What we build
One team from the first site visit to the keys. We do the specialist renovation and extension work other builders pass on.
Renovations
Our speciality. Kitchens, bathrooms, structural changes and full refurbishments in lived-in homes.
Extensions
Additions that tie in properly with the existing house: subfloor, frame, roof and finish.
Commercial
Shopfronts, cladding, fit-outs and amenities for retail, hospitality and offices.
Earthworks
Our own 1.7t and 5.7t excavators and tipper for site cuts, trenching and footings.
Carpentry
Framing, subfloors, decks, roof re-battens and fix-out, done to spec and inspected right.
Project management
Scheduling trades, approvals and inspections so the job runs to program.
Design
Kitchens, bathrooms, decks and fit-outs designed in-house by DESIGNS+, ready to build.
Design studio

DESIGNS+ · 3D design
See it before it's built
Every DESIGNS+ bathroom starts as a 3D design, so you can walk through the room, check the layout and lock in your selections before a tile is ordered. Here's one of our bathrooms: the 3D design matched shot-for-shot with the finished room, plus what goes in behind the walls.
- 01Walk through the room in 3D with your vanity, tiles, mirror, shower and bath in place
- 02Frame, plumbing and electrical set out before the walls are lined, with waterproofing documented for every trade
- 03Built by Cowen Built to match the design
