Design Solutions Studio exceeded our expectations. Louie was easy to work with, highly knowledgeable, and delivered a residential design that perfectly balanced functionality and aesthetics.
The entire process—from concept design to council approval—was smooth and well managed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality residential design and drafting services.

We had a challenging block of land, but Design Solutions Studio came up with a brilliant design that maximized the space and views. We’re so happy with the result and would highly recommend them.
Homeowner
Your fees will depend entirely on the scope and complexity of your project. A small renovation will cost less than a new multi-storey home, for example. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote within 12 hours of our initial discussion so you have full clarity on all costs before you commit to anything.
Both roles can successfully design your home, but they have different areas of focus. Architects often focus more on the aesthetic and conceptual side of design. As expert draftspeople, we specialise in meticulous technical documentation and the council approval process, offering a highly focused, cost-effective solution to get your project build-ready.
This timeframe varies depending on the approval pathway your project requires. A straightforward Complying Development Certificate (CDC) for a project that meets all predefined standards can often be approved in a matter of weeks. A more complex Development Application (DA) requires a full council assessment and can take several months. We’ll help you navigate the fastest possible route for your specific design.
