We didn't end up using CH Design but that was only because we found another design that we liked. Chang was very professional and prompt with his plans and costs. He was the cheapest architect out of all of our options, so I would recommend him. All the best Chang!

This was a massive undertaking and Sam and his team were absolutely incredible to deal with throughout. We were kept well informed every step of the way and each unanticipated challenge was managed swiftly and professionally. Sam is an exceptional communicator and we can't recommend him highly enough for his expertise, workmanship and project management. We'd definitely work with Skinner & Skinner again. Photos are just some of the project.

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

Draughting Services Browns Bay, North Shore

5.0

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. Kevin was super responsive and helpful in guiding us through the process. He took the time to consult with the Council by phone before moving forward with the formal application. He tried his best to keep our cost as low as possible, which is greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Kevin!!!

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!

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.
