Custom Designs

Your Own Design

So you've seen our homes and like them however you have some very definite ideas about some design features you want in your home. Perhaps you want to incorporate the basic ideas of one of our homes or maybe you want to start from scratch and use our construction ability and design knowledge to achieve your own Merrigal original.

Because we build what we design - unlike an architect or design service - we know what it costs, and we can design to a budget and a brief. All too often people approach us with a set of drawings to price only to find that it has not been designed to a price or that it ignores construction efficiencies, adding additional costs and difficulties. We then have to start all over again and any money previously spent is wasted.

Unlike using an architect or designer, whatever money you spend with Merrigal to achieve your ‘one-off’ original always comes off the price of your new home.

There are some prerequisites to enable us to do the best we can possibly do. Call us today to get a full list of the procedures we like to follow.

We then arrange for you to meet with one of our designers to obtain a far better sense of your objectives.

Our drawings are done in a very sophisticated drawing package called AutoCAD. We will then come back to you with our initial interpretation of what we understand you want and then amend our drawings until we have achieved your design.

This design is then costed and we then proceed to full working drawings and contractual documentation.

That’s it, you're on the road to building your very own Merrigal original.

An example of a custom home we have designed is this modern Skillion roof design, built in Somers which blends in comfortably to the Peninsula backdrop with native beachside gardens and coastal plantings.
