Custom Design Homes

Custom designed homes are becoming more popular today than ever before due to the changing needs of our society. Eco home designs, passive solar orientation, cross ventilation and environmentally friendly houses can only be built if each vacant building block of land is assessed on its very own merits. With the pending change to six star ratings for all new homes built in Australia coming into force on the first of May 2011 a custom home is the most practical way to achieve the additional star rating required.

When designing a new home for a potential home buyer the first step for any good home designer is to visit the building site. This is where the site is assessed for views, obstructions, northern aspect, access, building services (such as power supply, water, gas and sewerage), prevailing winds which will be used for cross ventilation cooling and landscaping options, just to name a few. It's in this stage of house design that ideas are formed in the designers mind that will later be translated by pen onto sketch pad and subsequently finalised in an CAD design.
