from idea to realization
Professional Building Drafting Services
Accurate, coordinated drawings for residential and commercial building projects.
Sustainaspace provides professional building drafting services for new buildings, alterations, additions, fit-outs and property developments. We transform concepts, sketches and existing documentation into clear architectural drawings that support design development, consultant coordination, approvals and construction.
With more than 20 years of building and design industry experience, our team understands what builders, consultants and approval authorities need from a drawing package.
Drafting Support From Concept To Construction
Building drawings communicate the design, dimensions, materials and construction requirements of a project. Incomplete or poorly coordinated drawings can create uncertainty, approval delays, inaccurate quotations and costly changes during construction.
Our drafting service provides structured documentation appropriate to the project’s stage and intended purpose.
We can assist with:
- New residential buildings
- Commercial buildings
- Renovations and extensions
- Office and retail fit-outs
- Industrial and warehouse projects
- Mixed-use developments
- Townhouses and grouped housing
- Building upgrades
- Change-of-use projects
- As-built and existing-condition drawings
- Planning and development applications
- Building approval documentation
- Construction drawing packages
Residential Building Drafting
We prepare residential drawings for new homes, multi-residential developments, renovations and additions.
Our residential drafting service can help translate your requirements into functional plans that consider room layout, circulation, orientation, natural light, ventilation and practical construction needs.
We can work from an established design, an existing plan, a hand-drawn sketch or an early project concept.
Commercial Building Drafting
Commercial projects require drawings that coordinate architectural requirements with building services, access, safety, energy efficiency and operational needs.
Sustainaspace works with owners, developers, builders and consultants to prepare and update drawings for offices, shops, hospitality venues, medical facilities, warehouses, industrial buildings and other commercial projects.
The documentation can be tailored for concept development, approvals, consultant coordination, tendering or construction.

The required drawing package depends on the project type, scope and approval pathway. It may include:
- Site plans
- Existing-condition plans
- Demolition plans

- Building sections
- Internal elevations
- Door and window schedules
- Area calculations

- Consultant coordination drawings
- Three-dimensional views
- As-built drawings
We will review the available information and recommend a suitable documentation package before work begins.
Our Building Drafting Process
Simple, transparent and easy to follow
Project Review
We discuss the proposed work, intended use of the drawings, project stage, site conditions and required timeframe.
Information Collection
You provide the available survey, existing drawings, sketches, specifications and reference material. We identify any missing information needed to proceed.
Drafting and Documentation
We prepare the agreed drawings and coordinate the information across plans, elevations, sections and schedules.
Client Review
You review the draft documentation and provide consolidated feedback. We then complete the agreed revisions.
Final Drawing Package
The completed drawings are issued in the agreed digital formats for the next stage of the project.
Coordination With Project Consultants
Building projects often require input from several disciplines. Depending on the project, this may include structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire, access, energy and building surveying consultants.
Our drafting team can incorporate relevant consultant information into the architectural documentation and help identify inconsistencies between drawing packages.
Early coordination reduces the likelihood of conflicting details reaching the approval or construction stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Building design focuses on developing the layout, appearance, function and overall solution. Drafting converts that design into scaled technical drawings. Many projects require both services.
Yes. We can convert suitable sketches, marked-up plans and early concepts into properly scaled digital drawings.
Yes, provided the available documents are suitable and you have the right to use and modify them. Additional site information may be required if the existing drawings are incomplete or inaccurate.
Yes. We provide drafting for suitable commercial buildings, alterations and fit-out projects.
That depends on the agreed scope. We can prepare drawings for planning or building approval, but additional reports and documentation may be required from other consultants.
The cost depends on the building size, complexity, existing information and required level of documentation. Send us your project information for a tailored quotation.
Timeframes vary according to project complexity, document availability and the number of revisions. We will provide an estimated programme after reviewing the scope.
