For people who want a head start, not a shortcut.

Semi-Bespoke suits people who know what they like when they see it. You start from a home we've already designed and built, so the hard thinking on layout and structure is done. Then we change what matters to you and adapt the plan to your block. It's often a quicker path through design, and you'll see what you're working with from the first meeting.

From the plan you start with to the home you move into, here's how Semi-Bespoke works.

  1. Bed with linen throw and cushions beside a ceramic lamp on a timber bedside table

    Your brief

    How you live, what matters most and your non-negotiables.

  2. Bathroom with a fluted freestanding bath, a frameless shower and plantation shutters

    Site study

    Light, slope, soil and planning controls, checked before we draw.

  3. Double-height living room with chandeliers and a fireplace, seen from the upstairs balustrade, people walking through

    Concept sketches

    First ideas on paper, shaped around your brief and your block.

  4. White kitchen with a brass freestanding oven, pot filler tap and herringbone floor

    3D design

    Walk through your home in 3D and refine it until it's right.

  5. Bedroom with a ceramic lamp on a timber bedside table, a person walking past

    Full scale

    Stand in your floorplan at full scale before a brick is laid.

  6. Green-tiled basin under a tall window beside white cabinetry

    Final plans

    Drawings and a preliminary estimate matched to your design.

What can change

Almost anything can change. Here's what people tend to change, and what's worth keeping.

Kitchens, living areas and bedrooms are where most changes happen, because that's where daily life happens. Room sizes shift, walls move and windows grow. Finishes and fixtures are chosen fresh in Personalise, so no two homes end up looking the same.

Some things are worth keeping. The structure and core layout of a plan we've already built are proven, and keeping them is what gives you a head start on design. If a change would undo that, we'll tell you, along with what it costs, before you decide.

Layout changes

Walls, room sizes and flow, reshaped around how you live.

Your finishes

Every material and fixture chosen fresh with you.

Fit to the block

Orientation, setbacks and slope worked into the plan.

Costs up front

Every change priced before you decide on it.

Every one started from a different point, and none of them ended up the same.
