1 Capability Statement Partners in your building success

2 Welcome Keystone Architects is an experienced, full service architectural practice based in Maryborough, Queensland and serving the Wide Bay and Burnett regions and beyond. We regularly undertake projects in Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Childers, Bundaberg, Gympie, Cooroy, Kingaroy, Murgon, Gayndah and Mundubbera and have been as far afield as Agnes Water and Theodore. We have been operating here since 1990 and have established a broad network of fruitful working relationships with local authorities, consulting engineers, surveyors, builders, tradesmen and suppliers- in fact, the full team necessary to execute any kind of building project. We hold all appropriate licences and insurances and are prequalified to Level 3 with the Queensland State Government. This means that we can, and do, undertake projects worth a few thousand dollars up to projects worth millions of dollars. What do we do? We provide traditional architectural services, working closely with all stakeholders and authorities to achieve a compliant, cost effective and operationally complete building on behalf of our clients. Our work is undertaken in structured stages, the extent of our involvement depending on where in the process we get on board and how much assistance each of our clients requires from us. Our work is delivered electronically using words and both two dimensional and three dimensional images to describe how a particular building outcome is to be achieved. We work with qualified specialist consultants such as structural, civil, hydraulic, acoustic and fire engineers, to name just a few. Our role is to obtain advice appropriate to each project and ensure that it fully incorporated into the design process. At times we even collaborate with other architects. I have been extremely happy with the professionalism of Keystone Architects. We continue to have a great relationship after 14 years of extensive staged projects on both my sites Martin Singer, Martin Singer Motors 2
