ABOUT
Pinnacle offer a comprehensive design service. Working with you from concept to construction, the company helps take the hassle out of your building project.
Starting from the initial meeting, Pinnacle can guide you along every step and take care of all the details up to getting your building and plumbing permits, ready to start building. Combining technical expertise and creative design we will work with you to design a home that suits your style and budget and has the aesthetic appeal you love.
We provide detail quotations outlining the required consultant and council fees prior to commencement so you have a clear picture of the associated costs with your project.
Pinnacle can recommend and liaise with all the necessary consultants- engineer, building surveyor, council etc., streamlining the design process and looking after all design aspects for clients.
Current building regulations require new developments to meet 6 star energy efficiency rating and be certified as compliant with current Bushfire regulations. Pinnacle designers are certified to prepare both Energy Efficiency and Bushfire Reports, saving clients time and money.

Our award winning team have an extensive knowledge of all local planning schemes and the National Construction Code. We design with the latest 3D design packages, so you can see exactly how your design will look on the site and even walk through the rooms to see your house design from the inside!
