The best ideas are in the making
Driven by the desire to make things, our philosophy is to push the boundary of what is possible and confidently explore the unconventional, inventive, innovative and artful.
Promises made are promises kept
At Hierarchy, we specialise in objective-led design. This means that we work closely with you to understand your commercial objectives and develop creative solutions that fit your budget. Our in-house quantity surveyor and construction management team collaborate with our designers to optimise cost and time efficiencies, while also leveraging our established relationships with consultants and contractors to ensure that we set realistic expectations. Our goal is to create a beautiful end result that aligns with your vision and financial goals, achieving the dream: the ‘pretty picture’ you can afford.
Solutions made from scratch
Our full suite of services and partnership with Inovo Project Management covers everything before and beyond the actual design; from idea to execution, feasibility to project delivery and land development to handover. This includes:
- Feasibility studies
- Brief development
- Liaison with territorial authorities
- Concept design
- Preliminary and developed design
- Building consent and construction documentation
- Contract administration, observation and quality controls
- Building information modelling
The right people to make the journey
With the guidance and expertise of our Design Director, Chris Wheeler, we have built a reputation for professionalism and a collaborative approach that makes working with us a seamless experience. We're proud to have developed long-standing relationships with many of our clients, who return to us time and again for their design needs.
