Building Designer Sydney for your Expert Home Improvement

Martina Hayes is an experienced and creative building designer Sydney offering services for home renovations and new builds. We plan attractive residences that complement your lifestyle.

We specialise in renovations, including relocating internal walls and building new homes.

As building designers in Sydney, we not only create visually attractive homes but also design functional spaces to improve your daily life.

Building designer Sydney with end-to-end service

Specialising in end-to-end design services, Martina and her team can safely escort you through the building and renovation process from concept all the way to specification of the final finishes.

With our extensive experience in building design, space planning and interior design we will help you achieve your aspirations. But we will also guide you through the entire process, from initial design through planning and construction to completion.

We are your one-stop shop for anyone seeking stunning building and interior design. Our expert building and interior designers deliver beautiful spaces while saving you time, money and hassle. We not only obtain the building permit for you; we go much further. Our firm also enthusiastically designs your kitchen and bathroom dreams. In addition, we recommend finishes, furniture, colours, and lighting to transform your residence into a striking family haven that everyone can enjoy and that will wow your visitors.

Developing the project brief

Your building designer Sydney wishes to understand your needs and how you want to use the new space. That’s why we will ask you many questions to fully understand what you aim to achieve. Before we put pencil to paper, we wish to learn more about how you and your family want to live. As an example, what your design preferences are and the budget you put aside. Subsequently, that information will feed into the development of your project brief. 

Building designer Sydney develops conceptual plans

After that, we create conceptual building design options that meet the requirements. This design stage includes drawings and sketches, as well as reviewing previous projects to provide a clear understanding of the scope of work. 

When renovating a building, we maintain continuity and connection with the existing structure. We aim to design buildings and interiors with good flow, style and, above all, excellent functionality.

Using floor plans and 3D illustrations, we will present the concept drawings to you. We describe your new home’s layout and flow and discuss your construction project in detail. Following this, we may refine the house design until you are fully satisfied with the final concept plan. 

3D building plans available

As a progressive building design firm in Sydney, we use one of the best CAD architectural software programs on the market. You can expect 2D and 3D plans that show the proposed space from every angle early in the process. As a matter of fact, you can virtually walk through your proposed space before any work has commenced. Computer-aided modelling and rendering will help you visualise your completed project. As a result, you gain confidence in our design and planning solutions because you can see and understand the full scope and impact of the proposed project. This enables you to make informed decisions with peace of mind.

Building designer with a network of building professionals

As your building designer in Sydney, we collaborate with an expert network of experienced builders, surveyors and structural engineers. We will request an estimate from our builders for your building design during the process. That said, we can also work with a builder of your choice to deliver the construction project. Our main objective is for you to feel comfortable working with the selected professionals throughout your home transformation journey.

Building permit for design implementation

When it comes to obtaining a building permit, your building designer Sydney takes charge of this step. Martina Hayes’s team will arrange a site survey on your property. Furthermore, we prepare the required plans and drawings and submit them to your local Council as a Development Application (DA) or, alternatively, to a private certifier for a Complying Development Certificate (CDC). The application for a DA or CDC may include the following:

• Site plan
• Floor plans
• Elevations
• Shadow plans
• Colour scheme
• Basix certificate

Your team of building designers and interior designers

But our work as building designers in Sydney doesn’t stop there. On the contrary, we go much further. Martina Hayes’ team designs your kitchen and bathrooms to ensure every space looks beautiful and consistent. Don’t forget to get some inspiration from our gallery of completed projects.

While Council or a private certifier assesses your house plans, our skilled interior designers will select stunning finishes. Not only do we recommend furniture and lighting to round out your individual design, but we also offer fabrics and colours. Once building approval is granted, we will guide you through the construction phase of your exciting house transformation.

Designing spaces that reflect a luxury lifestyle

If you enjoy a luxury lifestyle, you may choose to engage a luxury interior designer in Sydney to incorporate highly considered elements that elevate both comfort and experience. This can include the following.

• custom wine cellar
• acoustically optimised rooms
• advanced lighting design that enhances atmosphere and functionality
• Bespoke joinery
