Architectural Design Services

Our house designer produces concept sketches, 3‑D models and full working drawings ready for council lodgement. We start with lifestyle questions, morning sun rituals, storage habits, future‑proofing . After that we translate answers into room sizes, window placements and material palettes.

Need interior help? We can add mood boards, lighting plans and joinery drawings, or collaborate with your preferred stylist. Every line drawn balances aesthetics, practicality and cost.

The resulting documentation is exhaustive, yet still flexible for final tweaks pre‑consent.

Energy‑Smart Inclusions

High‑performance insulation, Low‑E double glazing, ducted heat‑pump systems and orientation for passive solar gain come as standard recommendations. You can add solar‑PV readiness, under‑slab insulation or rain‑water harvesting for even lower running costs. Because these features are baked into the design stage, they integrate cleanly and often cost less than retro‑fits. The outcome: a warm, quiet, healthy home with noticeably smaller power bills and a lighter environmental footprint.

Transparent Pricing & Contracts

After concept approval we supply a line‑by‑line quote showing materials, labour, PC sums and provisional allowances. Once specifications firm up, that figure converts to a fixed‑price contract backed by the Halo 10‑Year Guarantee. Progress payments align with bank draw‑downs, and any client‑initiated variation is cost, quoted and signed off before action. No hidden clauses; no surprise invoices – just straight, honest accounting from a family‑run firm.
