Build with confidence - Work with professionals
Make your new project enjoyable and successful - remove all stress by engaging the right professionals from day one!
Concept & Design
We work with you to take for initial hand drawings and thoughts to a reality. We start with 2D scaled drawings within AutoCAD moving through to 3D visual modelling and walkthroughs. Allowing you to visualise first hand what you finished project will look like and how it will fit into your existing farming landscape.
This initial design will allow to cost the project.
Budgets & Cashflows
Having a good understanding of what it will cost to build from the start is vital. We will work with you to determine whether the project is feasible or needs to be staged to fit in with your budget. Do you need assistance with financial cashflows and milk production projections? This will also allow you to sit down with your bank, accountant and milk factory to seek support prior to going down the route of planning applications.

Design & Planning
Whether you are considering a new intensive housing development or looking to expand on your existing dairy the first thing we look at prior to any site visit with a client is identifying any overlays and separation distances from neighbours/towns. This can save time and money straight away as it will identify what challenges (if any) the development will have to overcome or whether a variation to the site location needs to be considered. Additionally, this will identify what regulatory obligations will need to be meet.
​
Overlays & Site Selection
This may include identifying :
Land subject to flooding and inundation
Areas of natural, cultural or indigenous heritage and native vegetation
Proximity to surface water and ground water bores
Locations of existing infrastructure
Separation distance from neighbors and towns
Other things to consider
Proposed development - Greenfield or re-purpose of existing site
Development type - Compost Barn, Freestall Barn, Feedpad, Dairy extension
Herd size - number of cows milking, dry cows and young stock
Size of property - Hectares for effluent reuse area
Site access, roads, power requirements
Location - State, Water catchment authority, council
Existing infrastructure - dairy, effluent ponds, fresh water storage
Water ways, creeks, irrigation channels
Planning Requirements
What regulatory requirements might apply:
Whether the development is an allowable use under the land use controls for the site and any other relevant controls
