other specialist reports. Depending on the site, the consultant team may include: land surveyor; structural engineer; hydraulic or civil engineer; geotechnical engineer; town planner; landscape architect; arborist; traffic consultant; energy assessor; and private certifier. Where Archbuild is responsible for design and build delivery, consultant information can be coordinated with the architectural design and construction requirements as the project develops. Approval cannot be guaranteed because the final decision rests with the relevant authority or certifier. However, early analysis and coordinated documentation can reduce avoidable design changes and approval risks. Construction Cost and Buildability Duplex construction costs are influenced by more than the combined floor area of the two dwellings. Important factors can include: site access and slope; excavation and retaining walls; foundation and ground conditions; basement or lower-ground construction; structural spans and shared walls; fire and acoustic separation; number of kitchens, bathrooms and services; glazing and façade complexity; garages and vehicle access; material selections and interior finishes; stormwater and service connections; and landscaping and external works. Because a duplex contains two complete residences, it usually involves duplicated kitchens, bathrooms, electrical systems, plumbing fixtures and other building components. Archbuild considers cost and buildability while the design is developing. This helps the project team assess how changes to building form, structure, floor area, materials and level of finish may affect the overall investment. Our Duplex Design and Build Process 1. Initial Project Discussion We discuss the property, objectives, intended use of the dwellings, desired accommodation and available project information. 2. Feasibility and Site Review The site, planning context, access, physical constraints and preliminary development potential are reviewed. 3. Concept Design Initial plans and architectural ideas are developed around the site, client brief, privacy, orientation, streetscape and likely approval requirements. 4. Design Development and Approvals The preferred design is refined and coordinated with the required consultants and approval documentation. 5. Construction Documentation and Pricing Architectural details, engineering, specifications, selections and construction requirements are developed to support pricing and building delivery. 6. Construction Archbuild coordinates trades, consultants, materials, sequencing, quality and communication throughout the building stage. 7. Completion and Handover The completed dwellings are reviewed, outstanding contractual items are addressed and the relevant handover information is provided. Explore Our Design and Build Process Duplexes for Families and Property Owners A duplex can support several different ownership and living arrangements. It may allow two related families to live close to one another while maintaining separate homes. It may provide an opportunity for an owner to occupy one dwelling and sell or rent the other. Some owners may retain both residences as part of a longer-term property strategy. The architectural response should be shaped around the intended use from the beginning. A duplex intended for two generations of one family may prioritise internal connection, accessibility and complementary floor plans. A project intended for separate sale may place greater emphasis on independent identity, broadly appealing layouts and clearly separated services and outdoor areas. Archbuild does not provide financial or investment advice or guarantee a development outcome. Our role is to help clients understand the design, approval and construction pathway and to develop a carefully considered residential project. Designed and Built by Archbuild Archbuild brings architectural design, construction knowledge and project delivery together within one coordinated practice. This integrated approach allows planning, buildability, structure, services, material selection and construction cost to be considered while the duplex design is developing. It also provides greater continuity between the original architectural concept and the completed building. Details established during design can be followed through documentation, procurement, construction and final delivery. Archbuild can also provide construction services for duplex projects designed and approved by external architects or building designers, subject to review of the documentation, approvals, scope and project requirements. Current Duplex Project — Heritage-Sensitive Design on a Complex Site Archbuild is currently designing a custom duplex for a highly constrained site within a heritage context in Sydney. The architectural response uses traditional proportions, roof forms and detailing to respect the established streetscape, while providing contemporary family layouts, natural light, privacy and functional outdoor living for both residences. The project presents several significant planning, infrastructure