Custom Home Building Design, Tailored to You

Your home should start with the way you live. At KTR Creations, we design custom homes around your family, your block, your lifestyle
and your budget. Before you commit to a builder, we help you understand what is possible, what the site allows and how the design can be shaped into something practical, personal and buildable.

Because you own your plans, you are not locked into one builder. Once the design and documentation are ready, builders can price the same plans and inclusions, giving you a clearer way to compare your options.

Extensions and Renovations Designed Around the Home You Already Love

A renovation should not feel like a bolt-on. It should feel like it always belonged. KTR Creations designs extensions and renovations that work with your existing home, your block, your lifestyle and your budget. We help you understand what can be changed, what needs to be considered and how to create more space, better flow and long-term value.


For extensions, we usually meet on site so we can see the home properly before design begins. From there, we guide you through concept design, documentation, approvals and builder pricing.

Why Choose KTR Creations?

Independent, On Your Side

KTR Creations is not owned by a builder and does not run a builder’s sales process. Our advice answers to you, your block, your budget and the home you want to create.

Design Before Builder Commitment

Your home is designed before you are locked into a builder’s standard plan, inclusions or sales process. This gives you more control from the start.

Full Plan Ownership

You retain ownership of your design. Where appropriate, we can provide native DWG files and a copyright release statement, giving you more flexibility over what happens next.

Builder Quotes You Can Actually Compare

Multiple builders can price the same plans and specifications. Instead of comparing vague sales quotes or different inclusions, you can compare the same home on a clearer basis.

Budget Tested Earlier

Preliminary builder pricing at concept stage helps you understand the likely build cost before detailed documentation begins. That means the design and budget can be refined together.

Designed Around Your Life

Your home is shaped around your family, lifestyle, block and budget. It is not a standard plan with minor changes.

Approvals and Documentation Handled

We help manage the planning, council, engineering, energy and permit documentation needed to move your project forward.

More Than 16 Years of Experience

KTR Creations has spent more than 16 years designing Australian homes, from family homes and renovations to unit developments and investment properties.

Our Design-First Process

Most people are told to choose a builder before their home has been properly designed. We reverse that order.

At KTR Creations, your home is designed around your family, your block and your budget first. Then builders can price the same plans and inclusions, so you can compare clearly and choose the right builder with more confidence.

Builder Selection

Your completed plans and specifications can be sent to multiple builders, who price the
same home on the same basis. That gives you a clearer way to compare and choose the
right builder.

Unit Development and Investment Property Design

A development project needs more than a good-looking floor plan. It needs a design that works with the site, the planning requirements, the budget and the return you are trying to achieve. KTR Creations designs unit developments, investment properties, narrow lot projects and multi-dwelling sites across Perth.

We help you understand the potential of the block, prepare the right documentation and create designs that are practical, compliant and commercially considered. From concept through to approvals and builder pricing, we keep the process clear and focused on the outcome.

Full Ownership of Plans, Full Flexibility

When you work with KTR Creations, your plans are yours. That matters because it gives you control. You are not forced into a single builder’s process, pricing structure or standard inclusions. Once your design and documentation are ready, you can take the plans to multiple builders and ask them to price the same home.

That gives you a much clearer basis for comparison and helps you choose the right builder for your project, not just the first one you spoke to.

A Clearer Process From Design to Builder Selection

Building can become confusing quickly when the design, pricing, inclusions, approvals and contract all happen inside one builder’s sales process. KTR Creations gives you a different starting point. We design the home independently first, help test the budget earlier and prepare the documentation needed to move toward approvals and builder pricing.
You stay better informed, more in control and less dependent on guesswork.

Custom Designs for Your Family, Your Block and Your Budget

Every block is different. Every family is different. Your home should be too. KTR Creations designs homes that reflect how you want to live now and how the home needs to serve you in the years ahead. We consider layout, light, storage, flow, privacy, site conditions, budget and long-term function. The result is a home designed for you first, before the builder is chosen.

Award-winning firm with amazing customer service

I had an excellent experience with Alan at KTR Creations, he was very knowledgeable and professional in what he does, he spent quality time with me getting to know what I want and I really appreciate the work he prepared for us. They are an award winning firm and very polished with amazing customer service. Would highly recommend!

Smooth, stress-free council approval for extensions

We had a fantastic experience working with Alan and Katie from KTR Creations for the design and development approval (DA) of our first-level extension. From the outset, they brought a wealth of creativity, professionalism, and technical expertise to the project. Navigating the Cambridge Council approval process can be challenging, but Alan and Katie handled it with confidence and clarity. Their thoughtful design not only aligned beautifully with the character of our existing home but also addressed all planning requirements seamlessly. They managed the submission and communication with council efficiently, keeping us informed every step of the way. What stood out most was their collaborative approach, Alan listened carefully to our needs and translated them into a design that truly enhances our lifestyle and property value. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine passion for what they do made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend KTR Creations to anyone looking to undertake a renovation or extension. Their knowledge of local council requirements and commitment to great design is second to none.

Professional team with great design vision

We have been working with Katie and her team for the past 6 months. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has great vision. We love the design she has come up with for our renovations and can’t wait to see it brought to life in the coming months.

Denise Ford

Practical design for our forever family home

We’re about to build our dream home, our forever home, designed by Katie and her team at KTR Creations. The team have been fantastic to deal with, accommodating all our requests at the design stage and coming up with an amazing layout that will serve our family of 5 for years to come. I know it’s just words but honestly, I can not recommend them enough. Easy to deal with, taking a practical angle towards design and the result, in our case, is simply stunning.

Dan van der Meer

Nailed an impossible brief with warmth

Working with Katie & the KTR team has been a dream. Katie is warm & approachable & completely nailed what I thought was an impossible brief to design our family home’s extension. Their communication has been fantastic from start to finish. Cannot recommend the KTR Creations team more highly!

Cassie Prideaux

Exceeded expectations of an experienced builder

We had a fantastic experience working with Katie and the KTR team, on the design of our home. With many years of building experience myself, I had high expectations for the process, and the team exceeded them at every step. Their attention to detail, creative solutions, and ability to bring our vision to life made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, creative and dedicated design team.

Denes Aldott

Approachable team, no question is too small

Katie and the team are a pleasure to have looking after our design of a for us very special home. They are so approachable and always willing to assist. There is no such thing as a “dumb question”. What a refreshing approach. Highly recommended

Property Friends

Outstanding whole-home renovation

Wow, what can I say. I have been working with Katie and her husband Richard for over 2 years now. We have been renovating the entire home in the suburb Mindarie. We started with an enormous kitchen and then top bathrooms and the balcony BBQ area. Then we moved up to the attic room and made it into an amazing bedroom for my son. Plus completed a theatre room, which we love to relax in. We have just completed the laundry room, looks fantastic, so now on to 2024 and starting the bottom floor. Starting with the bathrooms and kitchenette, and the two ensuites, plus the pool room, then the garage and storerooms. So as you can read above, the description of what we are doing, we are excited to finish and live in our newly renovated home. I highly recommend KTR Creations. They are very personal and engaging in every aspect. I never feel like I’m left guessing. Katie presents a draft, drawing of every room, then we meet and then we confirm. Katie is outstanding in her creations of the designing of each room, and her husband Richard who builds all my cabinetry and fits it and does the final finish. Christine Butterfield of Mindarie

The team our family uses for every build

I highly recommend Katie and the team at KTR Creations. They designed my townhouse which I absolutely love! The process was smooth and stress free. Our family has used them for all our builds and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks Katie!
