Don't Derail Your Project by Selecting The Wrong Architect...
Your choice of your design team is an important decision as it can make or break your development application. Note: A draftsman is not the same as an architect. We’ve seen many good-hearted people derail their project by choosing the wrong designer.
The selection of the wrong designer can:
- Create significant project delays
- Result in multiple design revisions (up to 20) requested by our town planner because the designer has not understood the complexities of council requirements
- Increase the probability of a council rejection or refusal because of poor plan
- Approved plans causing construction issues once a builder starts on site
- Plans not adding monetary or aesthetic value to the property
There are many ‘blind spots’ and complexities that could derail your approval and extend the time and cost to achieve your goal. Selecting a design team that is not a perfect fit for you and your project could mean the difference between an approval or refusal from the council.

Meet Our Architect...
Council Approval Group has an in-house, highly professional architecture and drafting team led by award-winning Architect Giuseppe Calabrese (NSW Reg #8079).
Having your designers and town planners working side-by-side, within the same firm, means that the designs we create for you are of the highest quality but more importantly, are plans that are council approvable from the start! Having an in-house design and town planning team means that you benefit from a special synergy with less friction, fewer delays and a maximised project yield.
Giuseppe is an Italian born Australian Architect. As well as being an internationally acclaimed and award-winning designer, Giuseppe’s portfolio conveys in depth knowledge and a high industry standard. In all of his work Giuseppe aims to provide sustainable and lasting built environments with the legacy of quality design. His work bridges the gap between picturesque and practical and works with clients to create the best design outcome for their needs. Giuseppe is also an experienced violinist and teaches students to have a passion for music in his spare time.
Note for Victorian Based Clients: Our head architect, Giuseppe is a registered architect in NSW and Italy. Although Giuseppe would qualify for registration in Victoria, due to a peculiar and unique licensing fine print that Victorian architects also be a director of the company they work for, we refer to ourselves as ‘designers’ in victoria rather than ‘architects’ to ensure full compliance. We bring the same award-winning skill-set and experience no matter where your project is.
