We Provide Quality Drafting in Brisbane

You must have a draftsman working with you from the beginning of your project to prepare your building's plans and documentation for approval from your local council. The draftsman will create a sketch of your home's existing layout to use as a starting point. From there, they will work with you to finalise the plans and ensure all the required paperwork is in order. This will save you time and potential issues later. 

When meeting with your draftsman, you should talk about things like:

• Rough cost breakdown (for plans, council & building permits etc.)
• Previous plans they have worked on, particularly for projects similar to yours
• Defining the scope of work for your build 
• Timeframe – how long will it take to draft your plans?
• How many changes can be made in the drawing stage? 
• The kind of building you want to achieve – what you want it to look like & how it will function 

You should have rough plans ready as the draftsman will be drawing based on your existing design. It's always helpful to have your ideas on paper as much as possible of before meeting with a draftsman. This way, the draftsman can better understand your scope of work, your needs, and create a plan that meets your expectations. 

Yes, a draftsman will usually liaise with other contractors to make sure that the construction project is proceeding as planned. This will involve coordinating with architects, engineers, and other professionals to ensure that all of the necessary drawings and specifications are completed on time. In some cases, the draftsman will also be responsible for preparing construction schedules and budgets.
