Frequently Asked Questions

It is likely you are investing a lot of money in a renovation or new build project and therefore it is important that it both functions well and looks good for many years to come. This is where a qualified Interior Designer can help you to achieve both these outcomes and make the most of your investment.

We have a trained eye. We can spot design issues well before a kitchen or bathroom is finished and can help mitigate these through intelligent and innovative design strategies that ensure the end result is not compromised.

We can save you money. With extensive supplier knowledge and trade contacts we can make recommendations that cater to a range of budgets. We also use our knowledge to intervene early and prevent common design mistakes which can be costly to fix.

We know the relevant Australian building regulations so can help advise you early in the design process on key points which may influence design and construction down the line.

We keep your project budget on track to help prevent blow outs. We can also provide helpful tips and strategies to help you save in some areas so you can invest in others such as that beautiful tile or tap ware you have always wanted.

Our initial site visit start at $300 including GST. This includes a measure of the space by our interior designer, discussion of design ideas, layout options and the look and finish of the space. This will enable us to complete a comprehensive design proposal and quote for our design service, based on your requirements. This amount is then discounted off the total design cost if you decide to proceed with us.

As a starting price guide, a single kitchen or bathroom design package including plans, specifications and 3D images costs $2,800 including GST.

However, each project is unique and therefore we provide a tailored design solution and costs quoted on a case by case basis. The cost of each project scales in proportion to the requirements and depends on the level of service you are after.

You can visit our Services page for more information about the range of services we offer.

The best thing to do is to get in touch and send us some top line details of your upcoming project so we can work out what sort of design package can best help you.

During the initial design consultation we come to your home and sit with you to discuss your design pain points, problem area’s, key project outcomes, scope of works and budget. We assess your aesthetics and lifestyle in your existing space. This is an exploration meeting to discover as much about you and your project requirements as possible.

After the initial design meeting we will prepare a full design proposal tailored to your exact needs. It outlines our design stages, design scope of works, design brief and details our design fees that are tailored to your exact needs. We will present this to you and call you to run through it in detail so you understand how we are able to assist and to answer any questions you may have.

We have a 9 stage process:

1. Initial Consultations

2. Design Proposal

3. Design Concept

4. Design Development

5. Documentation

6. Estimation and Tendering

7. Construction Management & Procurement

8. Client Handover

9. Client Follow Up

Yes! Once the design is paid in full you can use the design documentation package and plans to engage your own builder to carry out the works.

We also work with a number of builders and are able to recommend someone that could be suitable for your project.
