“Ernest is friendly helpful and to the point. He is prompt to answer emails and just gets in and does the job. He is able to say what won't work and make suggestions for alternatives as required. He can interpret our thoughts and quickly comes up with designs on paper. Have seen larger projects that he worked with and these too fit into the environment and meet the clients needs perfectly.

How to find the right building designer in Cairns, Queensland for your build or renovation


As with all other professional services for home design and renovation, the best way to choose a building designer is to assess their past work against the style and requirements you have for your individual project.Most states don’t have specific registration processes for building designers, so it’s best that your search is based on past work and referrals. Some industry bodies or professional associations, such as the Building Designers Association of Victoria (BDAV), offer a list of members, which you can check against bodies such as the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), to gauge their type of work and any registration numbers.

Once you have a shortlist of building designers, engage in face-to-face talks about your brief, to ensure you’re on the same page. To get the most value for your money, you want someone who understands you, agrees with your ideas – in relation to sustainable design, space and function – and has the qualifications and enthusiasm to translate ideas to paper and into a reality.
