Gardner Design and Drafting works closely with its sister company, Gardner Construction, to ensure that your project stays within your budget. Initial design concepts are created in collaboration with the client. Once a preferred layout is chosen, the project is costed by Gardner Construction. This process takes place before final design decisions are made, so you can see whether your proposed plans are within budget or if adjustments are necessary to align with your financial constraints. This approach allows for informed decision-making and helps prevent costly surprises during the construction phase.

Gardner Design and Drafting offers assistance in obtaining council approval for your project. Our team will research all relevant rules, guidelines, and limitations pertaining to your individual project to determine whether it requires a Complying Development Certificate (CDC) or a Development Application (DA). We can then lodge the necessary documentation to the council on your behalf and provide support throughout the approval process. Additionally, post-council approval, Gardner Design and Drafting can assist with obtaining Construction Certificate approvals prior to the commencement of construction.
