Our Drafting Services

It depends on the type of building, size, and location. Some projects (like small sheds, decks, or carports) may be exempt or self-assessable. Larger projects usually require approval through a DA, CDC, or private certifier. Projects in bushfire, flood prone, heritage or other restricted zones will require full assessment.

We’ll help you determine the right pathway.

A DA is a full council application, often required if your project doesn’t meet certain planning rules, or is located in sensitive or risk prone areas.

A CDC is a fast-track approval available if your project meets specific standards.

Our drafting services are tailored to your project and council requirements – from small sheds to new homes, every project will be unique. Contact us for a project estimate, once we know more we can give you an accurate price.

Yes, if your project includes structural elements (slabs, retaining walls, roof spans, etc.), a licensed engineer must certify the design. We work alongside engineers and can coordinate these reports for you.

Initial delivery of plans for most small projects (sheds, decks, pools) can be within 1–2 weeks. Larger house plans or extensions may take 3–4 weeks, depending on complexity, council requirements, and any unexpected changes to the design brief (its your dream home, we get it!)

All new homes and extensions in NSW require BASIX certification - based on achieving passing scores in energy efficiency, water use, thermal comfort.