and engineering challenges. A 132 kV overhead electricity transmission line crosses the site, requiring careful consideration of the transmission corridor, building placement, clearances, safety requirements and consultation with the relevant authorities. The property is also located on the lower side of the road, making stormwater disposal particularly complex. The proposed drainage solution relies on a downstream stormwater easement extending through multiple neighbouring properties, requiring coordination of engineering, legal access, authority requirements and the interests of affected property owners. These constraints have substantially influenced the building footprint, levels, access, landscape areas, services and overall design strategy. Archbuild has been engaged for both architectural design and construction, allowing planning, engineering, buildability, construction cost and approval requirements to be considered as one coordinated process. The project is currently progressing through the Development Application process and remains subject to planning approval and other required authority consents. Key Project Challenges Heritage-sensitive design A traditional architectural response developed to complement the established streetscape and heritage context. Overhead transmission infrastructure A 132 kV overhead electricity transmission line crossing the site, requiring specialist investigation, authority coordination and careful building placement. Complex stormwater disposal A property positioned below road level, with downstream drainage dependent on an easement crossing several adjoining properties. Integrated approvals and engineering Coordination between architectural design, planning, electrical-infrastructure requirements, civil and stormwater engineering, surveying, legal easements and construction planning. Project Details Project type: Custom duplex Architectural character: Heritage-sensitive traditional design Service: Architectural design and construction Status: Development Application pending Construction appointment: Archbuild engaged under a signed building contract, subject to approvals and pre-construction requirements Location: Sydney Hills, NSW A Design Process Shaped by Constraints This project demonstrates that successful duplex design involves much more than producing two attractive floor plans. The design has developed through detailed investigation of heritage character, transmission-line constraints, site levels, stormwater disposal, easements, neighbouring properties, access, privacy, landscaping and construction feasibility. Archbuild’s combined architectural and building expertise has allowed these matters to be considered together throughout the design process, reducing the separation that can otherwise occur between planning, engineering, documentation and future construction delivery. Frequently asked questions Duplexes and Townhouses Do both duplex dwellings need to have the same floor plan? No. The dwellings may be mirrored, similar or individually designed.Different layouts may be appropriate where one dwelling is intended for the owner and the other for extended family, rental or sale. The arrangement must still respond to the site, planning requirements, structure and overall architectural composition. Can a duplex be designed for two related families? Yes. A duplex can be designed for parents and adult children, siblings or other related households seeking proximity while retaining separate living arrangements.The design can consider accessibility, privacy, shared outdoor areas, complementary room arrangements and the potential for connection between the homes where permitted and appropriate. Can the two dwellings have different sizes and finishes? Potentially. The size, accommodation and level of finish can differ where the site, planning controls, structure and client objectives allow.These differences should be identified early because they can affect the building form, documentation, service arrangements and construction pricing. Can a duplex be built on a sloping site? Potentially, but slope can significantly affect excavation, retaining structures, driveway gradients, drainage, floor levels, access and construction cost.A sloping site may also create opportunities for split-level planning, views, separate entries or basement parking. The appropriate response depends on the property and engineering requirements. Can each duplex dwelling have its own street appearance? Yes. Each home can have an individual entry and identity while remaining part of one coordinated architectural composition.The degree of visual difference depends on the intended character, planning context, site width and overall design approach. Can the duplex dwellings be separately sold? This depends on the approval, subdivision arrangements, title structure and other legal and authority requirements applicable to the project.Clients should obtain appropriate planning, surveying, legal, taxation and financial advice before relying on a particular ownership or sale strategy.

