Jane maximises the potential of a site through 3D design, by modelling Town Planning massing & setbacks, then negotiating with Planners for the best design outcome.

3-D computer models & computer generated perspectives are also a design tool for the office to work up ideas / design options & a way of imparting ideas to clients.
