Rural Recovery & Additions banner

Project Summary:

New owners, have purchased an incomplete dwelling on a rural property in NSW and seek to finish the build, but to a slightly different design than what has been approved in the original development application. While a large part of the home is essentially complete, one end has just a slab and external blockwork walls erected. BYO Floor Plan's task was to help the new owners reimagine the incomplete structure, improve upon its existing interiors to better suit their lifestyle and tastes.

Integral to the project, has been the interior design which has been carefully crafted to ensure the home will have a bespoke, relaxed and natural vibe rather than a standard finish lacking texture, colour and unqiue features.

Project Status:

New detailed drawings, in conjunction with supporting consultant bushfire and Basix reports are currently being prepared for development approval, to allow the changes to take place. The new design will also encompass additional structures such as a sunken firepit, verandah, carport, and enclosed garage to further improve the functionality and value of the property.

About the
Professional

Are you a Tradie or Construction Professional?
We recognise you have an understanding of construction, but may need some guidance through the design and approval process, so by bringing your own floor plan to us, we specialise in fast-tracking this process. With an Open Building Designer's License, we can provide as much or little assistance as you'd like to help you achieve the best outcome for your project.  

Unlike 99% of architects might tell you, we don't 'specialise' in a dozen different categories of buildings. BYO Floor Plan specialises in a process. That is consulting to clients who have a sound knowledge of the construction industry, although seek professional assistance to take their ideas from sketches into builder's quotes and approvals. Usually, that is one key thing, bridging the gap between the floor plan you've arrived at and its approval to start construction.  

By "Bringing Your Own Floor Plan" and design imagery to us, we’ll get the creative juices flowing right away by creating your building's scale and character. When we present the design(s) you’ll be pleased by the elegantly resolved solution and feel as if you’ve had significant design input. Often our clients are pleasantly surprised that it appears just as they had imagined it even though they couldn’t actually imagine it!  

BYO Floor Plan operates under an Open Building Designer’s License (QBCC 15254518), is professionally insured, is a full member of the Building Designer’s Association of Australia, and actively attends industry events. While we are based on the Gold Coast, we have projects as far south as the Byron Shire and as far north as the Whitsundays. Call or email us today to find out how to turn your floor plan sketch into 3 comparable quotes from licensed builders.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
