Phil Dawson / Architectural

Are you are wanting to build a new home or add-on to your existing one? Do you want a friendly, hassle-free design experience and have your plans drawn up for an affordable cost that meets your budget? Whether you require basic concept drawings to obtain costing estimates; the minimum required for Building Consent; or plans and specifications to a very detailed level to ensure accurate pricing and minimise cost over-runs, Phil Dawson/Architectural has the experience and the capability to meet your needs. The business was established in 2000 in Dunedin by Architectural Designer, Phil Dawson, who has a background in working with a variety of architectural companies in Otago and the United Kingdom since 1983. Phil Dawson/Architectural was set up to provide a contract Computer Aided Draughting (CAD) documentation service to professional architects and also provide a boutique architectural design and documentation practice for private clients, the majority of whom have come from referrals or repeat custom. Phil has experience in a wide spectrum of residential projects along with light commercial, and hospitality projects through to large industrial work. One of Phil’s key talents is maximising space, particularly in smaller or lower budget projects to obtain the best solution and value for the investment made. The practice prides itself on listening and seeking an understanding of a client’s tastes, lifestyle requirements and budget, to provide a high standard of innovative design and documentation to any stage as required by the client for a competitive cost. Our ideal is that any project should combine both client and designer input to create a successful and inspirational solution. Home design affects our lifestyle and well-being and we firmly believe good design is a critical factor to consider when building a new home or altering an existing one. In the same way that it’s important to rely on tradesmen to do a professional job, it is equally important to invest in strong and creative planning from the very beginning to ensure everything is completed to suit your lifestyle needs - without compromising aesthetics and function.
