Future Designs is a small building company that is focused on quality assured workmanship. We deal with our clients on a one-on-one basis, ensuring they feel a part of the building process. We offer a Quality Guarantee to all our workmanship and finishes, which is why we receive nothing but positive feedback from our clients. We offer a great end product with clients not having to break the bank to achieve their home extension project or custom build. All our tradesmen are qualified and have been selected because they take pride in their workmanship.

This is certainly an option worth considering, however, the research we have done shows that for people to find something relatively close to where they currently live and find a property they desire within the market at the price they’re willing to pay is difficult, especially in the boom town of Perth. A property close to the CBD with a high end finish doesn’t come cheap. If this information is something you agree with, then building, extending or renovating is a great option.

Depending on what you want to achieve with your existing house, sometimes renovating can be cheaper, however, what people fail to realise is that there are usually more labour cost items and problems to solve when renovating because you’re working with an existing structure, so more often than not it’s more expensive. When renovating, the way you save money is by staying in the property whilst renovating, not paying stamp duty and saving on elevated land prices to buy in an area you would prefer to live in.

At Future Designs, we offer both options, however, you need to give consideration to several things, such as the following:

• Do I like where I currently live as opposed to trying to find a block in my price range?
• Can I find building land in my budget where I would like to live?
