Building New or Renovating?

Dear Homeowner,

More than 80% of designs go over budget.

Don’t gamble time and money on a design that you can’t afford - only to find out too late.

We give you the important answers BEFORE you invest in a full design team.

  • Ridley P

    ‘‘We really appreciate what you were able to do.

    We were pretty stuck and your speed and ease of working was exactly what we needed to get the project going.’’

  • Karina & Junaid H

    ‘‘Man this is amazing thank you so much. No Planning Permit needed, so good right?

    We appreciate everything you do and thank you - really means a lot to us especially this time of our lives with all this stress and a new baby on the way!’’

  • Carly S

    ‘‘We needed to actually get our house plan to cost a lot less before we build it.

    We just need someone to tell us what to improve in the floor plan. You’re a legend!’’

  • Hayley S

    Ching had fantastic communication and was very friendly and easy to speak to in the early processes of planning a renovation for our home.

    Early drawings were done in a a very short time frame allowing us to visualise ideas to add rooms to our current home.

    We had a planning checklist, sketched plan and property report which allowed us to visualise the renovation and see it on our block of land.

  • Pua F

    '‘It’s so hard to trust people when u don’t know what you’re up against… thank u for your help.’

  • Ros M

    ‘‘What I want to avoid is have this beautiful design and then my budget is completely blown because it’s just too big.

    The changes are much better. It’s helpful to see this visually! It also helps builders give an initial quote.

    If the budget isn’t blown then I could add extra things like a media room, or study or walk in pantry and linen...’’

Don’t spend $15,000 + only to find out your design is over budget.

Here's what usually happens:

You hire an architect or draftsperson. You love the design (or you don't, but you don't know better, so you go with it).

Then, you find out it's unbuildable, fails council requirements, or goes over budget by $100,000 or more…

Or - all of the above!

Meet what we call: The Design Death Loop.

There's a better way.

After 15 years as an architect and project management consultant, I've seen a common mistake homeowners make:

Sinking tens of thousands of dollars only to fall into the “death loop”:

And having to spend more to get out of it!

We don’t want this to happen to you.

Our Framework has 3 main Gateways.

They help us see what's important. We address it right from the start:

  • How does your vision translate into a spatial layout?

  • Can you afford it?

  • Will Council approve it?
