Having worked with builders for so long, I have a better idea than others in the industry of the appropriate square metre rate of what my design will be. However, your final price won’t be known until all factors are taken into account, including final design brief, level of finish, council approvals and site costs, to name a few.

After we finalise your design brief I can have the design concept back to you within 3 weeks. If you require full plans and documentation I can provide a scheduled estimate of time based on my knowledge of local councils.

All very good questions but are site specific and so cannot be appropriately addressed here. In general terms anything can be done...at a price.

The BDAA estimates that 75-80% of all residential building design in Australia is performed by Building Designers. Over time, Australians have been turning towards Building Designers as very experienced and acclaimed at what they design every day, as opposed to putting their immediate trust in architects, sometimes more focussed on creative complexity, over and above your daily needs.

With over two and a half decades of design experience, Russell can advise and guide you through the design and building process starting with a pre-design consultation to discuss your ideas, needs and expectations.

The answer to this question is dependent on the conditions of your site, your design brief and budget. After a pre-design consultation and site visit, Russell can individually advise you on the best materials to use for your unique project.
