When you’re planning a custom home or major home extension in Perth, one decision shapes every other — who you invite to guide the design. Starting with an architect alone can feel natural, yet jumping into plans without a builder’s cost and site insight is one of the most expensive missteps we see. Beautiful drawings often crumble once real-world pricing, siteworks and buildability hit the table.
A Design-and-Build Partnership — the Tenfold Way
At Tenfold Homes, we combine custom home design with proven construction systems so design and build move together, not in silos. Our network of trusted Perth designers, engineers and energy assessors works side-by-side with our construction team from day one, giving you:
- Fixed-price home construction clarity early
- Seamless council and engineering approvals
- A single, accountable team all the way to hand-over
Whether you’re dreaming of a multi-generational home in Victoria Park, an energy-efficient coastal build or a luxury knockdown-rebuild Perth project, our model protects budget, schedule and vision.
How the Tenfold Design-&-Build Model Works
- Early Budget Alignment: We set realistic allowances, then use live market data to refine costs as your custom home design evolves.
- Site-Specific Build Advice: From slope to BAL ratings, the Tenfold team will provide the designers with targeted guidance before the plans are finalised.
- Real-Time Pricing Feedback: Thinking raked ceilings or full-height glazing? We price options immediately so you can adjust not re-draw later.
- Constructability & Scheduling Reviews: Our supervisors flag things like material lead times, crane access and structural efficiencies that keep your build on track.
- Prioritise What Matters: We help families decide where to invest, whether that’s passive-solar glazing, a separate wing for ageing parents or a games room for growing kids, without over-engineering or overspending.
Why it Matters to You – Five Big Benefits for Perth Families
- Accurate Cost Planning: Live pricing plus our detailed 30-page building quotes mean no nasty budget shocks down the road.
- Designs That Get Built: Ideas are vetted by the same building team that will pour the slab — so every detail is practical and code-compliant.
- Faster, Cleaner Approvals: Designer and builder coordinate engineering, energy and shire paperwork in parallel, shaving weeks off approvals.
- One Team, Zero Blame: With a single contract, you avoid the “architect vs. builder” finger-pointing that delays many Perth building projects.
- Long-Term Liveability: We future-proof layouts for family-friendly living — from flexible zones to sustainable materials that cut running costs.
