SUMMARY – OVERALL PROCESS

HOW IT WORKS

You place your concept designs into our system by one of the following three ways:
Use our drawing facility to experiment with your design until you are happy with it
Upload your concept sketches or an existing plan for us to draw it into our system for you
Choose from one of our templates and edit it to suit until you are happy with it.
You engage the Help Desk to have your concept plans converted into full preliminary design plans.
The preliminary design plans are then used to produce the full working drawings plans set.
All additional information required to accompany the building consent application is then gathered.
The building consent application is then either made by you or us.
We deal with the council with their requests for further information until your consent is granted.
Your builder may now start.
