The Design Plus Drafting team listens to your needs and wants.
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.
Design Plus Drafting’s trademark homes are light-filled, open-plan living spaces that embrace a broad range of budgets.
We can help you maximise potential space and storage by designing a home that will perfectly suit your lifestyle and family dynamic.
NEW HOME DESIGN PROCESS
Our team will put together a concept plan for your new home based on our initial meeting and design brief.
The next step is to discuss any technical limitations and environmental conditions that may impact the building process.
From there we’ll tweak the design to create the architectural plans for your dream home.
If you are planning to be an owner-builder, our qualified building designers can provide you with the expertise that will support your vision, and draft plans the council will approve.
We’ve removed the mystery from building design and will create solutions that you’ll love coming home to every day.
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS
We lead you through the DA process from starting your design through to lodging all of the relevant drawings and documents with your local council. We'll take the stress out of your DA.
Complying Development Certificates
Being granted a CDC is a much speedier process than a DA. However your development must meet a specific, state-wide set of rules and regulations.

I wish I’d found these guys earlier – would have saved me a heap of hassle! They made the whole DA process seem so easy.
These guys are legit. We messed around with a bunch of other companies when we were looking to renovate, but Design Plus were with us every step of the way. From the DA to completion, they kept us informed and liaised with the builders and council on any amendments as they arose. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
These guys took away the pain of having to deal with the usual rigmarole associated with red tape myself. A welcome relief! A really great service provided by a friendly, no nonsense team. Superb. Will definitely use again !
We used the Design Plus Drafting team to come up with a creative design for an old home in Alexandria. The brief was simple, open plan living at the back of the house and plenty of storage a growing family…including a truckload of kids toys. The D+D team delivered on all fronts and the DA sailed through council. We love the design and can’t wait to starting building.
We had a very simple reno project that required plans for a DA. The team at Design plus Drafting prepped our plans and DA documents with no fuss and a fast turnaround. As a result, our DA went through without a hitch.
We couldn’t have been happier with what Jon from Design Plus Drafting was able to produce for us. His knowledge and insights were amazing and made what could be a very stressful situation into an absolute breeze. We would highly recommend Jon for any of your renovation needs.
I’ve had the most most amazing experience with Design Plus Drafting who drew up the plans for our DA and CC. Great communication, excellent service and exceptionally fast – exactly what I need as a small business owner. The DA/construction process can be quite daunting for an outsider, but their professional service and ease of interaction made it so much simpler and calmer. Highly recommended.
I have no hesitation in recommending Design Plus drafting. They were very professional when drafting the plans for my project. Jon was a pleasure to work with. While he was happy to make suggestions he was also very responsive to my ideas. He was always very prompt in responding to my communications and the plans have gone through to council with the minimum of fuss.
I cannot thank Dave, Jon and the team at Design Plus enough for the fantastic design solutions that they came with for our renovation. The whole process was easy and our DA was approved with no fuss!
We were very happy with the service from Design Plus and will definitely refer them to friends in the future. Cameron was exceptionally helpful dealing with the local council (at times directly) and making relevant amendments / additions to plans based on council requirements. Thanks Cameron for all your help!
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 accommodate 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.
These people have been terrific. Nothing was too much trouble. Ever polite and obliging with creative solutions and warm, friendly, liveable design work.
We were extremely thrilled with the service from Design Plus drafting & would definitely use the guys again in the future. Jon absolutely nailed the brief and was so professional and accommodating with making relevant changes to the plans based on our town planner’s recommendations. It’s just been a lovely & hassle free experience! Highly recommended!
I had the pleasure of recently working with Cameron at Design Plus Drafting when we embarked on a small extension. After sending numerous emails to local designers, I was most impressed that Cameron was not only the first one to call me back, he actively engaged in the discussion of what we needed and arranged a site visit that week. When on site he was super professional, knowledgeable about the Inner West Council, giving advice and suggestions about how best we should proceed. Throughout the design process Cameron was client focused, arranging meetings and taking calls from my super perfectionist husband (also in the building game) to get everything “just right”. And the result – the DA sailed through council without even a site visit. I cannot recommend Cameron and Design Plus Drafting enough, thank you.
I approached Design Plus Drafting last year because I needed a creative solution for my renovation. I had a 10 year old architectural drawing, very little budget and big ideas. I needed a Development Application package for submission to the Inner West Council, I choose Design plus Drafting because they were local to the Newtown/Marrickville area. Thanks to Cameron and Dave the whole process was quick, efficient and easy, they took the stress out of everything. I had no problems with the application and it was approved within the timeline they specified. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a DA. With minimal fuss, they tailored the plans to suit my needs. They’re professional, friendly and very easy to work with.
Our builder recommended Design Plus Drafting to us, and we were very pleased they could accommodate us in time for us to keep the ball rolling on our renovation. They were punctual and professional, but also friendly and easy to work with. We’re happy with the result.
I was really pleased with the service provided by Design Plus Drafting. Cameron was great to work with. All of his assistance was helpful and much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Design Plus Drafting!
I have received, just yesterday, approval from Inner West Council to proceed with the repairs to my front fence in Ashfield. They were very impressed with your drawings and especially the Statement of Environmental Effects and because I had everything ready they were able to process the application quicker than usual. I would like to thank you for all your help and if anyone asks me to recommend a drafting company in the future, I will certainly recommend Design Plus Drafting. Regards and again many thanks.
Design Plus Drafting completed the drawings for my renovation. They were great to work with throughout the entire design process, providing an efficient and professional service.
Thank you so much for all the drawings you provided for our house renovation in Mosman. The urgency at which you turned it around was so refreshing. Your team arrived on time and were so detailed that I have already recommended you to my friends that are also renovating. The council approved the plans really quickly also and I have you and your team to thank. I would have no reservation in using your team again and we will most likely do shortly.
We loved our experience with Design Plus Drafting. Right from the beginning, Cameron and Dave were super-helpful and completed everything to deadline! For the quality of the drafting work and the service we received, the value was outstanding.
