FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Residential Custom Design Geelong
What is residential custom design, and how is it different from buying off-the-plan?
Custom design means we create a home specifically for you – based on your land, lifestyle, and vision. Unlike off-the-plan homes, residential custom design Geelong projects are unique, adaptable, and more in tune with how you want to live.
Do you help with council planning approvals?
Yes, we provide full town planning and permit documentation and help you navigate overlays, ResCode, bushfire zones, and other council requirements.
How long does the custom design process take?
It varies depending on complexity, but most custom designs take 3–6 weeks from concept to permit-ready. We’ll provide a clear timeline upfront.
Can you work with our builder or recommend one?
Absolutely. We can coordinate with your chosen builder or connect you with trusted local builders familiar with residential custom design Geelong projects.
