Who it suits

Summit Blueprint is for homeowners who want to establish the right foundations before committing to construction.

You get clarity on your priorities, project team, budget framework and the decisions ahead, without navigating the planning process alone.

The pre-construction scope

Blueprint covers the two stages before building starts. It follows the Project Diagnostic that begins every Summit engagement.

  1. Planning

    A clear brief, a realistic budget framework and the right professional team in place.

    Summit helps you identify, evaluate and appoint the architects, designers, builders and specialist consultants suited to your project. You appoint each professional directly, and Summit brings your perspective to the selection process.

    You receive your planning documents, updated at each milestone.

  2. Pre-construction

    Approach construction with key design decisions resolved, approvals tracked and a clear view of what's ahead.

What you walk away with

  • A clear brief
  • A realistic budget framework
  • The right professional team in place
  • Key design decisions resolved
  • Approvals tracked
  • A clear view of what's ahead

Already planning with Summit Blueprint? You can extend into construction representation later, subject to availability.

What's not included

Summit does not design, certify, run tenders or administer building contracts, and is not appointed as superintendent or contract administrator.

Those roles stay with the appropriately appointed professionals. You appoint and contract with each party directly, and material decisions remain yours unless authority is delegated in writing.

You also pay your builder, consultants and suppliers directly. Summit's fees are agreed separately and paid by you alone.

One fixed fee

Blueprint is charged as one fixed fee for a defined planning scope.

Not an hourly rate, and not a percentage of construction cost. The fee is set out in a Proposal & Engagement Scope for your project, after the Project Diagnostic.
