R.Koncept Architectural Design & Drafting

Since acquiring his tertiary qualifications, Ricky has worked for some of Sydney’s largest and most successful volume home builders.

Ricky started his career with Rawson Homes as a design draftsman under Rawson by Design division, focusing on custom-designed homes within the Sydney Metropolitan areas.

He later aligned himself with Ichijo Homes, a Japanese multi-national builder which was well ahead of the Australian market at the time and focused heavily on sustainability and energy-efficient living.

Ricky took his career further with Clarendon Homes as a senior draftsman and then later as a designer, where he contributed to many award-winning designs.

He finished his corporate career as a group drafting manager for Zac Homes and Australian House & Land before establishing R.Koncept Building Design & Drafting.

Ricky also worked on many residential projects with architects, where he utilised his compliance knowledge and construction understanding to help turn numerous conceptual ideas into reality.

Throughout the years within the design and building industry, Ricky developed a strong understanding of both contemporary and luxury residential designs, documentation techniques, engineering knowledge as well as various construction methodologies.

Our goal is to offer the skill set and knowledge we gained in the industry and help our clients create their dream home and living lifestyle through quality building design, and support smaller builders and developers in building a successful portfolio.

R.Koncept is different from other businesses in 9 different ways. That is why we believe we are the right fit for your next project. Contact us and see how we can help!

Over 10 Years of Experience
We know what the authorities want to get your project approved, and we know what builders need to accurately quote and build your home. That’s why our projects get approval faster and finish earlier.

Client Focused
We treat every project like our own. We communicate we are flexible, we will listen, we take time to understand, and we really do care; because we are dealing with people’s emotions, life savings, and future.

Hassle-Free
We can prepare all the necessary documents required for submission and engage consultants and authorities directly on your behalf so you don't need to do all the leg work.

Tailored For You
Every project we do is unique. Let us help you design your home and plan a strategy to that suits your needs, your budget, and your land. Our services and fees can also be tailored to suit your budget too!

Dedicated Attention
We are not volume orientated so you will always have the same point of contact who knows your project and history. Rest assured, each project that we undertake will have our utmost care and dedicated attention.

Flexible Approach
Why be locked in throughout the entire process? With building approval, you can be in control and shop around for the right builder to do the job, or we can recommend our network of reputable builders to you.

Time & Money Saving
Not all architectural plans are drawn equally. Our plans are much more detailed and that’s why our builders build better and quicker instead of guessing and rectifying mistakes, delaying projects, and ultimately costing clients time and money.

Value & Knowledge
We are a boutique studio with extensive knowledge within the industry, so when you engage us, rest assured you are paying for our experience from start to finish, not overheads or marketing from larger businesses.

Quality Assurance
We are Building Designers Association of Australia accredited designer and member of the Housing Industry Association. Our business is ASIC registered and insured with CGU. We don't cut corners because we take pride in what we do, and we do it right and do it fast.

At R.Koncept, we believe you should be across every detail, so we summarised the process of obtaining development approval into three major milestones for you.

01 - Concept: tell us about your ideas, and what you want to achieve & we’ll take care of the rest

• Initial meeting with you to discuss design brief, including your unique requirements, living lifestyle, wish lists, inclusions, as well as a project budget.
• Preliminary site assessment to review existing site constraints, methods of maximising site features, and potential limitations with planning and construction.
• Setting scope of works to suit your needs and draft services agreement for formal engagement and obtain an initial deposit.

02 - Design: all great things start from small ideas!

• Compile all the necessary information and reports about your land so we can start joining all the dots together and ensure your design brief, feasibility, and planning controls are always considered during the design process.
• Second meeting with you to present a creative design, and discuss your ideas and feedback, facade style, choice of materials, including our further contribution to your project.
• Refine the design by incorporating the changes discussed and finalise the concept design for your approval and sign off.

03 - Approval: let’s get that dream across the line!

• Develop your approved concept design and incorporate all necessary information into the architectural drawings as required by your council.
• Engage external professionals for expert reports and prepare various supporting documents required by the council and compile a submission pack for lodgement.
• Obtain final payment from the client, including any statutory fees required, and lodge Development Application.
