      FAQschevron down

      Are you Builders?

      We're not builders but an expert Building Design & Architectural Drafting studio. We create custom home designs, detailed plans, and handle council approvals. Our role is to bring your vision to life on paper, while you hire a licensed builder to construct the project. We collaborate closely with builders to ensure smooth, accurate execution of your dream home or renovation.


      Do you have Builders you recommend?

      Yes, we can recommend trusted builders who deliver quality workmanship & understand our designs. However, we always encourage clients to get at least 3-4 quotes to compare pricing & services. It's important you choose a builder who aligns with your specific needs, timeline, & budget. We're happy to collaborate closely with whichever builder you select to ensure your project runs smoothly.


      Do you handle the whole council approval?

      Yes, we offer an add-on service to handle the entire council approval process. From preparing all necessary documentation & plans to lodging applications, we can manage communication with the council & address any requests or objections. Our experience with complex approvals, including heritage properties, ensures a smoother, stress-free process so your project stays on track from start to finish.
