Crafting Spaces You’ll Love for a Lifetime

We turn unique ideas into clear, buildable plans – handling design, drafting, and project coordination from concept through to approval.

Custom Homes, Renovations & Building Design Services Brisbane

Realex Design is your all-in-one design studio, specialising in custom homes and renovations.

We deliver tailored building design and project coordination services that bring your vision to life. From concept through to approval, we manage all required consultants, simplifying the process and removing the stress from pre-construction.

Using advanced LiDAR scanning technology, we capture your existing home with exceptional accuracy for renovation projects helping minimise construction risks, reduce delays, and avoid costly on-site variations.

At Realex Design, we recognise that every client is different and so is every home. That’s why we take a personalised approach to every project, designing spaces that truly reflect your lifestyle, needs, and vision.

We Shape Homes That Reflect Your Story

Residential Renovations

We combine LiDAR scanning technology with bespoke design solutions to deliver renovation documentation that’s accurate, coordinated, and ready for approval.

Heritage & Character Projects

Respectful design that preserves heritage and character homes while transforming spaces to be functional, well-considered, and comfortable for modern living.

Custom Homes

Exclusively designed homes shaped by your site, brief, and lifestyle, to produce refined architectural outcomes that are delivered with the detail and clarity your vision deserves.

Why Choose Us

We’re a design practice built on transparency, design process, and genuine client & builder relationships.

We’ll guide you through the complexity of design, approvals, and consultants. With a clear, proven process and a trusted network of professionals.

Design to Budget

From day one, we shape the design around your budget, working closely with builders throughout the project to deliver a well-resolved, practical outcome ready for construction.

Accuracy & Detail

Our use of LiDAR scanning ensures precise documentation, particularly for renovations – because an accurate understanding of the existing structure is the foundation of good design.

Council & Planning Expertise

We address planning requirements from the outset, identifying council requirements early to avoid costly redesigns or delays.

Process-Driven Approach

Every project follows a structured, clearly defined process, ensuring you always know what’s happening and what comes next.

Craft Your Architectural Dream With Us!

The Realex Design Process

Backed by over 20 years of industry experience, our process has been carefully refined to bring clarity to every stage of your project – removing guesswork, guiding decisions, and delivering well-considered, buildable outcomes.

Discovery & Concept Design

Every great project begins with understanding your vision. During this stage, we discuss your goals, lifestyle, design preferences, and project requirements. We investigate your site, undertake site measurements where required, and provide a tailored fee proposal.

Using the insights gathered, we translate your ideas into a conceptual design package, including floor plans, elevations, and 3D visualisations, helping you clearly see the potential of your future home before moving forward.

Design Development

Once the concept is approved, we refine the finer details that bring your home to life. Materials, finishes, cabinetry, lighting, and key design elements are carefully considered and coordinated to create a cohesive, functional, and highly personalised outcome that aligns with your vision and budget.

Construction Documentation & Project Handover

With the design finalised, we prepare the detailed construction documentation required for your builder to bring the project to life. These plans provide the technical information needed for a smooth construction process onsite.

Before handover, we review the completed documentation with you, answer any final questions, and make any minor adjustments required. Your plans are then ready for construction, and we always enjoy seeing your project progress as it becomes a reality.

The Realex Design Process

Discovery

Let’s talk! During Discovery, we have the opportunity to discuss your project vision, provide a fee proposal, investigate your project site, and conduct a site measure if required. We get to hear how you are envisioning your future home, and what you would absolutely love to see come to life.

Concept Design

We learn about your lifestyle, personal taste and functional needs. After capturing your focus points during our design meeting, we translate your vision into a conceptual set of floor plans, elevations, and 3D visualisations.

Design Development

We refine the finer details that define your home – thoughtfully resolving materials, finishes, cabinetry and lighting to create a cohesive, well-considered and highly personalised outcome.

Project Handover

Your Building Design plans are officially complete and ready for your builder. We like to touch base here during Project Handover to see if you had any final questions, or if there were any final minor adjustments you’d like to see before the construction teams get started. Feel free to keep in touch, we love seeing how your home is coming together during construction!

Construction Documentation

We finalise your building design plans with the construction details to ensure a smooth process onsite.
