BASIX & Council Compliance Without the Headaches

Get a Sustainable Home Design That Saves Energy, Cuts Costs

Francis Design creates energy efficient, eco-friendly homes that strike the perfect balance between budget, timeline, aesthetics, and function.

Our holistic approach ensures full compliance with BASIX, GBCA standards, and local planning regulations. We use recycled materials, timber, stone, glass and innovative design strategies to reduce waste, lower energy usage, and promote healthier living spaces.

Our designs are tailored to meet your lifestyle needs while reducing environmental impact and long-term costs. It’s sustainable building that saves you money, without compromising on style or performance.

Wherever possible, we explore the Complying Development Certificate (CDC) route to bypass lengthy council approval. If CDC is feasible for your site, we’ll guide you through the most efficient path to get your home approved and ready to build, saving time and money.

Through smart spatial planning and design, we maximise natural light, improve passive solar performance, and reduce construction costs.

Great design isn’t just about how a home looks, it’s about how it works. That’s where we excel.
