House Plans & Price Estimates
Design, Price & Build in one Easy Process - Your Plan or Ours
We came to you with some basic criteria, a basic outline of what we wanted in terms of street appeal and a budget and I Think it's fair to say and it's been a while now that within a very short space of time you were able to come back to us with a concept that was presented in a manner that really appealed to us. It was a little overwhelming to be honest to think thatwe could take our ideas and within a short space of time you could present a very I think complex drawing to us that was very close to what we wanted.

Our simple free concept plans and price estimates takes away the worry of wasting time and money.
Finding the right house plan can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
You search through project home design catalogues, until you find something close to what you want. You trudge off to the display home to see what you probably won’t be getting … It’s all decked out in an artful deception that costs well beyond what most people would consider spending
Getting the right home, when you have a building site that is outside the “norm”, can be excruciating
Unless you have a flat, reasonably sized rectangular building site, you seem to only attract negative, sad news.
1. Site costs will hurt
2. Amending the ‘standard’ plan to suit is too difficult.
3. You need astronomically priced retaining walls.
4. The driveway is too steep … and on and on.
So, you must take a leap in the dark, and spend money just to find out what your options are.
Even then, after you pay your preliminary deposit, you have that uneasy feeling you are being manipulated into investing your precious time and money. That you are being set up for escalating building costs.

"We wanted to undertake a Dual Occupancy DA on a hard site. Six builders turned us down. ... until Building Buddy who provided free house plans ... and we eventually had our DA ... we are extremely happy with the outcome and have no hesitation in recommending Building Buddy"
Mark Reardon - Capalaba
"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, and we love our home design. We have no hesitation in recommending Building Buddy to anyone."
Adrienne Weber - Redcliffe
"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."
