Bringing Architectural Ideas to Life
Architectural drafts are detailed plans that provide comprehensive information about the design, including:
Layout
Dimensions
Building materials
Construction methods
Structural elements
Electrical and plumbing systems
Other technical specifications involved in the building project
Our architectural draughting services will transform your ideas into actionable plans. We begin with an initial meeting to understand your ideas, lifestyle, and how you want your new home or additional space to look and feel. Based on your briefing and budget, we create a conceptual design that considers territorial authority and regulatory requirements related to the site. This process helps you visualise the design and explains the project's practical requirements to builders and other contractors involved.

Once you approve the concept design created by our North Shore architectural designers, we develop a comprehensive set of documents to facilitate the building consent application process. This stage also allows for tendering, negotiation of a building contract, and the commencement of construction work. We ensure compliance with resource consent conditions, the New Zealand Building Code, and relevant NZ Standards.
