Building design, permits & construction support.

Drafting and documentation, in depth

Most of what we do is documentation — and it is where projects are quietly won or lost. We have written the detail out properly rather than leaving it as a line on a services list:

• Architectural drafting — the full picture: which permit you need, what each drawing set contains, which consultants and when, timeframes and what drives fees.
• Working drawings — the construction set your builder prices and builds from.
• Town planning drawings — the set council assesses against the scheme and ResCode.
• Building permit drawings — what the surveyor assesses against the NCC.
• Extensions and renovations — drafting that has to meet an existing building honestly.
• Townhouses and unit developments — where Clause 55 decides the yield.
• Steel shop drawings — detailed in-house, which almost no drafting studio can say.

We know the councils, not just the code

The state sets the framework. Your municipality sets the overlays, the character precincts and the local policy that actually decide your permit — and they are not the same from one council to the next. We have built in these, and written up what each asks for:

Frankston · Monash · Whitehorse · Glen Eira · Kingston · Boroondara · Darebin · Banyule

How an engagement usually starts

With a paid feasibility stage — deliberately, so you are not committing significant fees before knowing whether the project is viable. Fees depend on scope, and any firm quoting a single number without seeing your site is guessing. The real drivers are the size and complexity of the build, whether a planning permit is triggered, whether overlays apply, how constrained the site is, and how many consultants need coordinating. We give you a clear, written fee proposal after an initial conversation.

Send us the address and we will tell you what applies.
