Design, materials and trades — under one roof

Design My House was set up to remove the biggest frustration people face when building: dealing with a designer, a material supplier and a set of contractors who never talk to each other. We do all three, so one team carries a project from the first sketch to the finished house.

What we do

We draw architectural designs — floor plans, elevations, 3D views and the structural drawings a contractor actually builds from. We supply the materials that go into the building. And we put trained trades on site to do the work.

Those three things are usually bought from three different places, which is where most of the delay and most of the finger-pointing comes from. Handling all three means the drawing, the material and the labour are answerable to the same team.

How we work

Every project starts with a conversation and a set of plot dimensions. From there we produce a concept, revise it with you until it is right, and only then price the work. You receive an itemised quotation before anything begins, and nothing proceeds until you have accepted it in writing.

Once work starts, your reference number gives you a tracking page. Each stage is marked off as it completes, so you can see where things stand without having to call and ask.
