House Design Solutions

Whilst looking for a family home we contacted Paul from House Design Solutions for some advice about a unit we were going to bid for at auction. It wasn’t big enough but we contacted House Design solutions about it’s potential for expansion. Paul took time to study the unit in question and in the end he advised us against buying as it would be too difficult to extend and would never fulfil our needs. The advice was appreciated and we respected Paul’s honesty given that he talked himself out of a job by being forthright and honest. House Design Solutions suggested we look for a Development Site and provided advice on what to look for. We found a few different options but one in particular was of interest and Paul strongly recommended we pursue it. They even suggested they would buy it if we didn’t. We purchased the site and after some hard work won approval for two houses utilising House Design Solution’s professional services. As we were reluctant to get over our heads in debt we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with the builder sacrificing one house in order to create our family home at virtually no further cost. This worked for us as we are very happy in our family home now without great overheads. We can recommend House Design Solutions to anybody thinking of designing or developing a house or units.

Paul from House Design Solutions was highly recommended to me by my Bricklaying and Building employer to help me with the design and plan of the extension of my house. I have had such an awesome experience with Paul and cannot recommend him highly enough. Being my first build as an owner builder and after dealing with a lot of different trades and designers you realise how switched on and thoughtful Paul really is. I was amazed at how accurate his plans were as my extension wasn’t straight forward. Whenever I was in doubt or confused about something I would have another look and read over Paul’s designs and things would fall in place again. Due to building on the boundary line and being on very steep hill my surveyor was a little worried about everything being passed. But due to Pauls experience and knowledge of the local council everything passed and nothing on his plans had to be changed. He was awesome with helping us redesign the house plan from our original idea to create more space and an overall better outcome. He has been very quick to respond to any questions I’ve had along the way, also to point me in the right direction if needed. I highly recommend Paul and the House Design Solution team for anyone looking to build or extend. Paul again I can’t thank you enough for all your work and help along the way.

Extending and Renovating can be a very stressful task no matter which way you decide to go whether through a builder or owner builder. When I decided that I was going to go down this path on my family home my main criteria was to engage a professional in design and advice in this field to minimize the stress. Paul Mete from House Design Solutions was the best choice I could of possibly made to guide me through this and I can honestly say that his experience and advice made my experience painless.Not only did he provide a great design solution for my home but also recommended a fantastic builder to carry out the extension which he completed in a short time period with absolute no fuss or drama. Paul is without a doubt a professional in this field and I highly recommend House Design Solutions for anything relating to Home Contruction. Thank you Paul for your professional guidance.

We engaged Paul to undertake the design of a 3 unit development. We actually interviewed 3 other designers however our decision was made easy. From the outset Paul was upfront with the process, the cost of not only his fees, but other fees that we would likely encounter along the way. This really helped with managing our budget. The design Paul produced exceed our expectations of the site and really brought our vision to life (with practical and intelligent input along the way). He worked closely with the Town Planner and is very knowledgeable on the legislative and council requirements. This made for a smooth transition from Sketch Design to Planning Approval and then Working Drawings. We highly recommend Housing Design Solutions to anyone who is looking to undertake an investment project, or building their dream home.
