We create floor plans across Tasmania that suit how you live, your block and the budget you have to work with.
A poor floor plan makes daily life harder, with wasted space, awkward flow and rooms that never quite work. Many people fall for a plan online, only to find it does not suit their block or their family. Living with the wrong layout for years is a costly mistake that is easy to make.
We design floor plans around your daily routines, your block and your budget from the very first sketch. Whether you want a single level home or something larger, every room earns its place. You get a layout that flows naturally and genuinely suits the way you live.
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.
A plan that looks great on paper can fail once it lands on your actual block. We shape every floor plan around your site, its aspect, its slope and its outlook. That means better light, smarter flow and a home that suits the land it sits on.
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.
Whether your home works best on one level or across two, we design the layout to suit. Multi storey house plans can unlock space, views and privacy when they are planned properly from the start. We help you weigh up the options and choose the layout that fits your block and your life.
Your floor plan drives what your home costs to build, so we keep pricing clear from the outset. We design to your budget and provide construction estimates as part of your documentation, with no hidden extras. You know the cost, approve the plan and move ahead with confidence.
Every project moves at its own pace, but our process is built to keep your floor plans progressing steadily. We give you a realistic timeline at the start and keep you updated as your design and approvals move forward. Getting a layout right takes a few refinements, so we plan for that from day one. You will always know what stage you are at and what comes next.
Having your block helps, since we shape every layout around the site, its slope and its aspect. If you have not settled on land yet, we can still explore house plans that suit how you want to live. We often help owners see how different floor plans would work on different blocks. Either way, we will guide you on the best order to tackle things.
Yes, we often start from a layout a client has found and shape it to suit their block, their family and their budget. Rather than forcing a template onto your site, we adjust and refine it so it truly fits. This keeps the parts you love while fixing the parts that would not work. You end up with a floor plan that is genuinely yours.
Refining the floor plan together is a normal and expected part of the process. We talk through how any change affects your budget and your timeline before we proceed. Because we design to your budget from the outset, adjustments rarely come as a shock. You stay in control of every decision until the layout feels right.
Your floor plan is one of the biggest drivers of build cost, so we design to your budget from the first sketch. Our construction estimates give you clear costs on your house plans before you commit. This is the step most of the industry skips, and it is where the stress usually comes from. You move forward knowing the layout and the cost genuinely match.
You receive build ready floor plans and the documentation needed to engage the right builder with confidence. Your plans will be clear enough for accurate and comparable pricing. We also support you through builder selection, and if something needs solving, we solve it. From there you move into construction knowing your timeline and your costs.
