Getting Trent involved in our renovation was hands down the best decision we made. We were completely stuck on how to rework our layout, but Trent came in and quickly figured out the perfect design solution. He took all our ideas on board and transformed them into a plan that not only made sense but maximised the space in ways we hadn’t even considered. His expertise, creativity, and eye for detail made the whole process smooth and exciting.

FAQs – Drafter Hampton (Vic.)
Do I need a drafter or an architect for my Hampton project?
For most home renovations, extensions, or smaller new builds in Hampton, a drafter is often the most cost-effective choice. Drafters provide accurate plans that meet council requirements and keep builders on track. An architect may be more suitable for complex or highly bespoke projects, but for everyday residential work, a drafter is usually all you need.
How much does a drafter cost in Hampton, VIC?
Drafting costs vary depending on the size and complexity of your project. Smaller jobs like carports or extensions may be quoted at a flat rate, while larger projects are often charged per hour or as a percentage of the build cost. On average, homeowners in Hampton can expect professional drafting to be more affordable than architectural services, while still delivering high-quality plans.
Can a drafter help with council approval in Bayside City Council?
Yes. A key part of a drafter’s role is preparing plans that meet Bayside City Council’s standards. This includes ensuring your drawings are compliant and ready for submission. Having clear, accurate plans reduces the risk of costly delays during the approval process.
How long does drafting take for a typical Hampton renovation or new build?
Turnaround times depend on the project, but most residential drafting in Hampton can be completed within 1–3 weeks. Larger or more complex builds may take longer. Working with a local drafter ensures faster communication, quicker site visits, and plans designed to meet council timelines.
