For most of us a building will be the single
biggest financial investment of our lives.
It may be your family home or a vehicle for
investment – either way, good design will
add value.
By investing in the services of a registered
architect you are ensuring that your
building will enjoy qualities that will add
value to your lifestyle and to your
property.
What is an architect?
An architect is a highly trained building
professional. Typically a registered
architect has obtained a Bachelor of
Architecture (5 years full time) followed by
a 2 year period of professional experience
culminating in a series of examinations and
interviews with the New South Wales Board of
Architects.
An architect is trained in:
Design
Construction Technology
Urban Design
Environmentally Sustainable Design
Architectural History
Lighting and Acoustics
Building Contract Administration
Project Management
Professional Practice
Building Services Technologies
Digital Technologies
Building Code of Australia
By engaging an architect
you can expect a level of professionalism
and added comfort that you are dealing with
a person who has the skills and
qualifications to assist you with your
investment.
Did you know?
That the title `Architect` is protected under an act
of parliament; namely the NSW Architects Act 2003.
It is illegal for a person or company to make
representations as an architect, or that they
provide architectural services unless they are
registered as an architect under the Act.
You would be wise to do a quick search to ensure
that your `architect` is indeed a registered
architect.

"From the design brief through to final
plan and execution we found the team at King
and Campbell to be very approachable,
competent, skillful and creative, especially
as we had to communicate from Melbourne
quite a lot of the time. As a result we have
a beautiful, well-proportioned and
comfortable home, no need for
air-conditioning or much heating. Low energy
consumption was one of our briefs. Each
individual room as well as the overall
aspect is very attractive. Craig and Kim are
still available to us, very generously, for
friendly advice. Thank you King and
Campbell."
