New & Renovations, Commercial & Residential
BUILDING DESIGN SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO YOUR PROJECT
Every project starts with a vision, but turning that vision into a practical, buildable outcome requires experience, planning, and attention to detail.
At North Coast Design, we work with homeowners, owner-builders, developers, and businesses to create spaces that balance functionality, aesthetics, compliance, and long-term value. Rather than relying on standard layouts or one-size-fits-all designs, we tailor every project to the site, the people using it, and the goals behind it.
If you're building a family home, upgrading your existing property, planning ancillary accommodation, or preparing a commercial development, our team provides the guidance and documentation needed to help move your project forward with confidence.
What Can We Help You Design?
Designing a new home is an opportunity to create a space that works for your lifestyle today and into the future.
We design custom homes tailored to your block, budget, family requirements, and personal preferences. From narrow lots and corner blocks through to larger family homes and canal-front properties, every design is developed to make the most of the available space while considering natural light, privacy, functionality, and long-term liveability.
A well-planned renovation can completely transform the way you use your home.
Whether you're opening up living areas, extending your floor space, adding a second storey, or modernising an outdated layout, our team develops renovation solutions that integrate seamlessly with the existing structure while improving functionality and value.
We focus on practical improvements that help homeowners maximise the potential of their property without compromising comfort or character.
Granny flats continue to grow in popularity throughout Western Australia as families look for flexible living arrangements and additional usable space.
We design ancillary accommodation for a wide range of purposes, including housing family members, creating guest accommodation, developing independent living spaces, or establishing dedicated home offices and studios.
Every design is customised to suit the property, intended use, and planning requirements while making efficient use of the available footprint.
Commercial projects require a balance between functionality, compliance, operational efficiency, and long-term practicality.
North Coast Design provides building design services for a variety of commercial developments, including childcare facilities, offices, commercial premises, community buildings, and specialised projects.
Our team works closely with clients to create designs that support operational requirements while meeting planning and documentation requirements.
Successful projects require more than concept drawings.
Many developments need engineering input, supporting documentation, technical assessments, and detailed construction drawings before approvals and construction can proceed.
We assist with coordinating structural engineering requirements and preparing the documentation required to help builders, consultants, and approval authorities understand the project clearly and accurately.
Planning requirements can often be one of the most challenging parts of a project.
Our team assists with development applications, planning submissions, supporting reports, consultant coordination, and approval documentation to help simplify the process.
By addressing approval requirements early, we help reduce delays and create a smoother pathway towards construction.

WHY HOMEOWNERS, OWNER-BUILDERS & DEVELOPERS CHOOSE NORTH COAST DESIGN
Choosing the right building designer is about more than finding someone to prepare plans. You need a team that understands the bigger picture from site constraints and planning requirements through to documentation, approvals, and construction readiness.
At North Coast Design, we help simplify the process by providing practical advice, clear communication, and tailored design solutions that align with your project goals.
Family-Owned & Locally Based
As a family-owned business based in Mandurah, we understand the local communities, building requirements, and property trends that influence projects throughout Mandurah, Perth, and Western Australia.
Our clients work directly with a team that genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcome for every project.
Tailored Design Solutions
No two clients are the same, and neither are their projects.
Rather than adapting standard plans, we develop designs that respond to:
-
Your lifestyle
-
Your budget
-
Your site conditions
-
Your future plans
-
Your project goals
Every design is created with practicality, functionality, and long-term value in mind.
More Than Just Drafting
Many people assume building design is simply preparing drawings.
In reality, successful projects often require coordination between multiple stakeholders, consultants, approval authorities, and technical requirements.
Our team can assist with:
-
Concept Design
-
Detailed Drafting
-
Council Approvals
-
Consultant Coordination
-
Structural Engineering Support
-
Development Documentation
This creates a more streamlined experience and reduces the need to manage multiple providers independently.

This includes:
-
Custom Homes
-
Renovations & Additions
-
Granny Flats
-
Multi-Dwelling Developments

Specialist Development Applications
This diverse experience allows us to bring practical knowledge and problem-solving skills to every project.
OUR PROCESS
Every successful project follows a clear pathway.
Our process is designed to provide clarity, minimise uncertainty, and help move your project from idea to construction-ready documentation.
Step 1
Consultation & Discovery
We start by understanding your goals, ideas, budget, site conditions, and project requirements.
This helps establish a clear direction before design work begins.
Step 2
Concept Design
Our team develops initial concepts and layouts based on your brief.
This stage focuses on functionality, site responsiveness, and creating a design that aligns with your vision.
Step 3
Design Refinement
We work collaboratively with you to refine layouts, review design options, and finalise the overall direction of the project.
This ensures the design balances aesthetics, practicality, and compliance requirements.
Step 4
Documentation & Technical Coordination
Once the design is approved, detailed drawings and supporting documentation are prepared.
Where required, we can also coordinate engineering and specialist consultant requirements to support approvals and construction.
Step 5
Approvals & Construction Preparation
We assist with approval documentation and help prepare the information required for builder pricing and construction.
The result is a clear set of plans designed to help move your project forward efficiently and confidently.
DESIGNING FOR MANDURAH, PERTH & WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Every region presents unique design challenges.
A home designed for a narrow suburban lot will have different requirements to a canal-front property, a sloping block, or a commercial development.
That's why local knowledge matters.
We Understand Local Conditions
Our team regularly works on projects that require consideration of:
-
Coastal environments
-
Canal-front properties
-
Narrow lots
-
Corner blocks
-
Sloping sites
-
Infill developments
-
Residential Design Codes (R-Codes)
-
Local council planning requirements
By understanding these factors early, we can develop designs that maximise the opportunities of the site while reducing potential issues later in the process.
Practical Design for Everyday Living
Great design isn't simply about appearance.
It's about creating spaces that function well every day.
We focus on:
-
Natural light
-
Ventilation
-
Privacy
-
Storage
-
Indoor-outdoor connection
-
Future flexibility
-
Site efficiency
-
Long-term liveability
The result is a design that not only looks good but also works well for years to come.
