What Is A Building Designer?

A Building Designer is a professional who has the knowledge and experience to design residential buildings that meet all relevant legal requirements. A good building designer will take into consideration all safety, health and design requirements as mandated by local government and other governing bodies. Louise Andrew Design’s team also consults with local authorities to ensure every project meets their criteria.

Do you provide a ballpark figure for my building project?

No. Unfortunately it isn’t possible to provide building costings due to each builder having their own pricing structure and the constantly changing prices of materials. Your budget is always top of mind when creating a building design concept and sketches can be provided to your builder for quoting.

Why should I invest in custom building design?

In today’s world, the power of thoughtful and clever building design is unparalleled. From how we interact with our spaces to individual relationships, quality design can deliver better experiences and make life much easier. It has the potential to address real issues that arise in everyday situations – making it one of your biggest investments ever! As such, smart homeowners should never take their chances when deciding on this precious asset; they must ensure good planning and execution for a successful outcome.

Pros and cons of design and build

A Geelong building designer is a pretty self-explanatory job; it’s someone who designs buildings in Geelong. Building designers are not the same as registered architects, but they do fulfil many of the same roles as an architect in the area of building design.

Just like in any other industry, each design practice has its unique approach. In the case of building designers, their role involves creating designs for new buildings or renovations/extensions. Additionally, they are responsible for documenting these designs for approvals and construction purposes. They also advise builders on design materials to be used.

There are different qualifications for building designers, such as having a degree in architecture (even if not registered with the Board of Architects), a diploma in building design, or architectural technology. Building designers have three license categories for low, medium, and highrise buildings. The category they hold determines which types and sizes of projects they can work on.

Using a building designer for any type of project has many benefits. Firstly, they are much more cost effective than an architect, as their fees are often lower and they can work faster due to their knowledge and experience with the local Geelong area. Additionally, they have expertise in areas such as energy efficiency, sustainability principles and construction costs.
