Design Is Everything – Because These Are The Decisions You’ll Love (Or Regret) Every Day

Every exceptional home begins with thoughtful design. But not just any design -- one that delivers everything you want (and more) while respecting your budget.
Sounds simple enough, right? Yet if you're like most people planning to build, you might be feeling overwhelmed by all the choices ahead. And worried you’ll make costly design mistakes you’ll regret. Perhaps you're wondering:

  • What's truly possible within your budget
  • Whether your ideas will work in reality
  • How to be sure you'll love the final result
  • These are natural concerns. After all, your home's design affects everything -- from how comfortable you feel in each room to how your family interacts every day. Get it right, and your home enhances your lifestyle for years to come. Get it wrong, and you're stuck with compromises that cause frustration.That's why the right approach to design makes all the difference. And why choosing the right partner for this crucial first step matters more than you might think.

Why Most “Designer” Builders Aren’t Really Designers At All

Many people seek help from so-called designer builders, hoping for a truly custom home. Unfortunately, most deliver something far less inspiring. Here's what typically happens: They start with a generic plan -- one that looks suspiciously like every other project home in Perth. Then they try to modify it to meet your needs. The result? An architectural Frankenstein that cobbles together elements never meant to work as one. Think awkward flow, wasted space, and those frustrating transitional areas -- hallways that lead nowhere, corners that serve no purpose, and rooms that just don't quite work together. Your dream of a custom home becomes a compromise of convenience.

What About Architects? Here's Why They Sometimes Create More Problems Than Solutions

Perhaps you're thinking an architect is the answer? While architects can create beautiful designs, they often present two significant challenges:

Firstly: they'll add 10-15% to your building costs -- a premium you’re happy to pay if their design gives you what you want at a price you can afford. But at $100,000 or more on an $800,000 home, there fee is too often just an extra expense that erodes your purchasing power. 
Secondly: too many architect-designed homes (80% in fact) never make it past the planning stage because they simply cost too much to build.

Why? Because architects tend to focus on design, with little consideration for construction costs or practical buildability. While initially excited by their designs, many people feel deflated when construction quotes come in tens (or even hundreds) of thousands over budget.

Even With Architectural Plans, You're Still Too Often Left In The Dark

Even if you manage to get plans that seem to fit your budget, there's another major challenge: visualising how your home will actually look and feel when built.Traditional 2D house plans might work for builders, but for most people, they're about as helpful as trying to navigate Perth using a medieval map.Consider these common challenges:

  • Room Dimensions Feel Like Abstract Numbers


    Room Dimensions Feel Like Abstract Numbers

  • Flow Between Spaces Remains A Mystery

    How will one room transition to the next? Where might space be wasted in hallways and corners?
    How will noise travel in open-plan areas? These crucial
    details are nearly impossible to grasp from flat drawings.

    At Tenfold Homes, we understand you're not just our client -- you're a family living through construction. Our team (and all our trades) are respectful of your home and your privacy. We'll make things as convenient and comfortable as possible, keeping your living areas separate from construction zones and maintaining clean, safe workspaces throughout the project.

  • Natural Elements Are Left To Chance

    How will sunlight affect each room throughout the day? Which spaces might trap heat from that harsh western sun? Where might you need extra privacy from neighbours? Traditional plans leave you guessing about these vital lifestyle factors.

  • Material Selections Become A Gamble

    What will different cladding options actually look like? How will your chosen colours work together? What impact will various rooflines have on street appeal? Without proper visualisation, these decisions often lead to expensive regrets.

The Result? Many homeowners find themselves second-guessing every decision, lacking confidence in their choices, and ultimately feeling anxious about how their home will turn out. Some even end up with finished homes that don't match their vision at all -- discovering too late that changes are either impossible or impractically expensive to make.

The Solution: Expert Design + Advanced 3D Technology + Practical Building Knowledge

At Tenfold Homes, we've developed a better approach -- one that combines the right designer, the latest 3D visualisation tools, and practical building expertise to create homes you'll love for life. Here's how we make it happen:

The Perfect Designer For Your Vision

Unlike most builders who assign you their one-size-fits-all designer (or whoever happens to be available), we carefully match you with the ideal designer for your project. We work with four specialised designers, each bringing unique expertise:
  • - Rural property specialists who understand BAL ratings and country living
  • - Inner-city experts who maximise space and urban aesthetics
  • - Small lot specialists who create flowing, functional homes on challenging blocks
  • - Luxury home designers who craft distinctive, high-end residences
This means your home benefits from deep expertise in exactly the type of design you need. Your designer will not only understand your vision but enhance it -- asking thoughtful questions that help clarify and refine your ideas, often revealing possibilities you hadn't considered.

Advanced 3D Visualisation That Eliminates Guesswork

This is where your design truly comes to life. Our sophisticated 3D rendering technology lets you:

  • - Walk through every room before it's built
  • - See exactly how your furniture will fit
  • - Experience how spaces flow together
  • - View your home from every angle, inside and out
  • - Test different material and colour combinations

Struggling to envision a particular room? We can even create detailed 3D renders with your exact selections -- from flooring to fixtures -- so you see precisely what you'll get. No more uncertainty. No more costly surprises.

Practical Building Expertise That Saves You Time and Money

Our building team works alongside your designer from day one,
offering insights that can:

  • - Save you tens of thousands in construction costs
  • - Reduce build time by months
  • - Improve comfort and functionality
  • - Maximise natural light and airflow
  • - Future-proof your home for changing needs

We'll help optimise every detail -- from window placement to ceiling heights -- ensuring your design isn't just beautiful but practical to build and delightful to live in.

Transparent Pricing That Gives You Complete Confidence

Here's an uncomfortable truth: Most builders provide vague quotes filled with "provisional sums" -- essentially placeholder prices that almost always increase once you start making selections. Add in the hidden costs they conveniently forget to mention (like fencing, landscaping, driveways, and flyscreens), and your dream home can end up costing tens of thousands more than expected.

We take a radically different approach:

  • - Detailed 30-page quotes that specify every inclusion
  • - Clear explanation of all costs -- nothing hidden, nothing forgotten
  • - Two-hour personal walkthrough of every line item
  • - Fixed pricing that stays fixed
  • - Real costs for your actual selections -- not minimum allowances

The result? Complete confidence in your budget from day one.
