FAQ

No. We are similar but not the same. As building designers, our team have completed a relevant TAFE or tertiary qualification in building design and our business is licenced under the Queensland Building & Construction Commission (QBCC), the same as builders and building contractors.  In Queensland, a building designer and architect can undertake the same type of work be it residential, commercial or unit development, in fact any type of building project (excluding hi-rise developments). 

The following video by the Building Designers Association of Queensland really hits the nail on the head! Take a look.

After your initial consultation, we provide a comprehensive, no obligation quote for your project.  You will always know how much your design fee is prior to the commencement of your plans.  The cost of your project will depend on what you want to achieve , and as such, prices will vary based on your unique requirements i.e. residential new build, residential renovation or commercial project, characteristics of your site etc. To arrange a design consultation and have your preconstruction documentation quoted, call the team in either our Brisbane or Gold Coast office to discuss your project today.

Our timeframe for delivery of concept or preliminary plans varies from project to project, but in general you can expect to receive your plans in around 20 working days. But, please don’t forget that the building design process is carried out in stages and the first set of plans are not build-ready. Most projects are completed in a minimum of two stages, with the second stage adding up to another 20 business days. Your building designer will be able to confirm their timeframes upon acceptance of your quote based on their workload at the time.

Cyber Services Group can not only complete your plans but also bring together all the required pre-construction documentation, so your plans can be approved and construction can commence.  Additional fees will apply for items such as soil testing, engineering, energy reports, certifier’s fees etc however these fees are always provided to you for approval to proceed prior to commencing any works to alleviate price shocks along the way.  Depending on your project, timeframes can vary for the approval process.  In general, the completion of all required documentation and the finalising of the building approval takes up to 4 weeks.  If town planning and/or additional council applications are required this timeframe will be greater.

No.  Once your plans have been approved by the certifier you have until the date noted on your decision notice to complete your construction.  This is generally anywhere from 12 to 24 months.
