At Donovan Payne Architects, we place as much value on relationships as we do on design. Our goal is to create lasting partnerships and deliver rewarding project experiences for clients, stakeholders, and communities alike.
Every project is approached with rigour and care, from concept through to completion. By working closely with all stakeholders, we ensure each outcome is not only functional and enduring but also contributes to a built environment of lasting quality and impact.
DESIGN AND MASTER PLANNING
Donovan Payne provides complete architectural consultancy services from project inception to completion.
We work closely with our clients to investigate the needs and wants, and to establish a developed design brief which, reflects and supports their project requirements.
We create masterplans and concepts to test design solutions. As well as, to explore options and possibilities; and produce design and documentation for community consultation, client consideration, design development and construction.
OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Discovery & Project Brief
We begin by working closely with you to understand your objectives, constraints, and aspirations. Together, we develop a clear and detailed return brief that reflects and supports your project requirements.
Masterplanning & Concept Design
Our team prepares masterplans and concept designs to test solutions and explore a range of options. This stage allows stakeholders to assess possibilities and determine the most effective direction for the project.
Design Development
Once the preferred concept is agreed upon, we refine the design in detail. This includes functionality, compliance, sustainability, and alignment with budget and program requirements.
Consultation & Stakeholder Engagement
Where appropriate, we prepare materials to support engagement with clients, communities, user groups, and key stakeholders. This ensures feedback is incorporated and the project reflects shared priorities.
Documentation & Approvals
We produce detailed documentation for client consideration, authority approvals, and tendering. This provides clarity for consultants, contractors, and decision-makers.
Construction Support and Delivery
During construction, we remain actively involved to ensure design intent is achieved. We work closely with contractors, consultants, and clients to deliver a built outcome of enduring quality.
