As an architect, I deal with all sorts of different clients and families with, as you can imagine, a huge variance in what they want, need and are willing to spend. So why, over and over, was I hearing of so many similar problems, barriers and miscommunications between clients, architects and builders?
Essentially, it seemed that what most people wanted was access to beautifully designed architectural home plans but they didn’t want to subscribe to the associated time and costs involved. They also didn’t enjoy being locked in to one particular company from the outset but rather wanted the freedom and flexibility to have their home built by whomever they chose to trust.
I knew there had to be a different solution. It didn’t exist, and so we created Terren.
The idea is simple – architecturally designed home plans, adjusted to the client’s land and specifications, with a pre-quoted, verified build price and the freedom to have that home built by anyone.
Fast, frictionless, flexible and ultimately beautiful.
Once we launch the first Terren Collection of limited edition architectural plans later this year, clients will be able to choose the design that best suits their family’s lifestyle, land and specifications. As they make these selections their indicative build price will be automatically updated for price surety.
Their site information will then be assessed by our team. If suitable clients will then purchase a Terren package for far less than the usual cost of custom architectural home designs.
The package they receive will include a full set of construction ready plans tailored to their land – complete working drawings and specifications, internal elevations, engineering, thermal assessment and a fully quoted indicative build price.
They can then work with a construction professional of their choice to bring these home plans to fruition.
That’s it. A complex and sometimes painful process made simple, streamlined and flexible.
