SERVICES
BUILDING DESIGN
At GM Building Design, we specialise in the design of residential developments ranging from single dwellings through to multi-unit developments, townhouse projects and childcare centres. Every project is approached with a focus on achieving the best outcome for the site while balancing design, functionality, planning requirements and construction efficiency.
Our building design service begins with understanding your goals and assessing the opportunities and constraints of your site. We can provide preliminary site assessments to determine whether a property may be suitable for subdivision, multi-unit development, backyard development or future investment opportunities. We also offer pre-purchase development assessments, helping buyers understand the development potential of a property before committing to a purchase.
As a fully licensed Building Designer, we have the experience and qualifications to deliver projects ranging from simple residential additions through to more complex developments. Our designs are tailored to maximise site potential while creating attractive, functional and compliant outcomes that meet both client objectives and council requirements.
SITE ASSESSMENTS
Before purchasing or developing a property, understanding its development potential is critical. We provide preliminary site assessments and feasibility studies to determine whether a site may be suitable for subdivision, multi-unit development, dual occupancy projects, backyard developments or other residential opportunities. Our assessments help clients make informed decisions and identify potential planning constraints early, reducing risk and avoiding costly mistakes.
PLANNING PERMITS
Navigating the planning permit process can be complex and time-consuming. GM Building Design provides professional planning permit services for residential developments including single dwellings, dual occupancies, multi-unit developments, townhouse projects aswell as childcare centres and residential subdivisions.
We prepare and coordinate all documentation required for planning permit applications, ensuring proposals are presented clearly and professionally to maximise the likelihood of approval. Our understanding of local planning schemes, overlays and council requirements allows us to identify potential issues early and develop solutions before they become costly delays.
From initial feasibility assessments through to permit approval, we work closely with councils, consultants and clients to streamline the process and keep projects moving forward.
Whether you are looking to develop your backyard, subdivide land or undertake a larger residential development, we can guide you through every stage of the planning process.
SUBDIVISION
Unlock the potential of your property through professional subdivision design and permit services. GM Building Design specialises in backyard subdivisions, dual occupancy projects and residential land developments, helping property owners maximise the value of their land.
We begin by assessing the site’s development potential and identifying opportunities for subdivision while considering planning controls, access requirements, services and future development outcomes. Our subdivision services include preliminary feasibility assessments, concept designs, subdivision permit applications and coordination with surveyors and other consultants where required.
Whether you are considering creating an additional lot in your backyard, subdividing a development site or planning a multi-lot residential project, we provide practical advice and tailored solutions to help achieve the best possible outcome. Early site assessments can save significant time and expense by identifying development opportunities and constraints before proceeding further.
WORKING DRAWINGS (DRAFTING)
Accurate and detailed working drawings are essential for obtaining building permits and ensuring successful project delivery. GM Building Design prepares comprehensive construction documentation for residential projects ranging from single dwellings and extensions through to multi-unit developments and childcare centres.
Our working drawing packages are prepared to industry standards and include all information necessary for building permit applications, engineering coordination and construction. We focus on producing clear, practical and buildable documentation that minimises confusion during construction and helps builders deliver projects efficiently.
With experience across a wide range of residential developments, we understand the level of detail required to support both straightforward and more complex projects. Our goal is to provide documentation that gives clients, builders and consultants confidence throughout the construction process while ensuring compliance with relevant building regulations and standards.
