Residential Development Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Residential development typically involves the creation of housing units. However, residential development can also refer to the building and planning of extensions and other construction work on pre-existing residential buildings such as flats, houses and bungalows.
Residential architects work under strict legal guidelines and restrictions to create detailed architectural drawings of a structure to ensure that the planned design will meet the required codes, laws and regulations upon completion. Residential designers usually assist in the project management and material selection part of the design process and use their skills to add aesthetic value.
Residential (or Domestic) Architects work with homeowners to provide a full architectural design and solution. Their services include design, project management and construction and development processes. Commercial architects, on the other hand, offer the same services to non-residential spaces and often work with large organisations on the developments of office spaces, shops and restaurants.
