What services do drafters provide?
A drafter, draftsman or draftsperson can help you with the design and planning stage of your new build, renovation or other projects. They can create the plans for builders and other tradies to follow and can submit them to the council for approval on your behalf.
Drafters provide the same basic services as an architect at a more affordable cost for residential purposes.
New home
If you're building a new home, you'll need a professional to draw up plans for your approval and to provide a guide for your builders and other tradies. A drafter is a cost-effective alternative to an architect or building designer and usually works on residential projects.
They will carry out a site assessment and create preliminary designs for your review before completing more detailed technical drawings needed by trades and councils. Some drafters liaise with local councils to help the approval process along.
Hiring a drafter is a necessary step in the building process that could save you from making expensive mistakes.
Extensions and additions
Drafters aren't only needed when building a new home. If you're planning an extension or addition, these also need careful planning and detailed plans for builders to work from. You will also need plans to obtain the necessary council approvals, especially if you're making major structural changes.
Whether you're knocking through a wall, adding a room or building a granny flat, a drafter's plans will ensure that your renovation is carried out to Australian building standards. This will help ensure your new addition stands the test of time.
Plans are also important for giving you an idea of how much a project will cost and identifying areas where you could save money.
Garages
Plans are also needed if you're adding a garage to your property or making extensive renovations to an existing garage. A drafter who has extensive experience drawing up garage plans will be able to recommend the most cost-effective design and materials that complement your home.
Whether you prefer a garage that's attached to your home or a detached single or double garage, a draftsperson will discuss your needs and help you to obtain the necessary permits and development approvals, saving time and hassle.
Carports
A carport can be an economical alternative to a garage for protecting your car from the elements, but you shouldn't cut corners when it comes to planning. A well-designed carport will feel like a natural addition to your home and will add value if you decide to sell in the future.
Whether you're thinking about a single or double carport, with a roof only or fully enclosed, a professional drafter will design a functional carport that suits your needs and your home while crucially staying within your budget.
