Where to start when designing a House?

Welcome to our "Building Design Services" Blog where our aim is to help you gain a better understanding of the planning approval process.

We are based on the Central Coast, NSW, and help locals with the daunting task of preparing building plans & documentation to submit to the relevant Certifying Authority.

Start by looking at the Planning Controls: LEP & DCP

This will provide details such as permissible Building Heights, Floor Space Ratio, Setbacks, Building Envelope, Landscaped Area & Private Open Space requirements.

Next Consider some BASIX requirements

Orientate the common living spaces such as lounges & living rooms with large windows to be North facing and if possible, bathrooms with smaller windows to be West facing. Garages and Kitchens should ideally be located to the South or West if the Site allows.
