Plans & Advocacy
Building a home isn't just about getting the design right. It's about managing contractors, getting Council approval and making sure your home adheres to all local council building codes and requirements.
​
We handle all the documentation and communications with Council on your behalf so you don't have to try and figure it out on your own or worry about anything.
​
To this end, we prepare all the plans and documents you'll need to submit your application for approval, and can help manage the whole project from start to finish.

​
We handle all aspects of managing your new build or renovation project so it runs as smoothly as possible.
Sustainable home designs
Sustainable design is an intrinsic element in all of our homes.
The basics of orienting living spaces to the north, creating cross ventilation patterns, protecting windows and doors from summer sun, and many other standard design practices, are absolute requirements. Immersing these considerations in the design results in the home performing beautifully, with no additional construction cost required.
Sustainability
We are an Accredited Green Smart Design Firm and instinctively incorporate the principles of sustainability in all of our projects.
Seaside Homes will incorporate in your design solar passive design principles like the following, to create a beautiful and sustainable home:
-
Ideal positioning of the residence on the site
-
Creation of cross ventilation patterns
-
Maximising of thermal mass opportunities
-
Protection of glazing units from summer sun, whilst allowing winter access
-
Optimum specification of insulation
