Most Australian families don’t think seriously about ageing at home until something goes wrong. By that point, decisions are rushed, stress is high, and homes often need to be modified quickly—sometimes expensively, and sometimes poorly. At MJ Drafting & Design, we’ve spent years designing and documenting homes, renovations, and extensions. One thing has become increasingly clear: many homes are not designed to support people as they age—and many renovations unintentionally make this worse.

Designing a home is one of the most exciting parts of building — and also one of the easiest places to get things wrong. Many Australian homes look impressive when they’re new, but a few years later homeowners see the mistakes

Designing and building your own home is an exciting journey. Ensuring that key design elements are considered early can save time, money, and stress later in the build. This guide has been prepared to help you review important aspects of your home design before progressing further.

For Australian homeowners, having a comprehensive building specification can mean the difference between a smooth, transparent build and a costly, stressful experience filled with misunderstandings and unexpected expenses.

Decorating your home is the final step of the complete process. This is where the house becomes a home. From choosing floor colouring to the colour of the ceiling all determines the final outcome of the build.
