Integral Design Solutions: Delivering Projects, Not Just Promises
At Integral Design Solutions, we don’t just talk about project delivery — we demonstrate it. Our integrated approach to design and project management consistently delivers better outcomes for our Melbourne clients.
Our Integrated Service Model
Unlike firms that separate design and project management, Integral Design Solutions provides both services under one roof.
This integration eliminates communication gaps that often lead to cost overruns and program delays in traditionally structured projects. When the design and project management teams operate as one, there is complete alignment between design intent and construction delivery.
Project Case Studies
1. Architectural Building — Melbourne Commercial
Challenge
A commercial client required a new two-storey office building within a complex heritage precinct. The project demanded:
- Sensitive heritage integration
- A tight 12-month program (from design to occupancy)
- A fixed budget of $2.8 million
Our Approach
- Conducted a pre-design heritage assessment before finalizing the design direction
- Delivered a concept that met heritage guidelines on first submission
- Avoided typical revision cycles (saving 2–4 months)
- Tendered construction during the planning phase to overlap timelines
Outcome
- Project completed 3 weeks ahead of schedule
- Delivered $85,000 under budget
2. Subdivision — Hawthorn East
Challenge
A client sought to subdivide a 900 sqm residential lot within a heritage precinct where previous applications had been refused. Another firm had deemed the site unsuitable.
Our Approach
- Performed a detailed analysis of heritage controls
- Developed a compliant subdivision strategy preserving the heritage frontage
- Submitted a precise, well-supported application
Outcome
- Approval granted at first assessment without objection
- Rear lot titled and later sold for $620,000
3. House Renovation — South Yarra Heritage
Challenge
A Victorian terrace required renovation and extension under a heritage overlay with:
- A fixed budget of $580,000
- A requirement to maintain rental income during construction
Our Approach
- Phased construction to allow partial tenancy
- Reduced rental disruption significantly
- Ran heritage permit, building permit, and documentation concurrently
Outcome
- Rental loss reduced to 4 months (from estimated 10 months)
- Pre-construction phase shortened by 3 months
- Delivered on budget with full heritage compliance