Our design and build service is suited to luxury custom homes, architect-designed residences, major renovations, duplexes, townhouses and selected boutique residential projects across Sydney Hills, North Shore and surrounding premium suburbs. Discuss Your Project A Complete Design and Build Pathway Building a custom home or major residential project involves many connected decisions. Design quality, planning controls, structural requirements, site conditions, materials, budget and construction methodology all affect the final outcome. Archbuild’s design and build approach allows these issues to be considered together from the early stages of the project. Instead of separating the design team from the builder, we provide one coordinated pathway from concept to completion. This integrated process can help reduce communication gaps, improve buildability, manage cost expectations earlier and give the project a clearer direction before construction begins. Why Choose a Design and Build Service? A design and build service is useful when you want one team responsible for both the design vision and the construction delivery. At Archbuild, architectural design and building expertise work together from the beginning. This means the home is designed with a clear understanding of how it will be approved, documented, built and delivered on site. This approach is especially valuable for high-quality residential projects where the site, planning controls, structure, finishes and construction details need to be carefully coordinated. Key benefits One coordinated team from design to construction Better alignment between design intent and buildability Earlier consideration of construction cost and complexity Fewer communication gaps between consultants and trades A clearer process for clients Stronger coordination between approvals, documentation and building work Our Design and Build Process 1. Initial Consultation We begin by understanding your site, goals, lifestyle, budget expectations and preferred project pathway. This early discussion helps identify whether your project is best suited to a new custom home, major renovation, extension, duplex, townhouse or boutique residential development. 2. Site Review and Feasibility Before design work progresses too far, we consider the site conditions, planning controls, access, slope, trees, privacy, orientation and likely construction challenges. This helps the design respond to both the client brief and the practical realities of the land. 3. Concept Design Archbuild develops the early design direction, including the overall layout, form, spatial planning, architectural character and relationship between indoor and outdoor areas. At this stage, we also consider buildability, structure, material selection and the likely construction pathway. 4. Design Development and Documentation Once the design direction is agreed, the project moves into more detailed design and documentation. This may include consultant coordination, planning documentation, construction drawings, specifications, engineering input and coordination with relevant approval pathways. 5. Approvals and Pre-Construction Planning Archbuild can assist with coordinating the approval and pre-construction stages, helping the project move from design into a buildable and deliverable form. This stage may include council approval, CDC pathways where applicable, consultant coordination, pricing review, construction planning and program considerations. 6. Construction and Project Delivery During construction, Archbuild manages the building work with a focus on quality, coordination, communication and attention to detail. Our team considers sequencing, trade coordination, materials, workmanship, site conditions and the architectural intent of the project. 7. Completion and Handover At completion, the focus is on final quality, finishing details, handover and ensuring the home is ready for occupation and long-term use. Projects Suited to Design and Build Archbuild’s design and build service is best suited to clients seeking a considered residential project rather than a standard volume-build outcome. Luxury Custom Homes New homes designed specifically around the client, site, lifestyle and architectural direction. Major Renovations and Extensions Transformations of existing homes where design, structure, construction staging and liveability need to be carefully considered. Duplexes and Townhouses Boutique residential projects where planning controls, site efficiency, construction cost and market expectations need to be balanced. Boutique Residential Developments Selected residential projects requiring architectural input, feasibility thinking and coordinated construction delivery. Design and Build Across Sydney Hills and North Shore Archbuild works across Sydney, with a strong focus on Sydney Hills, West Pennant Hills, Castle Hill, Beecroft, Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook, Dural, Wahroonga, North Shore and selected premium suburbs across Greater Sydney. Many residential projects in these areas involve established neighbourhoods, sloping sites, protected trees, privacy considerations, planning constraints and high expectations for design quality. Our integrated design and build approach allows these issues to be considered early, helping clients move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Design Quality and Construction Knowledge Together A successful design and build project requires more than producing drawings and then pricing the work. It requires continuous coordination between the architectural idea and the practical building process. Materials, structure, junctions, detailing, construction sequencing and site constraints all need to be understood before the project reaches site. Archbuild brings these considerations together so the final home can be carefully designed, buildable and delivered with construction knowledge behind each major decision. Frequently Asked Questions What is design and build? Design and build is a project delivery approach where one team manages both the design and construction stages. For residential projects, this can help improve coordination between architectural design, approvals, documentation, pricing, construction planning and building work. Is design and build suitable for luxury custom homes? Yes. Design and build can be particularly useful for luxury custom homes because design quality, construction detailing, budget expectations and site conditions need to be considered together from the early stages. Can Archbuild help if I only have an idea and no drawings? Yes. Archbuild can assist from the early idea stage, including site review, feasibility advice, concept design, approvals, documentation and construction. This allows buildability, planning controls, construction cost and project delivery to be considered before the design progresses too far. Can Archbuild design and build renovations or extensions? Yes. Archbuild provides design and build services for major renovations and extensions where architectural design, structural coordination, construction staging and careful delivery are important. How is design and build different from hiring an architect and builder separately? In a traditional process, the architect and builder are often engaged separately. With Archbuild’s design and build approach, design and construction knowledge are brought together earlier. This can help improve buildability, reduce communication gaps and give the project a clearer pathway from concept to completion. Where does Archbuild provide design and build services? Archbuild provides design and build services across Sydney, with a strong focus on Sydney Hills, North Shore and selected premium residential suburbs across Greater Sydney.
