Frequently Asked Questions
A draftsman prepares the technical drawings that builders and contractors use to construct homes and extensions. These plans are essential for obtaining permits and ensuring the project complies with local regulations.
You might be surprised to learn this, but houses are generally not designed by architects. Why not? Surely architects are great at designing buildings? While that’s true, only about 2% of houses are actually designed by architects. Architects are excellent at generating building design concepts for large projects like shopping centres and residential towers, often working with a team of draftsmen. However, for a new home or house extension, a building designer that is registered has the knowledge and experience to produce first-class designs.
