At The Plan Shop, we take drafting seriously; it’s the foundation on which our entire business is built. Since 1985, we’ve been pouring our hearts into crafting those intricate drawings that bring Sydney’s homes and developments to life. Our drafting service is where architectural design meets technical documentation, where a draftsperson focuses on the all-important technical drawings, and an architect is a registered professional who is qualified to lead the way on design and regulatory requirements.
Our core-value is precision, and we’re not just talking about the lines, dimensions, and annotations: we mean every single one of them has to be accurate, clear and easy to get your head around. That way, you can be sure the whole process from concept to construction is a smooth one.
Architectural design is key to bringing your vision to life – and forming an integral part of the broader discipline of architecture, which isn’t just about buildings, it’s about creating a built environment that’s not confronting or banal but something that’s responsible, innovative and does justice to the people who’ll be using it.
We’ve got all bases covered when it comes to design and drafting services. Whether you’re after a new home, extension or specific plans for legal or regulatory purposes (residential, commercial or any other type of building) – we’re onto it.
Comprehensive Drafting to Get You Through Approvals
Our drafting know-how is what gets you through the approval process with flying colours. We create architectural drawings and packages that’s tailored to:
- Development Applications (DA): We’ll get you sorted for submitting to local councils, which makes the whole assessment and approval process a breeze.
- Complying Development Certificates (CDC): If you’ve got a straightforward project on your hands, we’re your one-stop-shop for getting the documentation done efficiently.
- Construction Certificate Drawings: Our drawings will guide your builder and make sure they’re complying with building codes.
And it’s not just about the big stuff, we can sort out the small stuff too, like carports, garages, crossovers, new homes or multi-unit developments – whatever your project needs, we’ll get the precise documentation to get you through the approval journey with ease.
