What we do, and what it costs.
Real published figures. Projects are quoted as a fixed price from these fees, not estimated against them.
Four houses, four budgets
Budgets given as ranges because clients are entitled to their privacy.
Victorian terrace, whole house — Paddington
Fourteen months, stripped to brick, rebuilt around how a family with two small children actually moves through the house.
Two-bedroom flat — Rosalie
Sixty square metres made to feel considerably larger with joinery, lighting and one wall removed.
Cottage kitchen extension — Ashgrove
A single-storey extension and a kitchen that finally faces the garden. Six months, one very patient client.
New build, interiors only — New Farm
Design-only scheme for a developer shell. Delivered as drawings and a shopping list the owners executed themselves.
Four rules
All four are in the contract and visible on every invoice.
A fixed design fee
Agreed from the drawings and the scope before we start. It does not move because the budget did.
Trade prices passed on
Every item at what we paid for it, shown next to the retail price. Our margin is the fee, and only the fee.
Your budget is the brief
We design to what you have said you will spend. Presenting a scheme you cannot afford wastes everybody’s time.
We will tell you what not to do
Sometimes the answer is paint and better lighting rather than a renovation. It is a smaller job and often the right one.
Three ways to engage us
All fees exclude GST. Trade discounts on everything specified are passed to you at cost and evidenced on the invoice.
One room, one day
A full day at your house solving a single room, followed by a written scheme and shopping list within a week.
Design only
Full scheme, layouts, drawings and specification for you or your builder to execute. Priced by room count.
Design and management
Everything above plus running the project: trades, procurement, site visits and snagging through to handover.
Six rooms from the last two years

Book a consultation. If we are not right for it, we will say so on the call.
An hour, at your house, on the actual room. No obligation, and no proposal unless you want one.
