What I offer
Building design services for Melbourne homes
From a simple extension to a full new home, I handle the design and documentation side so you can focus on the exciting part — watching your project come to life.
New homes & extensionsBuilding Design
I work with you from the very first idea through to a complete set of design drawings. Whether you're building new, extending, or reconfiguring your existing home, I'll develop a design that suits your lifestyle, your block, and your budget — and make sure it meets all Victorian building regulations.
- Initial design concept and site analysis
- Floor plans, elevations and sections
- Compliance with Victorian building regulations
- Coordination with your builder or trades
Council applicationsPlanning Permits
Not every project needs a planning permit, but when one is required, the process can feel daunting. I prepare the full application — drawings, reports, and supporting documents — and manage the submission with your local council on your behalf.
- Assessment of whether a permit is required
- Preparation of planning drawings and reports
- Lodgement with the relevant council
- Responding to council queries and conditions
Construction documentationWorking Drawings
Once design and planning are sorted, your builder needs a detailed set of construction documents to price and build from. I produce clear, thorough working drawings that leave nothing to guesswork — saving time and avoiding costly surprises on site.

- Specifications and notes
- Coordination with engineers and consultants
- Building permit documentation
