Coffee with an architect

30 minutes · $60 (incl. GST) · at a local café in Mt Hawthorn, Joondanna or Leederville

Planning a renovation, extension or new home, but not sure where to start? Talk it through over coffee with Tuan Ngo, registered architect and Director of ORA. You’ll get honest advice on what’s possible, your likely next steps and approvals, and a short follow-up email with the key points. No obligation, no hard sell.

Bring along, or email ahead: your house plan or an aerial view of your block (or both), a few photos or ideas you like, and your rough budget and timing.

Pay by card on the day. If you go ahead with ORA for design work within 60 days, we’ll credit your $60 against our fee.

“We found Rosalie very easy to work with and very contactable throughout.”

    Coffee with an architect – terms and conditions

    Office of Regional Architecture Pty Ltd (ORA), ABN 52 624 524 590

    1. The service. A 30-minute informal conversation with Tuan Ngo, registered architect and Director of ORA, at a café in Mt Hawthorn, Joondanna or Leederville, at the time and place confirmed when you book. Sessions finish at the booked end time, including if you arrive late.
    2. Fee and payment. The fee is $60 including GST, paid by card on the spot at the start of the session using our Tyro card terminal. We’ll email you a tax invoice.
    3. Before we meet. Please bring, or send ahead, your house plan or an aerial view of your block, a few photos or ideas you like, and your rough budget and timing. Sending them 2 business days ahead lets us do some quick homework.
    4. Changes and cancellations. You can reschedule or cancel free of charge with at least 24 hours’ notice. If ORA needs to cancel, we’ll offer you a new time.
    5. What the advice is. The advice is general and preliminary. It’s based only on what you tell and show us, without a site visit. It is not a design, drawings, a planning or building compliance check, or a cost estimate. Please don’t rely on it alone for a purchase, a council application or building work. For that, we can prepare a written fee proposal for the right level of service.
    6. What you get. The conversation, plus a short follow-up email with the key points and suggested next steps.
    7. Credit toward design work. If you engage ORA for design work within 60 days of your session, we’ll credit your $60 against our fee. Any further work is under a separate written fee proposal and client agreement.
    8. Sketches and copyright. Any sketches made during the session are for your personal reference. Copyright stays with ORA.
    9. Your information. We keep what you share with us confidential and use it only to provide this service and follow up with you.
    10. Liability. To the extent the law allows, ORA’s total liability for this service is limited to the fee you paid. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
    11. Law. These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia.
