Building Design FAQ

Common questions about our building design services

What is the difference between a building designer and an architect?

Building designers and architects both create residential designs, but architects complete a longer university degree and are registered with the Architects Registration Board. Building designers are typically more cost-effective for residential projects while delivering comparable quality designs. At Sydney House Design, we're registered with the Building Designers Association of Australia (BDAA) and have extensive experience in residential design across Sydney.

What areas of Sydney do you service?

We service all of Sydney including the Lower North Shore (Mosman, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, Northbridge, Lane Cove, Chatswood), Inner West (Lilyfield, Leichhardt, Balmain, Rozelle), Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Hills District, and greater Sydney. We also work on projects in regional NSW including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, and South Coast.

What is your design process?

Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your vision and site. We then develop concept designs with floor plans and 3D visualisations. After your approval, we refine the design development with detailed drawings and material specifications. We manage the DA or CDC approval process with council, and provide ongoing support through construction.

How much do your building design services cost?

Our concept design packages start from $3,000, with comprehensive packages including DA coordination and construction documentation available from $12,000. Pricing depends on project complexity, site conditions, and approval pathway. We provide transparent quotes after understanding your specific requirements during the initial consultation.

Do you handle council approvals?

Yes, we manage both Development Application (DA) and Complying Development Certificate (CDC) pathways. Our team prepares all required documentation, liaises with council planners, and manages the approval process on your behalf. We have extensive experience with councils across Sydney and understand their specific requirements.

What sustainable design features do you incorporate?

We integrate sustainable design principles into every project including passive solar design, natural ventilation, energy-efficient materials, water-saving features, and BASIX compliance. We can also incorporate solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and high-performance glazing to create energy-efficient homes that reduce your environmental footprint and running costs.
