guide you from concept to completion. Our process ensures your custom home in Australia is designed, approved, and ready to build with confidence.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Preliminary Plans

We start your custom home design journey by understanding your vision, lifestyle, and lot requirements. During this stage, we explore all possibilities and begin shaping a design that perfectly suits your lot size, family needs, and functional requirements. This step sets the foundation for a seamless design experience and ensures your ideas are translated into practical layouts.


Step 2: Lodging Certificates & Applications

Next, we manage all council approvals, including development applications (DA) and construction certificates (CC). Our team ensures all documentation meets regulatory requirements, saving you time and helping your project comply with NSW building regulations.


Step 3: Approvals & Confidence Before Building

The final stage focuses on obtaining approvals, liaising directly with certifiers and councils, addressing any queries, and making adjustments where necessary. By the end of this stage, your project is fully approved and ready for construction, giving you peace of mind.


To give you full confidence before building, we also offer additional services:

  • 3D Rendering – Visualise your home in detail before construction begins.

  • Interior Design Sydney – Tailor every room to your style and lifestyle.

  • Life Size Home Visualisation - Experience your design at full scale and make adjustments before construction starts.



Why Professional Drafting Matters

  • Avoiding costly construction errors with accurate, compliant plans.

  • Streamlined approvals through expertly prepared documentation.
