We coordinate the consultants your project needs across Tasmania, from engineers to surveyors, so the whole team works together and you are not left chasing anyone.
A single home can involve engineers, surveyors, soil testers, energy assessors and more, and most people are left to juggle them alone. Reports arrive late, information falls through the cracks and the project stalls while everyone waits on someone else. That coordination burden is exhausting and easy to get wrong.
We manage the consultants on your behalf, so you deal with us rather than a dozen separate parties. We brief them, chase their reports and make sure their input fits together into one coordinated set of plans. Nothing falls through the cracks because someone assumed it was another person’s job.
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.
Engineering, drainage, energy and site information all have to align, or problems surface later on site. We liaise with each consultant so their work is consistent with the design and with each other. You are kept informed at every stage, so you always know where things sit and what happens next.
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.
Most costly problems on site trace back to information that never got joined up. We coordinate the building services and consultant input early, so clashes are resolved on paper rather than during construction. That means documentation builders can price accurately and build from without argument.
We talk through your project and the consultants it needs before any work begins, so you understand what is involved and what it will cost. There are no hidden coordination fees appearing later. Our timeline and cost guarantees (terms and conditions apply) mean you can plan with certainty.
It depends on your project, but typically includes structural engineers, surveyors, soil and site testers, and energy assessors. We identify who your home needs early, brief them and manage their input into the design. As your point of consultant coordination in Tasmania, we keep the whole team aligned so the plans come together as one. You deal with us rather than juggling a dozen separate contacts.
No, that is exactly the burden we take off your plate. We coordinate the consultants and manage the flow of information, so you are not chasing reports or decoding technical requirements. Where you have preferred consultants already, we are happy to work with them. The goal is one coordinated process rather than a series of loose ends.
Delays often come from information sitting with one party while everyone else waits. We chase reports, resolve clashes early and keep each discipline working to the same design. That building design liaison keeps the project progressing on a timeline you can plan around. It is a large part of why our process avoids the endless waiting people dread.
Bring what you have about your site and your project, along with any consultants or reports already in place. Details about your budget and timeline help us plan the coordination sensibly. You do not need everything organised before you get in touch. Working through the details with you is part of what we do.
Sometimes engineering or site information does affect the design, and we manage that rather than letting it derail the project. We work the changes into the plans and tell you how they affect your timeline and cost before anything proceeds. Because we resolve these things on paper early, they cause far less disruption than they would on site. You stay informed and in control throughout.
Yes, we manage the consultant input right through documentation and the approval process. Their work is folded into the plans so your submission is complete and consistent. We keep you informed at every stage so you always know where things sit. The result is build ready plans that hold together across every discipline.
