Our customers are our number one focus. Listening carefully to your ideas and needs, we develop a functional design to suit your lifestyle. By planning for the needs of today and tomorrow, we can future proof your home to suit.
With such an extensive range of building materials to choose from, we will deliver a design that prioritises functionality, simplicity and quality.
From idea to concept to your dream home.
Consultation
Our team will meet with you face to face to listen to your ideas, individual needs and purpose, whilst considering external factors and site constraints. This discussion will provide us with your design brief detailing your project that we will work on collaboratively.
Concept Design
This is the first step where your brief is visualised and becomes a reality. Floor plans are formed with CAD software and various options & revisions are discussed through the initial concept stage.
Working Drawings
Full detailed technical plans are produced for your builder to begin construction. Drawing sets typically include Site plans, Floor plans, External elevations, Electrical plans, Section and Construction details. Your preferred builder and surveyor will lodge these plans for a building permit.
All homes undertake an Energy Assessment to ensure they meet the minimum star rating. New homes must meet a minimum of 7 stars under a NatHERS assessment. We consider sustainability during the design process and include a preliminary rating early in the concept design phase.
We work collaboratively with local Engineers to provide certified designs for all footing, structural & bracing requirements. Engineering details are important for your builder to complete accurate pricing and ensure your project is structurally sound.
3D Renders are a great way to visualise your design by creating realistic images prior to the build. High quality renders depict lighting, textures and materials that closely resemble the final product. We can assist with your external material and colour selections on a digital colour board.
