Our Services
​
BYO can provide as much or as little help as required because we realise every project and client’s needs differ. Sometimes our clients prefer us to take more leadership in the pre-construction and design process, providing guidance on how to make the most of their property and achieve their goals. Operating with a QBCC Open Building Designer's License we are fully qualified to design any building type in QLD and houses, duplexes and Townhouses in NSW.
Acting as your pre-construction project manager, we set out a staged timeline that works towards being build-ready in a structured and methodical way to avoid delays and council surprises.
​
Typically our services follow the below phases. (*Phases 4-6 are optional)
​
0. Predesign: Project Briefing, Site Analysis and local planning searches for your property
-
Concept Design - 2x plan options Included!
-
Design Development - Suitable for most DAs
-
Working Drawings - For 1 Builder to quote from (also used for Building Approval/Construction Certificate)

*Tender Package - Full set of drawings and interior design documents to allow multiple builders to quote.

*Value Management - Assistance and drawing amendments to adjust construction cost or design
-
*Support during construction (Phone and email support, site visits, extra drawings)

A detailed summary of each stage will be in your written quote. Generalised stage descriptions with examples for the website are coming soon.

Testimonials
​
"Awesome company to work with, very professional in their approach with excellent, creativity, suggestions and attention to detail. The principal Scott designed me a beautiful home that is currently under construction and his communication and patience as we worked through the design was superb."

"Highly recommend Scott and his team. We engaged BYO to assist us with coming up with the design for the facade renovation of our home and were very satisfied with the outcome. Scott met with us a number of times and was flexible and patient as we worked through design options to arrive at our final design. Our renovation is now complete and we are very happy with the finished product. Being able to give BYO’s elevation drawings and material schedule to the builder allowed us to get an accurate estimate and eliminate scope creep."
