Every project is different
our designs are created specifically for you
From the first conversation to the final design, your vision drives our process. We create custom building designs that respond to your site, planning requirements, and goals, ensuring a result that is both practical and cost-efficient.
OUR PROCESS
Following an initial consultation and defined scope of work, a proposal is accepted to begin design services.
Design sketches like floorplans and front facade designs will be issued for initial review and approval.
Design sketches like site plans, section views, and remaining elevations will be issued for final review and approval.
Completed design package will be submitted to relevant certifying authority for review and determination.
Why is hiring a Building Designer important for your development?
Engaging a Building Designer ensures you maximise the potential of your site while complying with relevant planning controls and building regulations. At BPB NSW, we combine design expertise, technical knowledge, and industry experience to transform your vision into a practical, compliant, and well-considered design solution.
Our team carefully considers space planning, functionality, aesthetics, and construction outcomes to create designs that respond to your needs and the unique characteristics of your property. With extensive experience navigating Development Applications (DAs), Complying Development Certificates (CDCs), and planning approval pathways, we help streamline the process while ensuring all applicable standards and requirements are met.
From new homes, dual occupancies and secondary dwellings (granny flats) to multi-dwelling developments and commercial projects, we deliver creative, tailored design solutions that maximise value, enhance liveability, and support successful project outcomes.
With a team that includes former Council professionals, we offer valuable insight into the planning and assessment process from both a design and approval perspective. This experience allows us to identify potential challenges early, provide practical solutions, and develop designs that balance your vision with planning requirements. The result is a smoother journey from concept to approval, giving you greater confidence throughout the process.

Complying Development Certificate (CDC) PATHWAY
A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) offers a fast-tracked approval pathway for eligible developments. At BPB NSW, we leverage our expertise to prepare and coordinate all necessary documentation, ensuring a seamless application process and helping achieve approval as efficiently as possible.
OUR PROCESS
Every project starts with a comprehensive consultation, where our in-house town planners evaluate your proposal and determine whether it is eligible for a CDC approval pathway.
We manage the preparation of all necessary documentation, including architectural plans, engineering, and environmental assessments.
Our team lodges your CDC application through the NSW Planning Portal, ensuring all required information is accurately prepared and submitted for assessment.
We liaise directly with private certifiers throughout the CDC process to facilitate a smooth, efficient, and timely approval outcome.
Following lodgement, we actively monitor the progress of your application and promptly respond to any requests or queries to help facilitate a timely approval outcome.

Fast-tracked Approval
We work closely with reputable private certifiers to ensure a smooth approval process, with CDC approvals commonly issued within 10–20 days of lodgement.
Simplified Process
A CDC offers a more efficient approval pathway, allowing eligible developments to bypass many of the processes typically required for a Development Application (DA).
