Home Design Service for your Lifestyle & Budget

Owner builders, interstate residents/families and investors, take note, this blog is for you.

 

Spending thousands of dollars on architectural fees when designing a new home can be avoided.  Many of our clients have previously engaged architects for a small fortune with less than a desired result. Sometimes they have not been listened to, with the architect more interested in what they want than what the client wants,  or budgetary issues and cost blow outs.

Designing a custom home can be a very personal and emotional experience, obtaining optimal results within your brief and budget, while creating an exciting and dynamic design is a task for our Custom Home Design Service.

 

So what is the Pivot Homes Custom Home Design Service you say?  Designing a home customised to your brief with the opportunity to owner build or engage an independent builder.

Your Inclusions

• Land appraisal, site assessment & Feasibility
• Detailed design brief developed
• Concept design and modifications
• Design development (fine tuning of concept)

What appeals to many clients is once we have designed your new home, you have the freedom to obtain 2 or 3 quotes from local builders in order to get the best price.

With technology today ie email, skype, near maps etc designing your new home no matter where you are in Australia is really quite simple – we can access information and imaging on most blocks of land throughout Australia allowing our Design Team to study your lands solar orientation, the views, the slope and prevailing elements.Furthermore, we will guide you through and explain what information we require and how and where you can access or obtain it.  Items like the Contour Surveys, Certificate of Title, Drainage Plans, Zoning and Town Planning information, Developers Guidelines etc.
