Permit-ready and build-ready drawings for owner-builders and small builders. Fixed-fee. Delivered entirely online.
We work with four kinds of clients across Australia. The drafting is the same — what changes is the workflow around it. Owner-builders and small builders are our core focus, and roughly half our work is regional.
Around half our work. We provide the permit-ready drawing sets you need for owner-builder applications in your state, and walk you through what to submit and where. Built for people doing this for the first time, on a fixed budget, with little patience for jargon.
Fast turnaround on construction documentation so you can quote, win, and start jobs sooner. Fixed-fee per project, no hourly billing, no surprises mid-project. We work with builders who care about getting on site, not about design-led drama.
Documentation partner for design firms — taking your concepts through to permit and construction sets in Revit.
Multi-unit residential, mixed-use and small commercial. Documented in Revit for unit stacking, services coordination and BCA compliance.
Every project runs through our in-house client app — one place to upload your moodboard, review drawings, leave comments, and chat directly with the drafting team on your job. No email chains, no chasing.
Tell us what you're building — project type, site address, rough scope, any constraints. We confirm scope and provide a fixed-fee quote within 1–2 business days.
Floor plans and preliminary elevations for your review, typically 1–2 weeks. You leave comments directly on the drawings; we iterate until the concept is right.
The detailed, dimensioned drawings your surveyor needs to issue a building permit and your builder needs to price and construct. Typically 3–6 weeks from concept sign-off.
Final drawings delivered as high-resolution PDFs. We stay available for council RFIs and construction-stage clarifications — all managed through the same project workspace.
Across nearly 1,500 projects we’ve built deep documentation expertise in the categories we work in every week.
New homes for owner-builders and small builders, typically 150–400 m². Efficient floor plans, NCC compliance, a clean permit set through quickly.
Two-, three- and four-unit developments on subdivided lots. Handles ResCode (or state equivalent), shared services, and acoustic and fire separation.
Walk-up and mid-rise buildings, documented in Revit for unit stacking, services coordination and BCA Class 2 compliance.
Smaller-scope additions — measure-ups, matching rooflines, tying into existing services. Granny flats are an area we’ve specialised in heavily for owner-builders.
Office, retail, hospitality and medical fitouts: partition layouts, reflected ceiling plans, joinery details, and mechanical/electrical coordination.
Warehouses, mixed-use buildings and small shopping precincts — almost always involving services coordination and clash detection through the BIM model.
You get a single number before we start, and that number doesn't change unless your scope does. No surprise invoices, no “draftsman hours” being run up while you wait for revisions. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
The entire process — brief, drawings, revisions, council RFIs — runs in your project workspace. A regional Tasmanian owner-builder gets the same drafter attention as a developer in inner Melbourne. No travel charges, no in-person meetings required, no friction.
Roughly half our work is regional, and a substantial chunk is owner-builders. We know what owner-builder permit applications look like in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania — and we produce the drawing sets you need to get through them.
Before you commission drawings, it's worth knowing exactly what permits your project actually triggers — building permit, planning permit, or both. We built a free tool that tells you, based on your state and the structure you're building. Takes 60 seconds, no signup.
