Steve Laux Building Designs came recommended through a friend in our local community.
Steve’s ability to visualise his client’s individual briefs and transfer it to paper in a time sensitive manner makes his brand a market leader.
A highly organised master in consultation, who mentors his clients throughout the design process ensuring best practice and savvy outcomes.
Steve Laux Building Designs is the company we recommend for your dream design.

Steve has been a great help in the design of my home. He offers sound advice without being pushy and respects my opinions/ideas.
The project was reasonably priced and he is conscious of designing/building within my budget.
My house is still at the early construction stage but is well on track

I would highly recommend Steve of Steve Laux Building. He has helped us with stage 1 of our renovation. He thought of things we would never have thought to consider and thus maximised the potential of our space. Throughout the process he was very available, and i am now loving my new kitchen/family space and looking forward to working with him for stage 2.

Steve is a fantastic Architect who really understands what his client is trying to achieve. Steve designed two properties for us on our block and helped us through the whole planning process as well.
Steve's design achieved our goals and he was always receptive to our ideas and interpretations of what we wanted to achieve. The overall finish has resulted in some recent excellent valuations for us and he delivered his designs and drawings on time and to the cost we agreed.
We are now looking for our next project and would not hesitate in getting Steve back on board in the design process.

I liked Steve's ideas and his preparedness to discuss different possibilities. I really liked his floor plan, it covered everything I had asked for and then some. Unfortunately circumstances beyond my control meant we had to stop the project. If things change in the future I would be happy to continue to work with Steve.

WOW a great renovation!!! Thanks so much Steve, you sure did nail the brief. Spot on, well done!!
We are truly thankful we found you. Your ability to make us feel at ease through the process of the design and build is much appreciated. Your understanding of the house and our brief and the resulting design was very efficient. We can't tell you enough how much we love our house now. Such an amazing transformation.

Steve has assisted us in a small owner-builder renovation (master bedroom and ensuite bathroom). He listened to what we wanted, and then provided great advice for the best utilisation of space. We have never renovated before, and so Steve offered to help with any information we needed throughout the whole build, including trade contacts, a rough schedule for the build, and general advice on being an owner-builder. He made sure we had every possible document ready to get a building permit, which we received on the first attempt. We would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking to renovate themselves or with a builder.

Steven is well regarded in the industry and when the opportunity came to hire him for some recent drafting work on a commercial project I certainly was not disappointed.
He was forthcoming with his information, his attention to detail on works + quick turn around made it seamless in managing my clients expectations.
Would definitely recommend him for any works commercial or residential in the future!!

An Update, at last we have our Planning Permit from council that enables us to proceed with building our dream home.
We have a beautiful, exciting house design that Steve has drawn for us and has made the whole process so far a very exciting experience. Working with such a professional, knowledgeable designer certainly take the pressure off clients. Thanks Steve

Comment from Steve Laux Building Designs:
Heather,
Thank you for your kind words. The relationship between client and designer should be an enjoyable and honest one, and I think we both feel this is the case. I look forward to guiding you through the remainder of the process and delivering you and David a beautiful home.

This review of Steve is a testament to his ability to understand and interpret our brief into a beautiful home that my wife and I are in the stages of building in the Nillumbik Shire.
His ability to engage with us and guide us through the process of design, Town Planning and the processes beyond is a credit to him. A tricky process made easy with Steve’s
guidance though council’s red tape.
We have encountered nothing but a positive attitude from the outset since engaging him, and he always go out of his way to please.
A credit to a professional who take pride in his work and his abilities. Thanks Steve Laux Building Designs

Comment from Steve Laux Building Designs:
Johl, thank you. The challenge with a contentious site was rewarded with a positive outcome through council at the planning stages. Your willingness to allow me to guide the application through the approval process has resulted in a home that you should be proud of. Thanks again.

We started a rather large home renovation with Steve but had to stop once it became clear that Steve was not prepared to cater to our needs and wants. Even after we explained our layout requirements, these were repeatedly dismissed and ignored. This seemed odd, but when we received our bill we realised that he charges for each layout provided, so was quickly becoming much more expensive than initially quoted.
Also the plans did not even have a functional kitchen that had the basic working triangle.
His layouts consistently contained 'deal breakers' and these wayward attempts were costing us time and money. even though they did not meet our requirements. We had a significant budget but by consistently adding extra options and ignoring our basic needs, it was becoming clear that these were going to blow out our budget. Any attempt to clarify our needs was met with resistance and cost us thousands of dollars, as each of these 'meetings' were charged as an extra cost on top of the cost of each plan. Even though each plan did not meet even our most basic requirements, there was no concession in costing.
After discussions with Steve, he was not prepared to make any concession, and ultimately we felt we were paying for work that was not up to standard and there seemed no incentive for Steve to provide 'well considered' plans, as each attempt comes at a set cost regardless of quality.

Steve designed my new build project in Elwood and has helped me with the building process, recommending tradesmen and approached, as well as helping with council submissions. I've found him to be diligent, knowledgable and easy to work with.
