ORDERING YOUR DESIGN DRAWINGS
Email us the design number you are interested in and any changes you wish to make, and we will confirm the price. We don’t charge extra for minor changes like moving a door or resizing a window, but moving walls or altering the exterior envelope of the house may incur a charge to cover the additional time spent - somewhere between 10 & 50% of the Base Design Price depending on the complexity of your changes.
Once you are happy with that, you send us your deposit, which is 1/3 of the total price. The next 1/3 is due once the order confirmation drawings or sketch plans are agreed, and the balance is due when your documents are ready for printing.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Once we have received your deposit, we will mail you back a confirming letter and our checklist for you to complete and return to us.
Then we produce and send you Order Confirmation drawings for the design you have chosen for you to approve - the floor plan or plans, four elevations of the house showing the cladding materials you have chosen, and a site plan, showing the house sited on your site - these drawings include any changes you have asked for.
We get the site information from a digital file that your registered surveyor emails to us, and you tell us where the house is to be sited.
Once you have approved these drawings, we produce the Working Drawings and Specifications for you to apply to your Council for building Consent, and to get prices from builders and suppliers.
These drawings are A1 size and include:
• Site plan (Risk Matrix, Building Code summary, boundaries, contours, driveway, house location, drainage)
• Floor plan(s) (dimensions, bracing, beam sizes, drainage, electrical)
• Elevations (claddings, door and window numbers)
• Cross sections (cross referenced to detail sheet)
• Other plans: Slab, Midfloor (if applicable), Roof Framing, Roof
• Construction details
• Window & door schedule and details
• Bathroom elevations
• Structural details (if applicable)
The Specification is in elemental format (a section for each trade), specially written for your project.
TIMING
Our target time of 4 weeks to produce Consent application documents is affected by the increasingly detailed and complex requirements of most Councils, so we now try to give you an approximate time for delivery, based on the options you have chosen and our current workload.

We use a registered structural Engineer to calculate any beams and bracing, and to check and certify our design structurally. Engineering fees are not included in our prices - we will get a firm quotation for you once you have told us of any changes that you want to make to the standard design.
These prices are for work up to Consent application and do not include printing and copying costs. Any time spent responding to Council requests for amended or additional drawings, details, product information, etc. may be charged on a time basis.
If you live outside New Zealand and want to build one of our designs in your country, we can supply dimensioned plans and elevations for you to take to a local architect or drafter to complete the working drawings and specifications. The price for this is 1/4 the price listed and of course NZ GST is not payable.
Payment can be made by mailed cheque or transfer via internet banking - please email us for our account details.
If you wish to discuss anything further, please email David or phone us on (09) 630 0319 during office hours.
