How Our Co-Design Process Works

We’ve built a process that’s interactive, practical, and even fun.

Step 1: Discovery Call
We get to know your land (or help you find it), your preferred area, budget, and timeline. From there, you can choose how you’d like to meet us:

  • We can come to your home for an initial consultation, or
  • You can visit us at our offices in Browns Plains.

We proudly service all of Brisbane, as well as Ipswich and the Gold Coast.

Step 2: Lifestyle Mapping
First home? Next chapter? Multi-gen living? We explore what matters most to you now and in the future.

Step 3: Wish List & Priorities
Bedrooms, bathrooms, media room, home office, alfresco, pool vs garden, single or double storey. We map it all.

Step 4: Smart Planning & Feasibility
We refine ideas to suit your block, breezes, sunlight, privacy, council requirements, and budget.

Step 5: Concept Design & Refine
Our team presents floorplans and facade concepts. You provide input, we polish.

Step 6: Fixed-Scope Proposal
Transparent inclusions, realistic allowances, clear timeline. No surprises.


Why We’re Different

Most builders start with their plan, not yours. You pick the “closest fit,” then get charged to customise it—often blowing out the budget.

We start differently. We start with you. Your land, your lifestyle, your wish list. We then co-design a home that reflects how you and your family actually want to live. The best part? Our streamlined process means your custom design can often be built for little more than the equivalent quality “standard” home from a volume builder.

What We Ask You

To design your perfect home, we’ll explore questions like:

  • Do you already own land, or are you still searching?
  • Is this your first home, or are you upgrading, rebuilding, or downsizing?
  • How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need now—and in 10 years?
  • Is a media room, home office, or guest suite important?
  • Do you prefer all bedrooms upstairs, downstairs, or split?
  • How do you want to entertain—big alfresco or open-plan kitchen?
  • Would you rather a pool or a bigger garden?
  • What’s your approach to storage, natural light, and energy efficiency?


What You Get

By the end of our co-design phase, you’ll have:

  • A site-responsive concept that fits your land
  • A floorplan tailored to your family
  • Facade options with modern appeal
  • Clear preliminary budget guidance
  • A full inclusions list and build timeline
  • Confidence you won’t face costly mid-build variations


Value Without Compromise

Custom doesn’t have to mean expensive. By investing the time upfront to get it right, we help you avoid the hidden fees and redraw costs common with template-based builders. The result: a home that’s exactly what you want, without blowing the budget.New Paragraph

Our Design Promise

As a family-run builder, we treat every project like it’s our own. We promise to:

  • Listen first
  • Be transparent and upfront
  • Respect your budget and lifestyle goals
  • Deliver quality craftsmanship and modern aesthetics

FAQ's

  • Is a custom home much more expensive than a plan-book home?

    Not with us. We design smartly from day one, so your custom design often costs little more than a comparable cookie-cutter build.

  • How long does the co-design phase take?

    Typically 8–12 weeks, depending on feedback and complexity.

  • Can you help if we don’t own land yet?

    Yes—we’ll guide you on suitable block sizes, orientation, and area options.

  • What if this is our first build?

    Perfect! We’ll walk you through every step.

  • What if it’s our, second third or fourth?

    We love working with experienced clients too. You’ll appreciate our streamlined, collaborative approach.

  • Can we add extras later?

    Yes—but designing them in upfront saves you money and hassle.
