Services
Based in Sydney's Inner West in the village-like suburb of Stanmore, Design Plus Drafting provides residential, commercial and corporate clients with a flexible approach to building design. We work with Revit (3D) software to provide the plans and images you need to review your project, or to submit to the relevant authorities.
The Design Plus Drafting team will lead you through the DA process from starting your design through to lodging all of the relevant drawings and documents with your local council. With over 300 successful Development Applications lodged with councils throughout NSW we'll look after all of the hard work and take the stress out of renovating or building your new home.
Whether you need a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) or Development Application (DA) for your project depends on several factors, including: boundary setbacks, lot size and type of street frontage. As a rule of thumb, less complex new builds and renovations to existing properties tend to comply to CDC codes, while a challenging site and ambitious build will most likely require a DA.
Does your house feel tired? Designing a new home on your existing land can change the way you and your family live for the better. We take time to understand the way you live, bringing our design knowledge and ingenuity to every home design project. We also understand that the design of your new home must ensure maximum return on investment, while staying on budget and ensuring that we meet all your requirements.
Would you love a garden office for sunny days working from home, a rumpus space for teenage kids, or self-contained accommodation for family or tenants? Also known as a 'secondary dwelling', a granny flat can likely be certified as a Complying Development without the need for a development application, thanks to the State Environment Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) passed in 2009.

The Design Plus Drafting team, particularly David N, were fabulous in getting our plans to reflect exactly what we want and getting us through the complying development process. When the Sydney Water tap-in approval process got complicated, David patiently directed us through every step. I definitely recommend and would use them again.

Dave Star and his team at Design Plus Drafting are the best at what they do! As a builder it is crucial that the drawings are clear and precise and they do just that. They go above and beyond to meet their clients needs and all I’ve heard are great things.
It has been great working on their projects thus far and would recommend them to anyone looking to do a renovation.

We have used Design Plus Drafting to design and create garages for our Strata unit block. Cameron listened to what all the owners wanted and was able to accomodate all our wishes in line with the individual unit entitlements. He kept us up to date and altered the plans and has submitted everything to council in a timely manner. We are looking forward to the construction to begin and have recommend Design Plus Drafting to a number of friends already.

I can't recommend Cameron and Chris from Design Plus Drafting highly enough. They achieved what I always thought would be impossible, which was to get council approval for a driveway and carport on my property,. Cameron came out to my house to make the initial inspection as early as he could when I explained the urgency of the job; Cameron and Chris were very prompt with communication, super easy to work with, communicated and liaised with council on my behalf and kept me updated every step of the way, and they were very reasonably priced. This result has meant so much in terms of being able to
