Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between drafting and building design?
Drafting is the technical process of preparing precise construction drawings used for building approval and construction. Building design, on the other hand, encompasses the broader creative and functional planning of a space — how it flows, looks and works. A building designer does both: they plan the layout, form and function of a space and also produce the technical drawings needed for council submission and construction.
Do I need a building designer for a renovation?
Yes, in most cases, especially if you're making structural changes, adding rooms or modifying layouts. A building designer ensures your renovation is well planned, safe and compliant with regulations. They’ll also help you avoid issues with drainage, lighting, ventilation and overall flow — important details that make a big difference in everyday living and council approval.
How much input do I have in the design process?
You should expect to be highly involved. Good building designers work collaboratively, taking your needs, style and budget into account. Your input shapes the overall concept, layout, materials and features. The process usually involves an initial consultation, concept designs, revisions and final working drawings. It’s a partnership between your vision and the designer’s expertise.
