Merge Building

After your consultation comes the planning, the stage where we turn ideas into detailed, documented plans that are builder-quote ready. A builder-led approach that keeps your budget in check every step of the way. A standalone service where you own the documents you’ve paid for.

Concept plans don’t mean much if you can’t afford to build them.

That’s why I always recommend starting with a ballpark figure from someone who’s built it before, not after the design is done.

It’s not about killing the dream. It’s about making sure the dream is actually buildable.

There’s no right or wrong choice when it comes to who you speak to first – whether it’s an interior designer, drafty, or builder.
What matters most is that whoever you work with takes your budget seriously from the start and designs to it, not past it.

Final consultation dates are now available ✨

Just 12 spots remain between now and February 2026.
If you’ve been waiting to start your new build or renovation journey, this is your chance to book in.

Once they’re gone, that’s it.

As a carpenter and builder, nothing frustrates me more than seeing unsafe cutting methods.

I lived through this as an apprentice – exposed to asbestos and silica dust without protection, and I won’t stand by and watch it happen again.

Recently, I have witnessed a site next door cutting fibre cement boards with no dust extraction and no ppe

My freshly finished deck? Covered and stained in silica dust.

I called the supervisor – the chippy stopped work and left. 2 days later, they were back at it. Same set up, same risks.

I’ve since lodged complaints with WorkSafe and council and spoke directly with the building company.

They assured me they’d purchased proper dust control equipment – but on site, it wasn’t being used.
Silica dust is a killer. We know better. There is no excuse.

 

Limited consultation dates for November and December are being released this week. Once they’re booked, that’s it until February. If you are planning a late 2026/2027 renovation or new build, this is your chance to get started before the New Year!
