Site visit today at one of our duplex projects in Gregory Hills. 🏡🏡

Always great seeing the plans come off the page and watching the design take shape on site.

This project has been carefully designed to maximise the site, create two functional family homes and deliver a strong overall street presence.

Great to be working alongside Corebuild Services on this project and seeing the design being brought to life on site.

Another FJA Designs duplex progressing nicely.

LOOKING FOR A DUPLEX SITE?

Buying land for a duplex shouldn’t be a guessing game.

At FJA Designs, we understand the planning controls, site requirements and design considerations that determine whether a block actually works for duplex development.

We’re working on a new service designed to make the process easier:

✓ Identify suitable duplex sites
✓ Review planning & development potential
✓ Prepare a site-specific duplex concept
✓ Establish the approval pathway — DA or CDC
✓ Coordinate the consultants required for approval
✓ Connect the project with a builder ready to quote and build

LAND → DESIGN → APPROVAL → BUILD

One coordinated pathway, with the planning and design work considered before you commit to the wrong site.

NEW PROJECT | MENANGLE PARK 🏡

Another exciting FJA Designs project is ready to start construction in Menangle Park!

It’s always rewarding to see a design move from the initial concept, through the approval and documentation stages, and finally become ready to build.

Working alongside Elle Homes has been an absolute pleasure. It’s great collaborating with a builder who shares the same attention to detail and commitment to delivering a quality home.

We can’t wait to see this one come to life!

Choosing the right colour palette is about so much more than picking colours you like.

The right combination of materials, textures and tones has the power to completely transform a home—creating balance, adding value and ensuring the design feels timeless for years to come.

A colour palette should work as one complete vision. Your brick, roof, windows, cladding, garage door, render, paving and landscaping all need to complement each other. When just one element is out of place, it can change the entire feel of the home.

Getting the colour palette right before construction begins can save costly changes later and ensure the finished home looks exactly as you imagined.

At FJA Designs, we believe great design is in the details.

Project Progress Update – Silverdale

Our Silverdale project is well underway, and it's great to see everything starting to come together on site.

We're proud to be working alongside , bringing this custom home from concept to reality. Watching the planning and design take shape is always one of the most rewarding parts of the process.

A big thank you to the team on site for their quality workmanship and attention to detail. We can't wait to share more progress as this project continues.

Stay tuned for more updates! 👌

One of the biggest misconceptions we see is that lodging a DA or CDC is just about the architectural plans.

In reality, the plans are only one piece of the puzzle.

Depending on your site and the proposed development, your application may also require supporting documentation such as:
✔️ BASIX & NatHERS Certificates
✔️ Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE)
✔️ Stormwater & Hydraulic Design
✔️ Structural Engineering
✔️ Landscape Plans
✔️ Arborist Reports
✔️ Bushfire Assessments (BAL)
✔️ Flood Reports
✔️ Acoustic Reports
✔️ Waste Management Plans
✔️ Heritage Assessments
✔️ Traffic or Parking Assessments

Every site is different, which means every application has different requirements.

At FJA Designs, we coordinate the entire approval process—from preparing the architectural drawings through to organising the required consultants and managing the lodgement—helping make what can be a complex process as smooth as possible.

School holidays... and suddenly your home feels too small.

The kids are home all day, every room is in use, and it's often during the school holidays that families realise they've simply outgrown their home.

If you're constantly wishing for:
✔️ Bigger bedrooms
✔️ More living space
✔️ A dedicated home office
✔️ Better indoor-outdoor living
✔️ A floor plan that actually works for your family
..it might be time to stop trying to make an old home fit your lifestyle.

A knockdown rebuild allows you to stay in the suburb you love while creating a home that's designed around the way your family lives today—not the way someone lived 40 years ago.

At FJA Designs, we specialise in designing custom homes that maximise your block, your budget, and your lifestyle. Before you start searching for a new home, let us show you what's possible on the land you already own.

📞 Love your location. Build the home you've always wanted.

A Sloping Block Doesn't Limit Your Home... It Defines It.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is, "My block is too steep to build on."

The reality is that some of the most impressive homes are designed specifically for sloping sites.

At FJA Designs, we don't start with a standard floor plan and try to make it fit. We start with your land. By understanding the site's natural contours, levels and orientation, we create a home that works in harmony with the block rather than fighting against it.

The result?
🏡 Smarter layouts that flow with the land.
🌿 Less unnecessary excavation and retaining.
☀️ Better natural light and elevated views.
✨ A home with character that simply couldn't be achieved on a flat block.

Every sloping site presents a unique opportunity. With the right design, what first appears to be a challenge can become your home's greatest feature.

Thinking about building on a sloping block? We'd love to help you unlock its full potential.

Your Plans. Your Choice.

One of the biggest advantages of engaging an independent Building Designer is that you own your plans.

That means you're not locked into using a particular builder. Once your design is complete, you have the flexibility to obtain quotes from multiple builders, compare pricing, workmanship, inclusions, and timelines, and choose the team that's the best fit for you.

This gives you greater control over your project and the confidence of knowing you've selected the builder that best suits your budget, expectations, and vision.

A home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. Having the flexibility to choose the right builder can make all the difference.

Design first. Build with confidence.

📞 Thinking about building? Let's create a home that's thoughtfully designed around your lifestyle, with the flexibility to work with the builder that suits you best.
