We create single storey home designs across Tasmania that suit how you want to live and what you can actually spend, then guide you through approvals to build ready plans without the stress.
A single storey home should be the easy choice, until the design comes back over budget and the approvals start to drag. You are left chasing updates, unsure what anything costs or when you can finally start building. It is a lot to carry when all you wanted was a home that works on one level.
We design your single storey house plans around your block, your budget and the way you live day to day. You watch the design take shape and refine it with us until the flow feels right. Nothing gets drawn that pricing will later take away from you.
We had no idea where to start with our new home and Strait Design made the whole thing feel simple. They designed to our budget from day one and kept us informed the whole way through. Could not fault them.
After a bad experience elsewhere we were nervous, but this team told us the truth about timelines and cost upfront. No surprises and no excuses. Our plans were build ready exactly when they said they would be.
The approvals process terrified us but Strait Design handled all the council side so we did not have to. Everything was explained in plain English and we always knew what was happening next. Brilliant service.
We wanted a double storey family home and were worried about blowing the budget. They shaped the design around what we could actually spend and it still turned out beautiful. Would recommend to anyone building.
As a small developer I needed speed through approvals and accurate early costing. Strait Design delivered both. The documentation was clear enough for builders to price it properly the first time around.
What stood out was the communication. We never had to chase for updates because they always let us know where things sat. Dealing with one team from start to finish made the whole process so much easier.
Over 35 years of experience really shows. They picked up issues early that we never would have and saved us money down the track. It genuinely felt like they had our best interests at heart the entire time.
We are first home builders and had a hundred questions. The team was patient, down to earth and never once made us feel silly for asking. Our build ready plans came through exactly as promised. Thank you.
From the first call to the finished plans the experience was exactly what they said it would be. Trade qualified people who actually know planning and building inside out. Honestly worth every single cent.
Once your single storey house design is settled, we prepare the documentation and manage the planning and building approvals for you. You are kept informed at every stage, so you always know where things sit and what happens next. You never have to decode council requirements on your own.
Your design is reviewed by people who build homes for a living. Get practical input on structure, materials, thermal performance and cost before decisions are locked in.
Stage one finishes with a Project Budget Alignment Estimate based on real project data and current construction rates, so you can check the design against your budget before it goes to council.
Your design fees, consultant allowances and council costs are set out upfront. We explain provisional costs and discuss any additional requirements with you before proceeding.
We guide your selections and document them in your construction drawings, giving builders a clear basis to price the fixtures, fittings and finishes you want.
We coordinate surveyors, engineers, energy assessors, your building surveyor, council and TasWater where required, keeping your pre-construction work moving through one team.
Regular, clear updates explain where your project is at, what comes next and anything we need from you, so you can make decisions with confidence.
Your plans are documented clearly enough for single storey home builders to price them accurately and on the same basis. That means quotes you can genuinely compare, rather than figures that leave you guessing. We help you engage the right builder, so you start construction knowing exactly where you stand.
We talk through your budget before any design work begins, so you know what your single storey house design will cost and what you are getting. Construction estimates are prepared alongside your approvals. Our timeline and cost guarantees (terms and conditions apply) mean you can plan your life with certainty.
Every single storey home is different, so timing depends on the size of the design, your site and what council requires. We give you a clear timeline at the start, before any work begins. Our process is built to keep your single storey house plans moving through design, documentation and approvals without long stalls. We back that timeline with a guarantee, and terms and conditions apply.
It helps to have your block secured, because the site shapes so much of a good single storey home design. A single level home also relies on a block that suits it, so falls, access and orientation all matter. If you are still choosing between blocks, talk to us early and we will help you think it through. Either way, we will be clear about what can progress now and what needs to wait.
Bring your budget, any details you have about your site and a sense of how you want to live on one level. Photos, sketches or examples of single storey homes in Tasmania that you like are helpful too. You do not need everything worked out before you get in touch. Working through the details with you is part of what we do.
Changes are a normal part of designing a single storey home, and we refine the design with you until it feels right. The best time to make changes is during the design stage, before documentation and approvals begin. If you want to change something later, we will tell you how it affects your timeline and cost before anything happens. You stay in control of every decision.
Your single storey house design should suit how you live and sit within what you can actually spend. You will have approved, build ready plans and construction estimates that reflect your budget. Builders should be able to price your plans accurately and on the same basis. Most of all, the experience should be exactly what we said it would be.
Yes, we help you engage the right builder once your plans are build ready. Your documentation is prepared so single storey home builders in Tasmania can give you accurate, comparable pricing. We can help you work through the quotes so you understand how they compare. You are not left on your own at the moment it matters most.
