# Move from a building idea to a defined next step.

Explore an ECOLIT building design or discuss your own plans. Start with your intended use, property location and current project stage.

Homeowners

Explore a catalogue design or bring your own plans. Tell ECOLIT what you want to build, where it will go and what you have already arranged.

## Choose the starting point that fits

### I’m exploring designs

Browse the building concepts and ask about the current floorplan. Tell us what you like and how you intend to use the building.

### I have a lot and a project in mind

Share the location, intended use and approximate size. Tell us whether you have a designer or contractor involved.

### I already have plans

Let us know their current status, the proposed construction system and whether the foundation has been designed. This helps define what needs to be reviewed next.

### My slab or foundation is already built

Share the foundation drawings and what has been completed. Your project team needs to review dimensions, loads and connections for the proposed frame before confirming suitability.

## Understand what your package includes

A building rendering shows a design concept. Your project scope sets out the supplied materials, drawings, finishes and services. Foundations, utility connections, site work and installation should be discussed explicitly rather than assumed to be included.

## Bring your project team into the conversation

Tell us who is responsible for design and construction. ECOLIT can then discuss the framing package and the coordination needed with your project team.

## Planning a small garden building?

Discuss a studio, shed or another intended use. Share how you want to use it and where it will be located so the team can discuss the appropriate project requirements.

## Tell us where you are today

You do not need every answer to begin. Your location, intended use and current plans give us a useful place to start.
