David Hill is a BDAA Accredited Building Designer based in Shellharbour with a background most designers don't have. He spent years as a builder before moving into design. That experience shows in every set of plans he produces.
When you work with Shellharbour Building Design, you deal directly with David, not a junior draftsperson or an outsourced team. He understands what Shellharbour City Council requires, what builders need to price a job accurately, and what homeowners need to feel confident their project is in good hands.
