Many people are now choosing to have their home designed by us here at Studio West Design simply for the extra freedom and peace of mind it gives.  For example: are you not happy with the first builder's quote?  No problem - it's your design - just take your plans to another builder.  Not happy with the second builders' quote?  Or are you interested in owner-building?  No problem - you are free to use your plans as you wish without fear of copyright infringement.

Although some people are fortunate and have a natural flair for design, the design of your home addition or new home can be quite a daunting task for most people. Hiring a building designer is a wise choice when you consider the many benefits and peace of mind it will bring.

In addition to the obvious benefits, a good building designer will use sustainable and solar-passive design principles. This is important to help you reduce energy consumption in the home not only saving heating and cooling costs in the short term, but also helping to save our environment in the long term.

A good building designer will also understand the requirements of government building regulations. This is important to help your project meet the approval of your local shire council the first time when it's time to apply for building approval.
