The first step is to conduct a feasibility study and initial site analysis to assess the potential of your project. This includes understanding zoning requirements, potential returns on investment, and identifying any constraints. Consultation with our town planning and design teams will help you navigate these early stages effectively.

The timeline can vary significantly depending on the location, scale of the project, and the specific requirements of local councils. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Our expertise in dealing with local authorities helps streamline this process, aiming for the most efficient progression from concept to approval.

We provide solutions from initial design to the Building Permit, including obtaining all necessary council approvals. While we focus primarily on the design and approvals, we work closely with you to find trusted construction partners to ensure the build phase meets our high standards.

Common challenges include managing community expectations, navigating complex zoning laws, and optimizing site potential. We address these by early and continuous engagement with stakeholders, thorough knowledge of regulatory environments, and innovative design practices that maximize both aesthetic appeal and functionality.

While custom home design can initially seem more expensive, it provides significant long-term value. Custom homes are designed specifically for your lifestyle, preferences, and the unique characteristics of your site, which means every aspect of your home is optimized for maximum functionality and personalization.

We thrive on creatively addressing complex site conditions. Our designs take into account topography, climate, and local regulations to ensure not just compliance but also durability, functionality, and aesthetics. Our expertise enables us to transform potential challenges such as irregularly shaped lots or steeply sloped sites into distinctive design features. Off-the-plan solutions from volume builders often fall short on such sites. With our bespoke design approach, we can help you unlock the full potential of your property, ensuring that your space is maximized and perfectly adapted to your needs.

Custom home designs offer several benefits:

• Tailored Living Spaces: Every element of the design is created to suit your specific needs and aesthetic preferences.
• Efficient Use of Land: Custom designs can be adapted to fit any plot shape or size, making efficient use of the space and often overcoming challenges posed by difficult site conditions.
• Future Flexibility: Homes are designed with future needs in mind, allowing for easier modifications or expansions compared to standard designs.

Consider your long-term lifestyle needs, the natural features of your site, your budget, and future goals. Planning with these factors in mind ensures that your home not only meets your current needs but also adapts to future changes. Our team can help guide you through these considerations to create a home that truly fits your life.

A rooming house is a type of rental accommodation where individual rooms are rented out to tenants, often with shared common areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Rooming houses are typically used by individuals seeking affordable housing options and may be especially attractive to students, young professionals, or individuals on a budget.

Unlike other types of developments, setting up a rooming house doesn’t usually require a planning permit. Instead, it generally only requires a building permit. Which means it can save you a lot of time spent in and construction can be started within 2 to 3 months.

Rooming houses offer a great opportunity for rental income, often providing a higher return on investment compared to traditional townhouses or units. Depending on factors such as location, size, and condition of the property, rental income from a rooming house can range from $2700 to $3300 per week. This makes it an attractive option for investors seeking steady cash flow.
