A building designer is a professional who specialises in designing residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. 

Unlike architects, who often handle larger or more complex projects and are regulated differently, building designers focus on practical, cost-effective, and personalised solutions. 

They typically provide services such as drafting, planning, and overseeing the design process, often with a focus on sustainable and client-specific outcomes. Building designers can handle projects like new home designs, extensions, and renovations.

Designing a new home typically starts with an initial consultation to discuss ideas, needs, and budget. 

The designer will then create concept plans, including layouts and 3D visualisations. After feedback, the design is refined and detailed plans are prepared for approval. 

This process includes documentation for council submission, interior design elements, and material specifications. 

Finally, the design is handed over to the builder for construction.

Sustainable design focuses on using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and layouts that maximise natural light and ventilation. This approach reduces energy costs, lowers environmental impact, and creates healthier living spaces. 

Sustainable homes often have better insulation, lower utility bills, and increased resale value, making them an excellent long-term investment.
