David Wraight Cottages builds weatherboard homes using Weathertex Weatherboards. Its homes are either smaller cottages, villas or homesteads. David Wraight Cottages has developed its homes using this weatherboard and integrated it with corner facings, window facings, baseboards and an extensive use of verandas and decks. Most of its homes also have a 2.7m stud.

While David Wraight Cottages has various plans from houses it has already designed and built, its speciality is to sit down with the customer and design a house especially for them within the cottage/villa style.

David Wraight Cottages concentrates heavily on getting the exterior look of the house in terms of the lines of yesterday and then move onto the interior floor plan.

David Wraight Cottages try to work on an efficient floor plan to avoid wasted space, e.g., if a 200 sq/m home is as roomy as a 220-240 sq/m home it helps in terms of cost, especially when you are using a lot of extra features, like verandas.

David Wraight Cottages has found in the past that by using a 2.7m stud and a smart floor plan a home can meet all expectations for space. There are many options available that can add extra features to a character home, e.g., window seats, vaulted ceilings, lean-tos, walk-in linen and pantry, or a scullery - the list can be endless when dealing with these houses.
