Professional Independent Costing
Want a Fair Payout from Your Insurance Provider?
Have you been impacted by flooding? Are you trying to get a fair payout from your insurance company? Allow us to help you with an independent assessment! Insurance companies can often be biased and most payouts aren’t fair when it comes to natural disaster events such as the recent floods.
We had a client who’s insurance company pay out was $100,000, and our QS cost planner’s assessment was $205,000. This is a massive difference! We offer a schedule of the works and a professional quantity surveyor costing to help you get a fair deal and influence a better payout outcome, which can ultimately be put into the design of your flood resistant home or flood proof home.
If you’ve been flooded get us in for an independent assessment where you’re sure to benefit big time. Assessments from $1995+GST plus a site measure.

Safe proofing your home
Flood Proof House Design Brisbane
If you are seeking to build a new flood proof house, this allows us to start with a clean slate and design not only to prevent damage in the event of a severe flood but also to design to take advantage of your flood zone landholding. A truly successful architecturally designed home encapsulates any views, provides privacy, has living rooms orientated to the direction of the best possible aspect (usually north to north-east) as well as to the prevailing breezes.
Just because you are seeking a flood-proof home, there is no reason why your architecturally designed home should not include all the advantages that a truly well-designed home can provide you. Every flood-resistant house that we have designed is different depending on the needs and lifestyle of its owners and the advantages and disadvantages that the residential block provides.

Resilient design creates homes that can survive natural disasters
Flood Resilient House Design
One thing that is constant however is that your flood-resistant design created by dion seminara architecture will ensure that should another disastrous flood occur, your home will be best equipped to withstand this event. Ideally, if your block allows, your new home should be located in an area that is above the flood zone line.
This is often not possible, but if there are any variations on the steepness of the block, we would advise as to the optimal placement of your new home and rooms within your new home. We use innovative designs and approaches that showcase our value of the environment. By incorporating sustainable design elements in our work, we can help you do your part in making your home more environmentally friendly.
