We provide drafting services across Tasmania that turn your design into clear, accurate plans ready for approval and pricing.
Rushed or unclear drawings cause delays, approval knockbacks and pricing you cannot rely on. When your plans lack detail, builders quote with guesswork and councils send them back. That leaves you stuck, out of pocket and unsure whether your project will move at all.
We produce detailed, accurate drafting that gives your project a solid foundation. Every drawing is prepared with the approvals and the builder in mind, so nothing slows you down later. You get plans clear enough for smooth approvals and reliable, comparable pricing.
We had no idea where to start with our new home and Strait Design made the whole thing feel simple. They designed to our budget from day one and kept us informed the whole way through. Could not fault them.
After a bad experience elsewhere we were nervous, but this team told us the truth about timelines and cost upfront. No surprises and no excuses. Our plans were build ready exactly when they said they would be.
The approvals process terrified us but Strait Design handled all the council side so we did not have to. Everything was explained in plain English and we always knew what was happening next. Brilliant service.
We wanted a double storey family home and were worried about blowing the budget. They shaped the design around what we could actually spend and it still turned out beautiful. Would recommend to anyone building.
As a small developer I needed speed through approvals and accurate early costing. Strait Design delivered both. The documentation was clear enough for builders to price it properly the first time around.
What stood out was the communication. We never had to chase for updates because they always let us know where things sat. Dealing with one team from start to finish made the whole process so much easier.
Over 35 years of experience really shows. They picked up issues early that we never would have and saved us money down the track. It genuinely felt like they had our best interests at heart the entire time.
We are first home builders and had a hundred questions. The team was patient, down to earth and never once made us feel silly for asking. Our build ready plans came through exactly as promised. Thank you.
From the first call to the finished plans the experience was exactly what they said it would be. Trade qualified people who actually know planning and building inside out. Honestly worth every single cent.
With us, your design and drafting are handled by the same experienced team, so nothing gets lost between them. Your ideas flow straight into precise, build ready documentation without messy handovers. That keeps your project consistent, accurate and moving from concept to approval.
Your design is reviewed by people who build homes for a living. Get practical input on structure, materials, thermal performance and cost before decisions are locked in.
Stage one finishes with a Project Budget Alignment Estimate based on real project data and current construction rates, so you can check the design against your budget before it goes to council.
Your design fees, consultant allowances and council costs are set out upfront. We explain provisional costs and discuss any additional requirements with you before proceeding.
We guide your selections and document them in your construction drawings, giving builders a clear basis to price the fixtures, fittings and finishes you want.
We coordinate surveyors, engineers, energy assessors, your building surveyor, council and TasWater where required, keeping your pre-construction work moving through one team.
Regular, clear updates explain where your project is at, what comes next and anything we need from you, so you can make decisions with confidence.
We draft house plans that are clear enough for accurate, comparable pricing and smooth approvals. Every detail is documented so your builder knows exactly what to quote and what to build. You engage the right builder with confidence, not guesswork, and avoid costly surprises later.
Design and drafting should never come with vague pricing or hidden extras, so we are upfront from the start. We give you clear costs before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying for. You approve the scope, we deliver the plans and there are no nasty surprises.
Our drafting services turn your design into clear, accurate plans ready for approvals and for pricing. We prepare the detailed drawings your council and your builder both need, with nothing left vague. Because our design and drafting sit together, your ideas carry through to documentation without gaps. You end up with plans you can genuinely rely on.
Every project moves at its own pace, but our process is built to keep your drafting progressing steadily. We give you a realistic timeline at the start and keep you updated as your plans move forward. Handling design and drafting together keeps things efficient, with fewer handovers and delays. You will always know what stage you are at and what comes next.
To begin, we need a sense of your project, your site if you have one and any existing plans or ideas. If you already have a design, we can move straight into drafting house plans that are accurate and approval ready. The more detail you can share up front, the smoother the process will be. We will ask the right questions along the way, so nothing important is missed.
Yes, we regularly work from existing concepts, rough sketches or earlier plans and turn them into precise documentation. We will review what you have, flag anything that needs resolving and draft it properly. Where your ideas need refining first, our design and drafting service can handle both. That way you end up with plans that hold up at council and with builders.
Changes are a normal part of design drafting, and we manage them carefully as your plans develop. We talk through how any change affects your timeline and your costs before we proceed. Keeping the design and the drafting with one team means updates flow through cleanly. You stay in control of every decision until your plans are finalised.
You receive accurate, build ready house plans and the documentation needed for approvals and pricing. Your drawings will be clear enough for builders to quote reliably and comparably. If something needs solving, we solve it, rather than passing blame elsewhere. From there you move ahead with confidence in your timeline and your costs.
