2 bedroom bach plans for consent

Draughting Services Whangamata, Coromandel

5.0

We are so thankful we met Steven. He listened to everything we needed and made the whole process simple and smooth. He turned drawings around quickly and handled council hiccups — including two design changes — with no stress. He guided us through submission and answered all RFIs fast. We’ve worked with many architects, but Steven is now our go-to for future projects and who we’ll recommend to friends and clients.

Design, planning & cost estimate to convert our garage to sleepout

Draughting Services Panmure, Auckland

5.0

I was a bit worried at first about dealing with someone I hadn’t met personally, but I read the company reviews and found many positive comments. I also found good feedback from a previous client who had similar requirements for a garage conversion. The process was smooth, and my queries were always addressed properly, no matter how small. This was really important for me, as I’m not very knowledgeable about layout and consent. Keep up the good work, Don!

Add in L shape wall to drawings

Draughting Services Howick, Manukau

We worked with Kelly from 1100 Architecture to add a non–load-bearing wall to our property plans and submit them to council. She was efficient, knowledgeable, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Her drawings were clear and accurate, and the turnaround time for both the plans and council approval was impressively quick. Highly recommend Kelly for prompt, professional architectural work.

I cannot speak more highly of Simon. He made the whole process fun and his knowledge is vast. He was able to problem solve all the crazy ideas I had and bring them into fruition. He was quick and thorough. Got our plans through council without a single RFI. Our builder was very impressed, as with many of our other contractors. Simon communicates well with everyone meaning the project runs so smooth. Just such a positive experience!

Working with Nico of Backcountry Studios has been a great experience. I can't fault his work and commitment to getting us the result we wanted. We were able to get exemption from building consent due to the thorough application that Nico put together. There was open communication throughout and Nico was flexible with timelines when we needed to pause the process. Thank you Nico

Expertise That Stands Up to the Elements

Designing a home in Banks Peninsula requires a deep understanding of the local conditions and unique architectural considerations. The area’s exposure to varying winds and temperatures necessitates thoughtful material selection to ensure durability and home integrity. Experienced architects and designers know how to use time-tested materials like wood and stone, which not only fit the local aesthetic but also stand firm against the elemental challenges.

Eco-friendly and Energy-efficient Designs

In a place as naturally beautiful as Banks Peninsula, many homeowners are opting for eco-friendly, sustainable designs. Architects and designers in the region are equipped to create homes that align with these principles. From implementing rainwater collection systems to integrating solar panels, these professionals are adept at designing residences that minimise environmental impact while maximising energy efficiency.

Comprehensive Project Management

Project management is a significant part of an architect’s role in New Zealand. When you hire a local architect or designer, you’re not just getting someone who draws up plans. These professionals will manage the entire construction process, ensuring everything aligns with the design intent and stays within budget. Their hands-on approach includes frequent site visits and ensuring all required permits and documentation are in order.

Customisation to Suit Your Lifestyle

Every home should reflect the lifestyle and needs of its inhabitants. In the Banks Peninsula area, this often means customising designs to blend with the native landscape and adopting prevalent styles like colonial bungalows. Don’t hesitate to ask potential architects and designers for examples of their previous work that demonstrate similar customisations and styles.

Pre-project Research and Planning

Before jumping into a project, conducting thorough research is crucial. Understanding the specific requirements of your site, such as soil fertility and surrounding infrastructure, can greatly influence the design. Experienced architects and designers will take the time to conduct a comprehensive site assessment and environmental impact analysis to tailor the project to your needs.

Transparent Communication and Cost-estimation

Open and regular communication with your architect or designer is vital for a successful build. These professionals provide clear cost-estimations based on factors like materials and labour, ensuring no surprises along the way. By keeping the lines of communication open, they can quickly address any issues that arise, maintaining the project’s momentum and integrity.
