Early-Stage Architectural Planning for
Confident Development

At NM Design, we specialise in master planning and feasibility studies to guide your project from the very beginning. Understanding your site’s opportunities and constraints early helps set realistic goals and ensures your development is both achievable and aligned with your vision.

We work with planning consultants, valuers, and agents to provide clear guidance on your property’s potential.

Master Planning is the strategic process of organising and designing the overall layout of a property or development site. This includes assessing land use, circulation, access points, sustainability elements and landscaping, infrastructure, and building placement. For residential, heritage, or mixed-use projects, a comprehensive master plan provides a clear roadmap that supports sustainable growth and long-term functionality.
