Our Foundations

A Harper Building Designs was founded in 1996 by Andrew Harper and incorporated in 1998 and has continued to operate in its original form since then. Andrew, with extensive experience in the building sector including senior positions held within local government, employment within privately owned building companies and a long successful history of self employment and small business management, has demonstrated the ability to provide professionally prepared architectural documentation for some of Adelaide’s prize award winning building companies and numerous private and corporate clients.

Our Niche

Specialising in the design and documentation of low to medium density development projects where the vision of the SA Governments 30 year plan is the main focus to ensure a realistic approach to a development projects path.

With the financial funding by the Federal and State Governments in 2008, we have also been involved with the Building Education Revolution (BER) and Public Housing programs to design and document projects that meet the Governments guidelines to provide updated school facilities and outdoor learning centres for existing schools in regional and metropolitan schools in South Australia. Our involvement with the design and documentation of Class C adaptable housing for housing SA has allowed people with disabilities to be accommodated in purpose built suitable housing.

Our Core Business

With the increase demand on accommodation for international and regional students, we have also provided design and construction documentation for a number of student accommodation developments where the occupants require practical and affordable accommodation in appropriate areas of our community.

With the vision of the state government to stem the spread of development into undeveloped rural and country fringe areas, we provide the expertise to property owners to design, demolish, divide and develop their existing properties to provide modern accommodation while allowing them to remain in the localities where they are a part of. And for those who may wish to make that country lifestyle change, we have been providing documentation for transportable and relocatable homes to allow those that may seek the benefits of unlocking some well earnt capital locked away in bricks and mortar.

Not forgetting one of the most important issues, the 21st century will be remembered for the changes that we make because of environmental factors. The manner in how we capture and utilise these to a developments benefit adds value to any project.
