    Put the current idea/design up on this page, gather all the genius ideas, pay for a cheap drafty to put it in the computer, profit.

    Yes

    I just got Mark Anthonys quote $7810, its a goer, for some reason I thought it was going to be much more costly

    This guy is brilliant designer, he will be doing everything that involves design and getting approval from council, City of Melville

    I really like his taste too! He had a display home in Landsdale a few years ago. He has expensive taste for finishes and wow factor. Nice guy.

    He also can recommend builders.

    Smaller builders may finish builds in shorter time frame

    Its all money, holding costs. $$

    yes

    its easier to get DA over the line and not as costly as Melb. In Melb I paid over $20k for this service and much harder dealing with councils in Melb

    Perth a different beast

    Nice price - I like his designs - does that include working drawings or would you get the builder to do that?.

    Would you use Joe German again?

    Adam Butcher at Darklight Design. I know some people who have used him but I haven't yet - but probably will this year

    Yes includes working drawings

    Joe Germano is a good designer, he would probably be cheaper but he has too much going on so there were delays in getting drawings finalised

    I prefer Mark Anthony, a bonus I can walk to his office its so close

    yeah we easily pay three times this much down here. All the best with your DA. Keep us posted when this is completed please. It's always so inspiring to hear your successful stories.

    Who do you use in Melbourne?

    I shopped around in Melbourne and eventually found a guy that cost $7500 for drawing originally but I had to pay an extra $2300 for redesigns during the building process as we changed our minds on things. He was a little scattered at times but he came through.

    That's a pretty good price considering yours are larger than the average 3 x 2 and that includes full height tiling. Do you have retaining on your site?

    very little retaining
    Unfortunate 2 big trees on site, I would say at least $2,000 per tree to remove..... damn those trees
