Whether you’re looking to buy standard house and land packages in Brisbane or you’re researching townhouse designs… you need house plans and house designs to get the juices flowing and the inspiration going. It is what makes building a new home so exciting.

Whatever your preference, at the end of the day if you are serious about building you need to bring it all together into one cohesive package. We at Building Buddy have the tools and expertiese to do exactly this, providing you with the perfect Home Design and a Price that works.

What Our Clients Have to Say

We were very fortunate to have met Building Buddy who …went away and within a few days presented us with the most sensational design, even better than we envisaged at a price well within our budget.
Steve & Bylinda Trivett
We began, by spending week-ends touring around display homes. It was obvious that these sales people had little training or qualification…. Building Buddy quickly provided us with conceptional drawings, … and came up with what we wanted exactly.
Clive Hind
We wanted to undertake a Dual Occupancy DA on a difficult site. Six builders turned us down. … until Building Buddy … and we eventually had our DA … we are extremely pleased with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending Building Buddy.
Mark Reardon
It was the personal attention we got from Building Buddy that made us choose to go with them … We always found the service very professional, informative, attentive and friendly. We have no hesitation in recommending Building Buddy to anyone.
Adrian Webber
I would not hesitate to recommend Building Buddy for any building project, whether you really need all their skill or not. You can never know when specialist knowledge of an issue at hand will come in handy, as it did on ours.
Carmel Davy
Many company’s that we had researched wanted some sort of deposit up front, but with Building Buddy, I think we had mutual trust in each other that we were serious about our concepts, and with them behind the sketches and countless drawings, they made our dreams come true.
Mohammed & Salmeen Haq
Having a look on the internet for plans ...but we didn’t have much luck, we then came across building buddy ...I don’t know how but they just managed to nail everything we wanted in a design... It seemed like a very quick process, one minute we had a design, next minute we had the quote and the next minute we had builders.
Jim & Donna Smith
We had some Plans Drawn by another group, had difficulty getting anyone to quote on it and when we did the price seemed unrealistic to us... It really was that Building Buddy wanted to know how much to spend and design to that, rather than get plans drawn up and take it to the market and find out that is not near what you wanted it to cost.
Bernie and Marylin Smith
Going to a project home they only offer a certain amount of styles, I did like some of them but then I did have to change a number of things I didn’t like about them.After we got a price from building buddy I also then got a price from the project home builders of a house which was closest to our design. but with the changes we want it would cost at least 60k more… so we thought it would be better to go with Building Buddy.

Joh and his team at Building Buddy are really great. Very helpful and down to earth and I feel like my renovation/extension is in really good hands. Joh has been very patient as we've worked through the various stages of design and redesign, question after question after question... and we are almost there! Looking forward to kicking off the construction in the not too distant future! I highly recommend Joh and his team! Donna Hread more

We have almost completed our build of a complex 3 story home in Morningside on which Joh from Building Buddy did the design. Over the build quite a lot of variations happened and the team at Building Buddy were fantastic in sorting these. I have not been the easiest client and very demanding but all times if was shown total respect and all changes done without fuss. With the network of builders they have at hand we were linked up with Mick from Canetoad Constructions who is doing a professional and quality build. Been in the building game for many years and their process is straight forward and simple and very cost effective. I think when building a new home you firstly need to have an idea of what you want . Then get someone to put in a plan .Check what specs have been included . Then get someone to actually build it within your budget. Again Building Buddy a very professional and one stop shop to building your new home or any renovation on your existing home.read more

Here at SCM Projects we like to keep our clients happy so it's imperative that we deal with reliable honest contractors and, having worked in with Joh & the team at Building Buddy for some 7 years or more on several occasions we have found them to be very competent and professional. A very useful aspect of dealing with Building Buddy is that they have a very flexible design system that integrates well with up to date costings, enabling reasonably accurate costings to changes that inevitably occur during the design process.read more

Good drafting service. From start to finish changed our plans 22 times to meet our needs and just kept going. We didn't end up using his recommended builder but that builder seemed to be excellent also. If we needed a design again we would use building buddy.read more

We built 2 houses with them. Right from the start Joh worked with us to maximize the site so we got two fantastic designs on the 2 lots. All the little changes we made were no hassle to them and it was for a fixed reasonable price. Joh then went on and did a 20 or 30 page document specifying everything down to the last meter for no charge which meant we and the builder knew precisely what to expect. The houses were then very well built by a great friendly builder and his team.read more
