What is in a set of building drawings?
Which drawings you need depends on your project. A complete set usually includes:
- Site plan: the position of the building on the plot
- Floor plans for each storey, with dimensions
- Elevations of the existing and new situation
- Sections with heights
- Typical details where needed
For homeowners
Planning a dormer, an extension or a raised roof, or want to remove a wall? We draw it so you can use the same drawings for the permit application and for contractors' quotes. Everyone prices the same plan, so you can compare quotes fairly.
For contractors and developers
Fast delivery of permit and working drawings, with one point of contact who knows the drawings when questions come up on site.
No drawings of the existing situation?
Older homes often have no drawings, or the drawings are out of date. We first map the existing situation, so the new plan is based on the correct dimensions.
Frequently asked questions about building drawings
How long does it take to make building drawings?
That depends on the size. A dormer or simple extension is quicker than a complete renovation. The quote states when you can expect the drawings.
Can the contractor work with these drawings?
Yes. The drawings are accurate and contain the information a contractor needs to prepare a quote and build.
Can I suggest changes?
Yes. You see a draft first. We only finalise the drawings once you are happy.
