Last year I met some great clients (Graham & Monique who were building in Watermans) who had a ‘solar design’ completed for them which cost $25,000 and would cost a further $25,000 for the Architect to manage the job on site. The budget was $500,000 however the lowest quote received by any builders was $980,000 with some quotes over $1.2M. What was more embarrassing was that the ‘solar design’ didn’t even rate to 5 stars which was the minimum requirement…
