The DBB team were fantastic in guiding us through all aspects of designing our two developments. Mario's expertise assisted us in attaining the highest and best use for our land size and his attention to detail meant the designs were well thought out and included some great extras we hadn't considered before.
We would highly recommend DBB for excellent advice, service and talented design. We would like to thank you for your expert help and advice you gave us with designing our previous two homes and for your wonderful designs on our third home with you. You always listened to what we wanted and provided many ideas and options and the plans you provided us were exactly what we were after.
We would like to thank you for your professional services in designing our new home. We have completed the building process and have moved in and we wouldn't change a thing! The design is perfect for the location and aspect and you have managed to make it suit our lifestyle perfectly too. I'm happy to say that Mario was very successful in meeting our expectations.

Services
At Design Better Buildings we are committed to providing individuals with a positive home design and building experience. After all, creating a living space that reflects who you are should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one! Our extensive design experience, along with our respected relationship with trusted local builders, allows us to negotiate the very best price for your home or project.
Here at DBB we believe that luxury home design, can mean different things to different people. Where one client believes that luxury means a large home of 600m2 with lift and large chef's kitchen, to someone else luxury design means having a 200m2 workshop incorporating a car lift. Our job as designers is to work out what luxurious design means to each individual client, and then insure that we deliver the luxury home that our client's desire.
Many of you might think that building a custom designed luxury home will cost you more. Luckily, this is not the case. By having your home custom designed to your exact specifications and then tendered out to multiple builders you can save 6-10% on your total build cost. That is a lot of extra money that can go into furnishing, or landscaping your new home, or maybe adding that pool that you've always wanted.
With extensive experience in unit and apartment developments, we know the market for buyers and investors. When you engage our services, you will gain access to designing and building knowledge and experience as well as excellent, personal service. Your development will be designed with six-star energy ratings in mind and the modern design will aesthetically please whilst maximising the available land.

Mario and the team at DBB designed our house. They did an amazing job and we could not be happier with the end result. Mario is an absolute gentleman, wonderful to deal with, worked collaboratively with us and came up with an amazing layout based on our requirements. There isn't a single aspect that we would change. Mario is very experienced and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using DBB to design your house.

I've been working with Mario for afew months now and our build is about to commence. I honestly couldn't recommend Mario enough!! I initially spoke to afew builders however I was dealing with a sales rep and it was borderline impossible to get the house design correct. Mario has a very smooth and effective process and I honestly couldn't be happier!! Thank you :D

Have had a number of houses designed by the team. Mario, from DBB He is patient and innovative and most importantly listens. He always has striven for perfection. Once I commented that the design is 99% perfect, his reply was let try for 100%. And he meets his target, always. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and a number of friends have also now used him

I have found Mario easy to deal with and honest. When I spoke with him about the first project, he did himself out of work by showing me that the numbers didn’t add up. I have since used his building designing skills and market knowledge to great benefit and highly recommend him to anyone thinking of building. The best thing about Mario is that he isn’t linked to one builder but is able to get the best deal.

Our home was finished in 2013 , we started dealing with Mario from DBB a couple of years earlier.
Mario was very patient throughout the design process, and the final design has come up exactly as we had hoped.
The team at DBB took care of all the council approvals as well as prepare and send out to tender to multiple builders.
We received real competitive pricing from the builders, and eventually appointed one of the tendering builders to build our home.
Thank you very much DBB for all your hard work

We would like to thank Mario for his professional service in designing our home in Attadale. Mario was extremely professional and patient with us and the final result is a home that worked perfectly with the block, maximizing the solar orientation and perfectly fitting our requirements and lifestyle.
Not only did Mario design us the home of our dreams but he was also involved throughout the building process and provided us with valuable advice and assistance. By the end of the building process we not only considered Mario as a competent building designer, but also a friend.
We still get support

Having built homes in the past, we were tired of having design and specs being dictated to us by what the builder offered. We didn't want to go to the exorbitant expense of a custom architect and searched for a building designer instead. We came across Mario and the Design Better Buildings team website and were interested in what they offered. It was the best thing we ever did!
We came to Mario with some of our ideas, wants and needs and he patiently worked with us over an 11 month period (it took that long because we kept changing our design) to design the home we were after. The block was complex
