Featured Reviews for Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers

Evadys Design
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
30September,2019
“I engaged Evadys to design a two townhouse project. I found them to be very professional and very accommodating. Apart from the 3D plans I was impressed with the 3D video walkthrough they produced. The video gave me a better idea how the final project will look and feel walking through. Evadys was recommended to me by a friend and I would highly recommend them for all types of design.”
Composite Design & Drafting
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
25May,2017
“Steven Colakidis is the best and I would highly recommend him. Steven was able to take our design and give us everything we wanted and more. he was always available to discus changes and always made my husband and I feel confident that we were getting what we wonted. he has designed our dream home!! Thank you Steven :)”
Positive Footprints Pty Ltd
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
15November,2014
“Positive Footprints have done an outstanding job from the design stage right through to the building process. The house is on a small inner city block, with heritage and overlooking restrictions. My brief was for a sustainable house, with flexible spaces, outdoor vistas; which was light filled and capitalized on its northern sunny orientation. Extending only two meters kept the garden as large as possible. Three upstairs decks increase outdoor living, cross ventilation and the vistas of sky. Positive Footprints were professional, open and helpful; and provided impeccable craftsmanship. They enabled me to incorporate my mosaic tile designs, the use of unusual materials and other personal interior design choices. A melding of their inspired, sustainable design and my creative input, has resulted in a beautiful and comfortable house which is a pleasure to live in.”
RBD Residential Building Design
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers

“Tim, Craig and Maria at Residential Building Design are highly skilled professionals who go above and beyond to get the job done, on time and budget. Thanks team for all your hard work and efforts to date.”
Sketch Building Design
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
26September,2016
“We engaged Darrin Albert from Sketch Building Design to design our family home renovation. Darrin came highly recommended and we were certainly not disappointed. Our vision was to develop a contemporary two storey addition to our Edwardian home. The design delivered and service provided exceeded our expectations. Darrin and the team were professional, enthusiastic, responsive and focused on our needs and budget. They were a pleasure to deal with and we would happily recommend.”
Pasco Design
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
13October,2013
“Dianne has assisted me on a number of projects over the years including a brief to repurpose our home to a B&B. Dianne came up with practical yet fabulous designs from inception to final drawings. The most remarkable project Dianne undertook for me was to assist me when selecting the colour palate and fittings for the internal and external finishes for our new home build. It was a task I was dreading as making the wrong choices would not only have been costly but we would have had to live with the wrong decisions for a very long time. It was fantastic seeing Dianne at work, her eye for colour and detail meant that we motored through the whole day appointment in a few short hours and the results, now that we’re in our home, are totally fabulous.”
eme design
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
17February,2015
“eme design designed & oversaw the construction of a new house for me. Throughout this process they were supportive, responsive, communicated well & were a pleasure to work with. Their experience & empathy allowed them to intuit ideas & solutions that suited me & my current lifestyle, but which also support an ethical & sustainable approach to living in the future. The design created by eme was delightful, displaying sensitivity to historical & geographical factors, the house fitting in well to the small street in my inner suburb & providing a creative, sustainable & eye-catching take on the weatherboard worker's cottage that it replaced. Based on an initial brief of an energy efficient house on a tight block with enough space for a highly productive garden, it is a lovely house to live in, skillfully designed in such a way that there is a natural flow from one part of the house to another & no wasted space. Through the use of carefully placed windows, sloping eaves & an internal rendered brick wall that absorbs the heat from the winter sun, the house is naturally cool in summer & warm in winter with lots of natural light coming in through windows that frame a range of views of the outside world. The budget was tight but adhered to.”
Design Unity
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
14January,2013
“We contracted Warren Jenkins from Design Unity to come up with a plan for our drem home on acreage and manage the project to it's completion. His skills and experience were evident from our first meeting when he drove across town to meet us and discuss our plans. Warren and Design Unity have been a pleasure to deal with. He has accommodated our every (ever changing and sometimes demanding) request/s in a very professional and enthusiastic manner. We have very confidence that our trust in Design Unity ha been very well placed. Paul and SherrinSalloum.”
Altereco Design
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
31October,2016
“We used Altereco to draw up our home renovation plans. James was great to work with, he understood what we were after and had great ideas. The job was done quickly and professionally - he really knew what he was doing!”
Steve Laux Building Designs
Melbourne, Victoria Building Designers
14July,2016
“I have commissioned Steve Laux Building Designs for 2 bespoke developments and have utilised his services for project management and construction involvement throughout each of these projects with outstanding results. He seems to extract the most out of all trades to ensure only the best will do. His ability to take on a vision and provide a design that inspires is a credit to his approach to his work. Attention to detail, client liason and his ability to achieve a result expected of me, is a true testament to his aim of providing buildings of exceptional standards.”

How to find the right building designer in Melbourne, Victoria 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.
