a new custom brick front fence in Camberwell – Lansell Crescent.
summary of services
Our services for this brick front fence in Lansell Crescent, Camberwell included managing all aspects of the design, permit and construction stages.
design stages
– concept stage –
The concept design for this brick fence borrowed details from the house façade, including the brick selection, and replicating the lattice pattern from the windows in the metalwork design.
Key design considerations for this project included:
- Design to be sympathetic to the existing home
- Design to accommodate a sloped block
- Design to accommodate heritage requirements
- Excessive ground water during construction
Our ‘order of cost’ included an estimate of costs, the project scope, general specification, health and safety requirements, assumptions and further investigative work required during the ‘develop’ stage.
– develop stage –
We provided recommendations for cost-effective consultants including a draftsman, structural engineer, geotechnical engineer and a building surveyor.
We managed the design team and performed site inspections to confirm the location and depth of in-ground services including power, water, gas, Telstra, NBN, sewer and stormwater.
permit stages
As the maximum height of this brick fence was 1.2m and the property was encumbered by a covenants and heritage overlay, only a planning permit was required prior to commencing construction.
We managed the building permit application process on behalf of our clients and provided them with copies of all stamped documentation, permits, insurances and certificates.
construction stages
The project scope for this brick fencing project included:
- Demolition of an existing timber fence and landscaping
- Concrete footings
- Brickwork
- Brick cleaning
- New concrete footpaths
- New brick steps
The clients engaged us nine years later to install a set of custom automatic swinging driveway gates.
