Design and build on the Central Coast
Your builder involved from the first sketch, so the design is priced while it can still change.
Your builder at the table from day one
Plenty of home designs never get built, because nobody priced them until the drawings were finished. Design and build fixes that by bringing the builder in at the start.
Dylan works with the building designer through the concept, the full drawing set and your selections, checking buildability and cost at each step. At Berowra, that meant a two-bedroom extension and a self-contained granny flat, designed and built under one roofline.
It suits custom homes, major renovations, extensions, knock-down rebuilds and granny flats.

Do I need my own architect?
