About

Every Dunne project begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand you, your vision and get to the heart of what you want to achieve in your home. The houses we design and build are bespoke; crafted carefully to complement those who call them home. The insights we uncover during our first meeting help us to see your bigger picture, and to establish an overarching brief for your project.

Before any work commences on design, we do our research. We thoroughly review all the information available on your property to understand its uniqueness and any constraints that may exist, which gives us clear parameters to work within as we enter the design phase.

With your feedback, we set to making refinements to the design concept. The details aren’t just important, they’re everything; we want to ensure that every small and large aspect of the design perfectly complements your vision and your family’s way of living. At this point, we make any necessary adjustments to the scope of works, based on your feedback and the design refinements made.

It’s here we translate the big picture ideas into each individual element that makes up your home; carefully harnessing colour, texture, light and space to blend refined aesthetics with practical functionality. Our attention to detail while always keeping one eye on the bigger picture is what sets us apart.

With planning approval secured, we prepare of a preliminary set of working drawings. It’s here we engage specialist consultants to prepare the required documentation, including but not limited to engineering, soil analysis and energy ratings reports.

With each and every detail documented we assemble your final construction quote, based on the completed drawings.

At this point, the culmination of work comes together as we prepare your construction package.

This encompasses the working drawings for the building permit application, along with detailed interior drawings and documentation to inform every aspect of the build process. The seamless collaboration between our design and construction teams and the attention to detail here is what sees your vision come to life in an efficient, cohesive way.

Upon completion of the construction package, we prepare the building contract that covers all the important finer details as we look to commence the construction phase. We walk through the elements of the contract with you, and finalise the documentation together.

From here, our team manages the building permit application on your behalf. Upon submission of the application, we oversee the liaison with the building surveyor, and take care of any refinements required along the way. Every detail is attended to carefully, so no time is wasted in the progression of the project.

With the building permit secured, we move into the construction phase. This is where vision is translated into reality. From start to finish, our design and construction teams liaise regularly and collaborate seamlessly, identifying solutions before problems even eventuate.

It’s through the careful curation of furniture and accessories that the unique personality of your home begins to take centre-stage. We find the harmonious balance between creativity and restraint to create a space that’s defined by elegance and driven by simplicity.

Once construction is complete, we guide you though a final walkthrough, and from there we complete handover. This is the culmination of the process from idea, to design and detail, to construction — all woven together to create a beautiful, final touchpoint: your home.
