Start Your Project
Starting a home project can feel exciting — and at times, overwhelming.
There are ideas to explore, budgets to consider, and decisions to make early that can have a big impact later.
Our role is to guide you through that process with clear advice, practical design, and a realistic understanding of what’s involved — before you commit to full drawings or construction.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1 — Discovery Call (Free)
We begin with a relaxed 20–30 minute phone or Zoom call.
This is a chance to talk through your ideas, your site, and what you’re hoping to achieve.
We’ll ask a few questions, share some initial thoughts, and help you understand what’s possible.There’s no pressure — it’s simply about making sure we’re the right fit to move forward.
It’s also a chance for us to get to know each other and see if the process feels right for you.
Step 2 — Pre-Design Consultation (Paid)
If you decide to take the next step, we’ll prepare a clear proposal for a Pre-Design Consultation.
This is where your project starts to take shape in a meaningful way.
This is where you gain real clarity — not just drawings.
This stage can include:
Site visit and on-site discussion
Measured understanding of the existing conditions
Concept floor plan ideas
A realistic build cost estimate
Clear guidance on next steps for approvals and design
This process is designed to give you clarity — not just drawings.
Step 3 — Concept Design
With a clear direction established, we develop your concept into a refined design.
We work with you to adjust layouts, explore ideas, and ensure the design aligns with your lifestyle, site, and budget.
Step 4 — Documentation & Approvals
We prepare all drawings and documentation required for planning and building approval, and coordinate any consultants needed along the way.
Our aim is to keep the process smooth and well-managed, so you can focus on the exciting parts of your project.
Step 5 — Builder Pricing & Next Steps
Once your design is complete, we can assist with obtaining a builder’s price — or provide everything needed for you to proceed with your preferred builder.
You’ll move forward with clarity and confidence in both the design and expected costs.
WHY WE START THIS WAY
Many projects begin with drawings before there’s a clear understanding of cost.
This can lead to redesigns, delays, and unnecessary expense.
Our approach is different.
We focus on aligning your ideas, your site, and your budget early — so the design process moves forward with confidence and fewer surprises.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
✔ You want a clear understanding of costs before committing to full design
✔ You value practical advice alongside creative design
✔ You’re planning to build, renovate, or extend in Tasmania
It may not be the right fit if you’re:
✖ You’re only looking for free plans or quick pricing
✖ You already have completed drawings ready for tender
✖ You’re comparing purely on the lowest price
NEXT STEP
If you’d like to explore your project further, the best place to start is a Discovery Call.
It’s a simple, obligation-free way to talk through your ideas and understand what the next step could look like.
Prefer to reach out by email first? That’s absolutely fine.
