Our Approach to Hills District Building Design
Residential Building Design & Architectural Drafting Across the Hills District
Every site brings different opportunities and constraints. Our role is to develop a residential design that responds to the property, planning requirements, your brief and the way you want to live.
We provide residential building design and architectural drafting for custom homes, extensions, renovations and other residential projects across Castle Hill and the Hills District.
Where required, we can prepare plans for DA or CDC approval and continue through to CC / Construction Certificate documentation.
The design is developed around the individual site rather than applying a standard solution to every property.
Design, Documentation & Approval
We can take your project from concept design through to the plans and documentation required for the appropriate approval pathway.
Depending on the project, this may include architectural drafting, DA or CDC documentation, consultant coordination and Construction Certificate plans.
We also coordinate the design with the information required from relevant consultants so the documentation develops as a complete package rather than as separate pieces.
Each stage is clearly defined, with the scope and required documentation established before work begins.
Our Project Experience in the Hills District
Our residential building design experience across the Hills District covers a wide range of homes and site conditions, from established suburban properties to larger acreage, sloping and bushfire-prone sites.
Each project is developed around the individual property, planning requirements and client brief, with concept design, architectural drafting and approval documentation coordinated as part of the overall design process.

Yes. Our residential work includes custom homes, knockdown rebuilds, extensions, first-floor additions, major renovations, acreage homes, duplexes, low-rise developments and other site-specific residential projects.
Can you prepare plans for council or CDC approval?
Yes. Depending on the property and proposed work, we can prepare the design and documentation for a Development Application or Complying Development Certificate pathway and coordinate the supporting consultants required for the project.
Do you prepare Construction Certificate drawings?
Yes. Where required, we can continue the project through to Construction Certificate documentation following the design and approval stages.
Do you work on difficult or sloping sites?
