a new custom rendered blockwork front fence in Kew – Argyle Road.
summary of services
Our services for this rendered blockwork front fence in Argyle Road, Kew included managing all aspects of the design, permit and construction stages.
design stages
– concept stage –
The concept design for this rendered blockwork fence borrowed details from the house façade, including the rough-cast render, render colour, and feature metalwork design.
Key design considerations for this project included:
- Minimising damage to existing landscaping
- Design to accommodate a sloped block
- Design to accommodate a sloped driveway
- Design to accommodate a sewer easement and build-over restrictions
- Design to be sympathetic to the existing home
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 1.5m and the property was encumbered by an easement, build-over easement approval was required from the sewer authority.
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.

- Demolition
