Building or Renovating?

More than 80% of designs go over budget.

A poorly designed floor plan is the most expensive mistake you can make!

We provide Floor Plan Solutions with Cost Estimates, so you can move forward with confidence.

Planning to build or renovate your home in 2026?

Here's what usually happens: You hire an architect or draftsperson, fall in love with a design—then discover it's unbuildable, blows council requirements, or costs $100,000+ over budget.

There's a better way.

I'm a registered Architect in Victoria with over a decade of experience. I started Drawn Home because I kept seeing homeowners waste money on the usual approach—spending tens of thousands in fees, only to get designs they can't afford or DIY attempts that are inefficient and don't meet regulations.

Here's what we do differently:

We start with what actually matters—a floor plan that fits your brief, meets council regulations, AND cost-planned to meet your budget.

Don’t jump into the deep end without talking to us first!

People we’ve helped

  • 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!’’

  • 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...’’

  • 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.

  • Carly S

    ‘‘Hahah yeah we need to actually get our house plan to cost a lot less before we build it.

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

  • Pua F

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