Understand:
Planning & Infrastructure constraints Current home design comfort Current layout livability & friction points Realistic future renovation, or New build design options BEFORE committing to buy your next home. Get a designer's eye,
before you buy. Evaluating how the current home will live day-to-day benefits from professional insight, and is best assessed through an experienced designer's lens, bringing a home’s pros and cons into sharp focus.
Just as importantly, many buyers hyper-focus on price and current building condition alone, without realising that planning overlays, state codes, service infrastructure locations & more can quietly shape or restrict future renovation options. Our structured, detailed report fixes this knowledge & confidence gap. What is a 'DesignFIT' Property Potential Report?
Our DesignFit Property Potential Report is a stand-alone, independent, critical design analysis prepared before purchase. It explains in clear, practical terms, how planning controls, site constraints, and the existing home influence what is realistically possible now and into the future.
This report (typically 80+ pages) is designed to help buyers make better-informed decisions before committing to a major property purchase - often the biggest financial commitment you will make in your lifetime. This is not about drawings or design concepts (yet). It's about clarity before commitment.

Treena - St Lucia
$1.8m property A few excerpts from Treena's recent feedback on her report:
"...your report made me pause in my deliberations, as you compared the brief that I gave you to what this property could realistically deliver." "I was all in until this point and then I had to stop, pivot and reconsider whether this property was for me." "...really highlighted what I could do with the property without overcapitalising and breaking the bank." "I did not appreciate the level of detail that QDH would include in the analysis." "The analysis of the block and current layout of the property – room by room – was a surprise but very much appreciated ." "The level of detail on the Design Opportunity Options was fantastic and exceeded my expectations." |

FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers...
Is this report only for home buyers?
The report is primarily designed for buyers who want clarity before committing to a purchase. In some cases, it can also be prepared for existing home owners who want to understand renovation or redevelopment potential before investing further.
Does this replace a town planning report?
No. The report explains planning controls and constraints in plain English and analyses how they influence design potential. It does not replace formal town planning advice.
Does this include drawings or concept designs?
No. The report is an analysis and advisory document only. It does not include drawings, plans, or design development.
Will this tell me whether my project will be approved?
No. The report does not assess approval risk or guarantee outcomes. It explains constraints and implications to support informed decision-making.
Do you need to visit the property?
In many cases, the report can be prepared without a site visit. Optional site-based services may be available if appropriate and are discussed after suitability is confirmed.
How long does the report take?
Timeframes are confirmed once suitability is assessed and depend on the property and scope. This is discussed before commencement. Currently our standard time-frame is 5 business days.
is it better to get the report before or after we sign the purchase contract?
If you have found a property you feel is suitable for you, it is best to get a contract in place first if a due diligence or cooling off period is utilised - such as for building & pest inspections, due diligence, finance arrangement etc. During this period, we can conduct our reporting, lowering any risk of you losing out on a potential property.
Please note: We are not responsible for the purchase outcome if the property goes unconditional while awaiting our report. Please take our timeframes into consideration prior to engaging us. We will confirm this with you prior to our acceptance.
