We create luxury home designs across Tasmania that bring refined detail, comfort and everyday liveability together in one home.
A high end home carries high expectations, and the gap between the vision and the real cost can be daunting. Many owners fear the finish and detailing they want will spiral beyond what they planned. Without early cost certainty, it is hard to commit to a home at this level with confidence.
We design luxury homes that deliver the detail and quality you want, shaped around a budget you understand from the start. Every element is considered, from the flow of the spaces to the finish of each room. You get an elegant, tailored home without the cost uncertainty that so often comes with it.
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.
We take your luxury home design all the way through to build ready plans. Then we help you engage the right builder, with documentation clear enough for accurate and comparable pricing. That matters most at this level, where the finish is everything and vague plans get expensive fast.
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.
From the first concept through to approved plans, you deal with one team who know your home inside out. We manage the design, the documentation and the approvals, so the detail of a high end home is never lost. You always know where your project sits, what happens next and who is handling it.
A luxury home is a significant investment, so you deserve to see the numbers early rather than at the end. We provide construction estimates as part of your documentation, which means no nasty surprises once you commit. You know the cost, approve the design and move ahead with a plan you can trust.
Every project moves at its own pace, but our process is built to keep luxury home designs progressing steadily. We give you a realistic timeline at the start and keep you updated as your design and approvals move forward. A high end home involves more detail and more decisions, so we plan for that from day one. You will always know what stage you are at and what comes next.
Yes, and designing to your budget is exactly how we keep a high end home under control. We shape your luxury home design around what you can genuinely spend, from the layout through to the detailing. Our construction estimates give you clear costs before you commit to anything. That way quality and budget work together rather than against each other.
To begin, we need a sense of the home you want, your block if you have one and your budget. Sharing images of the luxury homes and finishes you love helps us understand the detail that matters to you. From there we develop a design that suits your site and the way you want to live. We will ask the right questions along the way, so nothing important is missed.
Absolutely, refining the design together is a normal part of the process, especially at this level. The detailing makes all the difference in a luxury home, so we take the time to get it right with you. We talk through how any change affects your budget and timeline before we proceed. You stay in control of every decision from first sketch to build ready plans.
Yes, custom features and premium finishes are central to what a luxury home is about. We plan for them early so they are properly documented and accurately costed, not added as expensive afterthoughts. Our documentation gives your builder the clarity needed to deliver the finish you expect. We will also advise honestly on where your budget delivers the most impact.
You receive build ready plans and the documentation needed to engage the right builder with confidence. Your luxury home design will have been shaped to your budget, approved and fully documented. We also support you through builder selection so the pricing you receive is accurate and comparable. From there you move into construction knowing your timeline and your costs.
