Rammed-earth house in the Macedon Ranges by Red Earth Developments
Red Earth/Architects
For architects & designers

The detail you drew, built as drawn.

We consult, tender and deliver architecturally designed work, on time and on budget.

How we work with practices

A builder in the room before the drawings lock.

Bring us in at design development for buildability advice. You can get real costs against architectural details, early enough to inform your design and assist cost planning.

On site, our work reflects on you as much as on us. A quality and considered building site will create a positive client experience, and is a significant part of what clients remember about the project. We will make sure you look good!

01Early buildability & cost advice

Feasibility, staging and constructability input during design development, before the budget conversation gets hard.

02Tenders that read against the drawings

Priced to your documentation, with exclusions and assumptions written plainly.

03Contract to suit the job

Fixed-price or cost-plus, whichever protects the client and the design.

04No silent substitutions

Specified products stay specified. Alternatives come to you as a question, with samples.
