How to use the Plan Library
MADE BY DESIGNERS, MADE FOR YOU
1. MAKE IT FIT
Start with a professionally resolved plan, then adapt it to suit your space.
Use the available CAD file to make simple changes, perhaps extending an island, adjusting cabinetry or changing a dimension. Then simply hand it to your builder, cabinetmaker or designer to finalise. For architectural plans the CAD file will allow you to tweak the home to place onto your site and submit to council.

2. MAKE IT YOURS
Once the plan is resolved, it’s time to choose the finishes, fixtures and details that will make the space feel like yours. You can:
Start with a Concept + Scheme
Choose a design style you love and use our coordinated palette of materials, finishes and product selections as your starting point.
Recreate one of our projects
Download the accompanying project schedule and use the finishes and selections we originally specified.
Create your own scheme
Start from scratch and use our Little Black Book and supplier resources to discover some of the brands and products we return to again and again.
The plan gives you the structure. The selections are where you make it yours.3. MAKE IT HAPPEN

FAQ’s
USING + CUSTOMISING YOUR PLANS
-
Absolutely. Think of your plan as the blueprint — the finishes and fixtures are completely up to you. You can apply selections from another project by The Designory using our Sourcing + Selections packages, or create your own palette from scratch for a fully custom look.
-
The best option is the CAD Drawing File Upgrade, which gives you the editable file. You can hand this straight to your builder, designer, or draftsperson so they can adjust the layout and dimensions to suit your site and local council requirements.
-
Yes! Choose our “Edit The Design With Us” Upgrade. This package includes a 1:1 call with Melissa to discuss your project, plus 2 hours of drafting time where we’ll tailor the plan directly for you.
-
Definitely. With the CAD Drawing File Upgrade, your builder or draftsperson gets full access to the editable files. This makes it simple to adapt the plan to your site, saving time and eliminating guesswork.
-
Yes — our plans are designed to mix and match across projects. To keep everything cohesive, we recommend pairing them with a Sourcing + Selections package, which ensures finishes and fittings flow seamlessly throughout your home.
-
That’s no problem. The fixtures and finishes in the original project don’t lock you in. You can substitute with those from a different Designory project or source your own — the plan still works as the perfect design foundation.
-
Every site has unique conditions and requirements. Our plans are council-appropriate and professionally drafted, but they will need to be adapted by a local, qualified professional to meet your site’s codes, conditions, and approvals.
-
Our plans are designed to be flexible and adaptable. With the CAD Drawing File Upgrade, your builder or designer can adjust layouts, dimensions, and details to ensure the plan works seamlessly for your site and orientation.
-
Not at all. Think of it as a shortcut to clarity — a proven design foundation you can adapt. You’ll save hundreds of hours on drafting while still keeping the flexibility to customise dimensions, materials, and finishes to suit your style and site.
-
If your project requires further edits, you can book additional design or drafting time with The Designory team. This allows you to tailor the plans beyond the standard 2-hour upgrade for a truly bespoke result — without starting from scratch.
-
You’re not alone. Our team is here to help with optional design sessions, sourcing support, and project guidance. Whether you need advice on adapting your plan, choosing materials, or keeping your project cohesive, we’ve got you covered.
