Design Review

FOR NEW HOUSE PLANS PERTH

Book a Design Review

Our Design Review service is for those who already have a floor plan, but want expert feedback before committing to it.

This is one of the smartest decisions you make before signing off on your new house plans Perth.

We’re here to help you sense-check your design, improve what’s not quite working, and remove any question marks hanging over you.
A design review is a simple, practical way to avoid mistakes without engaging a full-service architect.

Give yourself one less thing to worry about.

It’s normal to have doubts, to wonder whether you’re making the most of the space, if there’s something you’ve overlooked, or if the layout could work even better – but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

With a ZARQ Design Review, you’ll walk away with a refined floor plan, full confidence and no regrets.

"Upon meeting Zac, his enthusiasm for our project was palpable. We were impressed by Zac’s willingness to listen to our feedback, challenge us with bold ideas that had been carefully considered in the context of our brief, the practical realities of building and considering how spaces would function and interact."

How it works

Start with a quick call

We begin with a short phone call to get a feel for your project, where you’re at, and what you’d like us to review.

Send through your plans + brief

You’ll then send us your floor plan, any supporting drawings, and any specific concerns on your mind.

We review and refine

We go through everything with fresh architectural eyes and prepare a draft floor plan with our feedback and recommendations. This usually takes up to two weeks.

Final layout delivered

Once we’ve received your thoughts on our amendments, we refine the layout further and send through the final version – usually within one week.

The cost of a Design Review depends on the size, complexity, and level of input you need.
All Design Reviews include a draft and final floor plan, along with clear advice based on our findings and recommendations.

Our goal is simple – to help you move forward without the stress of making the wrong decision.

What are your fees?

Our pricing is based on the size and complexity of your project. If you’re unsure which option is right for you, we’re happy to guide you.

How long does it take?

Once we’ve had our phone call and received your design brief, floor plans, and any relevant documentation, it typically takes up to two weeks to prepare your draft floor plan.
Once we receive your feedback, we aim to deliver your final layout within one week.

What if I don’t have a floor plan?

You may be lucky enough to find an online real estate floor plan for your home.
If not, we can arrange a site measure and spend time documenting the key dimensions of the space before beginning the review process.

Can I give this layout to my builder?

The layouts we provide as part of Design Review are intended as concept floor plans only and are not suitable for construction.
If you need technical drawings for building or approvals, we can chat about the best next step or point you in the right direction.

Does the service include face-to-face meetings?

To keep the service efficient and cost-effective, Design Review does not include face-to-face meetings beyond the initial phone call.
Most communication happens via email, which helps keep everything clearly documented throughout the process.

Can you design a floor plan from scratch?

This service is designed for clients who already have an existing floor plan or concept they’d like reviewed.
If you need a floor plan designed from scratch, we’d recommend booking a call to discuss a more tailored house design Perth architectural service instead.

FAQs

Can you expedite my floor plan?

Yes, if you’re working to a tighter timeline, we can offer an expedited turnaround for an additional fee.
Just get in touch and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
