Drafting & Consenting

We begin with a conversation to understand your project, what you want to achieve and what documentation will be required.

Key areas include:

• Understanding the proposed work and your requirements
• Reviewing existing plans, drawings or sketches
• Discussing materials, construction and design preferences
• Identifying known site or project constraints
• Establishing building consent and documentation requirements
• Confirming the scope, process and next steps

We develop your project into clear and accurate architectural drawings and construction documentation, tailored to the requirements of your project.

Key areas include:

• Site and location plans
• Floor plans and room layouts
• Elevations and building sections
• Construction details where required
• Schedules, notes and specifications
• Existing and proposed drawings
• Coordination of relevant engineering and consultant information

We prepare and submit the building consent application, manage the documentation, and liase with council through the entire process, taking care of all the administrative and bureaucratic steps on your behalf.

Key areas include:

• Preparing the building consent documentation package
• Lodging the application with council
• Coordinating with engineers and other consultants where required
• Responding to council requests for further information (RFIs)
• Making amendments to drawings and documentation where required
• Working through the consent process toward approval

Once building consent is granted, we help ensure the final documentation is coordinated and ready to support construction.

Key areas include:

• Incorporating approved consent amendments
• Finalising drawings and documentation
• Providing the completed documentation for construction
• Clarifying drawings or documentation where required
• Liaising with the builder or other project participants as needed
