Designer Planning

Designer Planning is a Brisbane building design and drafting practice based in Albion. Its work includes new homes, house raising, renovations, extensions, granny flats and commercial projects. These project types often require more than a floor plan, so the practice connects spatial design with planning requirements, site constraints and the information needed for approvals and construction.

House raising and renovation work can involve retaining an existing structure while reorganising how upper and lower levels function, resolving stairs and entries, and responding to character or streetscape controls. New homes and secondary dwellings begin with the land and the client brief, then move through concept development and application drawings before more detailed construction documentation is prepared.

The practice offers DA-ready plans, reflecting a service that carries design into the regulatory stage rather than stopping at an early sketch. Consultant input can be incorporated where engineering, certification or planning advice affects the drawings, helping clients maintain a consistent set of project information as the design develops.

From its Burdett Street office in Albion, Designer Planning primarily serves Brisbane and Queensland clients. The compact team is suited to homeowners, builders and small-to-medium development clients who need a practical relationship between design ideas, planning constraints and buildable documentation.
