2 bedroom bach plans for consent

Draughting Services Whangamata, Coromandel

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

5.0

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
