Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Wang Architects provide?

Wang Architects provides architectural and interior design services for custom homes across Melbourne. Our services include concept design, town planning documentation, construction documentation and site inspections. We tailor each project to the client’s lifestyle, site conditions, budget and design vision.

Allow approximately 4–8 months for design and documentation, depending on the project’s complexity and planning approval requirements. Construction of a new single dwelling in Victoria generally takes another 12–18 months. Site conditions, permits, consultant coordination, material availability and builder scheduling can affect the overall timeframe.

Yes. Wang Architects designs architecture and interiors together so the building form, spatial planning and interior details work as one composition. Depending on the agreed project scope, our interior design services can include joinery, materials, finishes, lighting and spatial flow.

High-quality custom homes in Melbourne typically cost approximately AUD $4,000–$6,000+ per square metre to construct. This is an indicative range only; the final cost depends on the home’s size, site conditions, structural complexity, materials, finishes and market conditions. Wang Architects helps align the design brief with a realistic construction budget.

Wang Architects manages each design against an indicative construction budget from the outset, using the building area, project complexity and recent tender outcomes from comparable projects. We are not quantity surveyors, so we cannot guarantee the final build cost.

If a builder’s tender exceeds the budget, we work with the client and builder to adjust finishes and details while protecting the core design.

Yes. Wang Architects prepares and submits the architectural documentation required for town planning applications and coordinates with town planners, consultants, councils and other relevant authorities. The exact approval pathway depends on the municipality, planning controls, overlays and characteristics of the site.

Yes. Wang Architects designs homes for sloping blocks and other challenging sites. We treat the site’s topography, access, planning constraints and surrounding context as important design inputs, allowing us to develop a practical and site-responsive architectural solution.

Clients can bring their own builder or ask Wang Architects to recommend builders with suitable experience. In either case, we can remain involved during construction, respond to design questions and help ensure the finished home reflects the approved architectural and interior design documentation.

Wang Architects integrates architecture and interior design within one team, keeping decisions connected from planning through to detailing. Our award-winning, founder-led practice has experience with multi-million-dollar homes and remains involved during construction. This hands-on approach helps maintain the design intent, material quality and level of detail throughout the project.

Yes. Wang Architects designs residential renovations and extensions as well as new homes. We work with the existing building’s character, structure and site conditions while introducing spaces that support contemporary lifestyles and the client’s long-term needs.
