Comprehensive House Drafting Services for Our Melbourne Clients
Drafting services, also known as technical drawing or architectural drafting, is a crucial step in the home design process translating your dream custom home designs into a tangible, workable blueprint. It’s where we can fine-tune ideas, visualise structures, and refer back to them during each and all construction phases.
With precision, expertise, and an eye for innovation, our dedicated team of draftspeople at Leneeva Homes work collaboratively with our clients and custom builders, ensuring every line drawn aligns with the homeowner’s vision and meets the standards of architectural excellence. It’s a strategic process that anticipates and addresses potential challenges in construction, considering aspects such as the site’s topography, the local climate, and the intended functionality of each space. By leveraging the latest in drafting technology combined with decades of hands-on experience, we create plans that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The Stepping Stones to Success for a Custom Home Design in Melbourne
Over the years of delivering successful, high-standard projects for all our clients in Melbourne, Leneeva Homes has refined the process to seven simple steps to success when building your home.
This allows us to deliver full transparency from start to finish and ensures we deliver on your exact requirements and budget.
Our Seven Steps to a Custom House Design with Your Builder
- Project brief: This is where your custom builder will get to know you, your vision and your requirements for your construction. This is where we ensure everything you envisage for your property becomes possible against your budget and finishes expectations.
- Pre-contract house drafting services: This is where your ideas begin to materialise, with your site investigated and surveyed, along with a concept plan drafted taking into account your ideas from the project brief.
- Concept review: This is a step in the process where we review the concept design against your ideas and compare different options to determine which is right for you, whilst reviewing whether the estimated cost is within your budget.
- Estimate review: This is where we ensure that your requirements and budgets align, ensuring there is no cost blowout down the construction phases and setting formal targets to ensure you get your dream home for the right price. It is also at this stage that you will visit our interior designer to begin working on the finishes of your home in more detail.
- Quotation and plan review: Following the estimate review, we can put together a formal quote for building your home (with no surprises later on), and we can go over the plan one last time to double-check that no stone has been left unturned, before finalising drawings and engineering.
- Pre-contract: This is the first step of the contract process where you review all the documentation associated with the contract signing before contracts are prepared.
- Contract signing: Formal signing of contracts and documentation, which then enables for a building permit to be applied for and, upon issue, construction to begin.
Leneeva Homes can also assist with specialised elements of building your home, depending on your circumstances and requirements, including:
- Drafting appointments: Not applicable to pre-designed custom home design projects
- Interior Design vision session: A session with our interior design partners that can help you design the perfect interior for your tastes, personality and requirements.
- Interior Design selection: The final choices with our interior designer so that it will all be ready when you move into your new home.
- Electrical selection: Do you have specialised electrical requirements? We can arrange a sit down with our partner to ensure this is all factored into the construction process.
