Our Consultation Services
Building a house? Renovating? Planning a garden? Let’s get the foundations right!
Building or renovating?
Before you start- do you know where north is? How much shade you will get? What rooms will be BELTED by the western sun? What about your eave depth? Or what building materials to use. Low VOC paint on your radar?
There are SO many decisions when building or renovating a house. Let us help you with getting the foundations right so you can live in a comfortable space that deeply considered the context of your block and surrounding environment.
Site Sector Analysis
Permaculture is all about designing with nature, not trying to control it. Site and sector analysis helps you observe the natural forces at play — like sun, wind, water, and wildlife — so you can design systems that harness those elements rather than fight them.
Site and sector analysis helps you make smarter, more resilient design decisions that lead to better flow in your home, less work and “effort” in your daily tasks, and a more harmonious relationship with your land.
Planning a garden?
These days food is expensive so why not plan some of your own herbs, lettuce or attempt to be as self sufficent as possible? Or maybe you want to increase biodiversity? Have a aesthetic native garden?
Imagine spending all the money, only to realise - it is in full shade in winter. Or the shed scorches those pants in summer. By doing a full site sector analysis on your block with the existing structures, external factors and environmental considerations; you can make informed decisions going forward.
Who are we NOT for….
If you want a full garden plan done.
We want to give YOU the building blocks for designing your own garden. Only you truely know your routines, habits, needs etc. However, we can do a site sector analysis so you can know what WONT work, where to maybe NOT place a garden bed or understand the considerations that go into your property design. We want to empower you so that you aren’t left with an AMAZING pretty design on a peice of paper, but lack the understand as to WHY those choices have been made.
If you need council plans
I am NOT an architect or a draftsperson. However I HAVE designed three homes along aside these professionals and renovated countless times.
I do have sound knowledge of how to plan a home that flows, a home based on your needs as a gardener or permie, a space that works WITH the environment and is informed by a detailed site sector plan. I can help you come up with ideas, map out your needs and be apart of the team that assist you with plans.
You need labour
Sorry not our jam, we have enough to do in our own patch! But we can hook you up with some epic landscapers and tradies if you like?
