Specialised Design Services — Gold Coast

It depends on the scope. A cosmetic update — new tiles, fixtures, and paint — may not require formal design documentation. But if your bathroom renovation involves moving plumbing, changing the layout, modifying walls, or altering waterproofing, then proper design documentation is strongly recommended and may be required for building approval. A set of detailed plans ensures your trades are coordinated, compliance is addressed, and the finished result matches what you approved.

Design fees for smaller projects typically start from around $3,000 and scale with complexity. A straightforward bathroom redesign or simple deck will cost less than a multi-room internal reconfiguration or a large outdoor entertaining area. My initial consultation is $280, credited toward your design fees if you proceed, and during that session I give you a realistic idea of what the design work will involve for your specific project. Book a consultation to get an accurate estimate.

I design projects of all sizes — from a single bathroom to a complete custom home. Every project gets the same level of detail and construction knowledge. In fact, smaller projects often benefit the most from professional design because the margin for error is tighter and the cost of getting it wrong is proportionally higher. Whether it is one room or the whole house, the process starts with understanding what you need and producing documentation that gets it built right.
