Calvin was great to work with - he conducted a site visit and had the draft plans with us/ lodged to council in just over a week. He also had suggestions on how to optimise the use of space and has been extremely accessible when we've had questions from builders. Highly recommend!

Very happy with David’s work, communication and professionalism. It was not a simple process but David provided suggestions and feedback on several issues. Concluded negotiations with the city council with a very satisfactory outcome. Would not hesitate in recommending David for drafting and local authority consent applications.

DGI is brilliant. Darren understood the scope, visited the site, took his time to understand what we were trying to achieve, considered the unique complexities of the job, then proceeded to deliver a great design, and follow up service with the council to get us to the point of consent approval to build. Couldn't be happier with the service he provided.

Draftsperson / Designer – Relocated Building & Change of Use (Whanganui)

Draughting Services Castlecliff, Whanganui

5.0

Steve was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was always willing to work with my ideas, nothing was ever a problem, and he did an excellent job bringing my vision to life and getting it ready for consent. While communication could be a little slow at times (largely in part due to the council processes), it was always clear and helpful when he responded. Overall, I’m very happy with the outcome and would happily work with him again.

Very happy with Andy and his team. Meeting contractors was daunting, straight away we just got that feeling that BuildingLab were the right fit for us. Andy was very quick to get all the subtrades in on the one day to look at the job which gave us confidence that he had built a very strong and reliable team. Communication during the renovation was never an issue Andy was always quick to reply or respond to the many questions that popped up along the way. 100% will choose BuildingLab again

Residential Draftsman Wanted – Bathroom & WC Layout Plans for Council Submission

Draughting Services Browns Bay, North Shore

Highly recommend Hayley based on our experience with her thus far in lodging for BC. Clear communicator, up front with all costs and where her work was at as we went back and forth. Was happy to make recommendations, guide us through the various trades needed and often helped us chase others up to keep the ball rolling. Was great having her explain things to me in a way that makes sense to someone not in the construction industry.

Kevin has been very kind and patient with us. This is our first time working on this kind of home project and we had many questions.

He tried his best to keep our cost as low as possible, which is greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Kevin!!!
