Welcome to Sands Building Design Residential, Townhouses/Units, Commercial, Industrial, Renovations, Additions, New construction, Passive solar design, Energy Rating. About Us Whether it is a new residential, commercial or industrial building or the renovation of it, good design is the single most important element in making a project a success. A design really is the foundation for any project, and investment in excellent design is likely to pay for itself time and time again. A well-considered, site specific design, will not be modified onsite (which is the main reason for time & budget blow-outs); a well-presented design has a greater chance of obtaining planning approval; a comprehensive set of drawings is less likely to result in interpretive errors by trademan onsite. The choice of 'design and designer' is the means to the success of your building project, and you must approach the decision with an open mind, as cost cutting on design can be a grave false economy. Every site is unique with its own set of problems and possibilities. Sands Building Design work to overcome the problems and reach the full potential of the possibilities.
