Make the floor plan work

Space planning that finds room
you did not know you had

Measured drawings and furniture layouts for Hobart homes that feel smaller than they are. Most places have the space. It is usually hiding behind the wrong sofa.

The offer

Layout before everything else

Paint, furniture and lighting all get easier once the plan is right. We fix the bones first: where things go, how people move, what the room does at 7am versus 9pm.

Tape measure and sketch of a living room layout on graph paper
  • Full measured survey of the rooms involved, including door swings and window heights
  • Two to three layout options per room with honest pros and cons
  • Furniture placement plan with real product dimensions, not generic boxes
  • Storage plan covering what you own now, not a minimalist fantasy
  • A builder-ready drawing pack if the plan moves walls or doors
What you get

The paperwork that
makes it real

Design is a stack of decisions. These are the documents those decisions live in.

Scaled furniture templates arranged on a floor plan
Deliverable 01

Measured floor plan

Your place drawn to scale with everything that matters: services, windows, doors, radiators and the weird bulkhead nobody mentions.

Three layout options for the same living room side by side
Deliverable 02

Layout options

Genuinely different arrangements with reasoning. Where the sofa goes and why, where the desk survives, how the cot fits when family visits.

Deliverable 03

Storage map

A zone-by-zone plan for everything you own. Seasonal stuff, daily stuff, the camping gear. Nothing left homeless.

The process

How this service
runs, step by step

Two weeks from measure to final pack, most of it spent drawing rather than talking.

Step 01

Measure day

One visit, every room measured and photographed. We ask what is not working and what you refuse to give up.

Step 02

Draft layouts

Two or three options per room, drawn to scale. Each comes with the reasoning, so the trade-offs are yours to weigh.

Step 03

Refine and lock

One revision round to merge the best of the options. Then we lock the plan and dimension everything.

Step 04

Final pack

Scaled plans, furniture list with dimensions, storage map. Ready for you, your builder or your favourite flat-pack weekend.

The number

From $1,200 per floor plan

One flat fee per plan covering measure, options and the final pack. Multi-room or whole-home plans get quoted together, which works out cheaper per room.

  • Fixed fee agreed after the site measure
  • All drawings delivered as PDF plus editable files if you ask
  • Builder-ready versions included when walls move
Questions

Asked about
space planning

Something else? +61 7 3862 4189 gets you a person, not a menu.

Will a new layout really change that much?
In most homes, yes. The common wins are a dining table that finally fits, a second work zone, or a bedroom that stops doubling as a corridor. The measure day tells us quickly whether the bones allow it.
Do you move walls or just furniture?
Both. Most jobs stay within the existing shell because that is where the value is, but if moving a doorway buys you a whole room, we will say so and draw it properly.
Can you plan around furniture we already own?
That is the default. We measure your existing pieces and plan around them. If something is holding the room back, we will tell you which piece and why.
