Why Builders and Designers Working Together Early Makes All the Difference.
Ever had a project stall because something didn’t quite fit on site? Maybe the fridge doors couldn’t open properly, or the joinery clashed with a bulkhead. It happens more often than it should — and when it does, it costs time, money, and a lot of unnecessary stress.
At Studio Alta, we believe the best results come when designers and builders collaborate from day one — long before the first hammer swings.
Some of the most important decisions aren’t about how a space looks — but about how it works.
Why Early Collaboration Matters
When we’re part of the team from the start, we can work alongside your trades to create a design that’s clear, buildable, and genuinely practical.
That means thinking through:
→ Traffic flow and clearances — to avoid layout headaches down the line.
→ Power points, switches, and lighting paths — placed where they make real-life sense.
→ Joinery depths, appliance ventilation, access panels — the details that keep everything running smoothly onsite.
When these things are solved early, the project flows better — and your team can focus on doing what they do best.
How It Helps You (and Your Team)
+ Fewer costly variations mid-build
+ Clear, accurate drawings that make quoting and building easier
+ Happier clients (and fewer last-minute site meetings!)
