Ready-made Design Library

Pick a home. Make it yours.

Start with a proven Australian design instead of a blank page. Review the plans, choose the layout that suits you, then use BrainO to organise the next steps around the design.

Important: the five starter designs below come from the Australian Government's free Design For Place library and are licensed under CC BY 4.0. The source plans remain free. The $299 BrainO Ready-made Design Pack is BrainO's service around the selected design — organising the pack, project setup and next-step support — not a charge for access to the free government PDF itself.
