How we work with Builders in 5 easy steps 

Drafting Support That Works the Way You Build

Every builder has their own specifications, preferred materials, standard details and way of working. We take the time to understand these requirements so the drawings we produce reflect how you intend to price and construct the project.

Our experienced team can also communicate directly with your clients, guide them through the design process and manage amendments professionally—allowing your team to remain focused on estimating, sales and construction.

We can operate as an extension of your business, providing additional drafting capacity when you need it without the commitment of expanding your internal team.

Residential Drafting Services for Builders

Concept Design and Client Liaison

We develop custom residential concepts around the client’s brief, site conditions, budget and your building specifications. Where required, we can liaise directly with your clients, present the design and coordinate their feedback.

DA and CDC Approval Drawings

We prepare residential approval documentation for Development Applications and Complying Development Certificates, including the plans, elevations, sections and calculations required for assessment.

We can also coordinate with certifiers, town planners, BASIX and NatHERS assessors, engineers and other specialist consultants.

Tender Documentation

Clear and coordinated drawings help your estimating team understand the project and prepare more accurate pricing. Our tender sets can include detailed elevations, sections, roof plans and window schedules appropriate to the project.

Construction Documentation

We prepare detailed residential construction drawings that support your supervisors, trades and consultants during the building process. Documentation can be coordinated with structural engineering, hydraulic information, BASIX commitments and approval conditions.

Amendments and Ongoing Support

Projects change as client selections, engineering and approval requirements develop. We can update the documentation, respond to drawing queries and assist with necessary amendments throughout the project.
