Renovation design
& drafting — drawings builders can actually build from
Measured survey, plans, elevations, services layouts and 3D views for your apartment renovation — a drawing set that gets through strata and prices accurately. From $120/m², yours to keep and quote anywhere.
Render vs reality is where renos die
Most renovation disappointments aren't workmanship — they're a builder building from a mood board and a guess. Our drawing set exists to kill that: measured survey first, then plans, elevations, services layouts and 3D views that show the actual room, not a fantasy version.
The set is yours outright — build with us, quote it against three competitors, or keep it for later. Either way you stop paying builders to guess. The drawings article shows what a real set looks like versus a sales sketch.
What's actually included
The same list goes into your contract, line for line. If it's not here, it gets quoted separately — not invoiced quietly later.
Laser-measured existing-conditions plan — the thing every accurate quote needs and most builders skip.
IncludedDemolition and proposed floor plans with dimensions — walls in or out, doors swung, furniture placed to check clearances.
IncludedKitchen, bathroom and joinery elevations with real dimensions — bench heights, niche positions, tile setouts.
IncludedPower, lighting, plumbing and data plans — where every point lands before the electrician guesses. Pairs with our electrical scope.
IncludedPhotoreal views of key rooms — for checking the design against your expectations before it costs real money.
IncludedSubmission-ready drawings plus acoustic and waterproofing specs formatted the way committees want them.

How the job runs
Same playbook as every Apex job — measured, scheduled, reported every Friday. The about page covers the company side.
Photos of every stage land on your phone each Friday, including the hidden work before walls close.
- Measured surveyAnna's team lasers every wall, riser and bulkhead — including the ones hidden behind that impressive 90s bulkhead detail.
- Layout optionsTwo or three layout directions with honest pros and cons. Moving the kitchen riser is usually possible; moving the waste stack usually isn't worth it.
- Developed setElevations, services, joinery details, tile setouts — the sheets that turn "shaker style" into a number a joiner can cut.
- Revisions & issueTwo rounds of changes, then the set issues as PDFs you own outright. Quote it around; it only makes us look better.
What we put in, and why
What a real set contains
Existing plan, demo plan, proposed plan, flooring plan, reflected ceiling plan, electrical plan, plumbing plan, room elevations, joinery details, tile setouts, door & fixture schedules, finish schedule. Sixty-plus sheets on a full job.
Why strata loves it
Committees approve complete packs fast because there's nothing to query — acoustic ratings, waterproofing systems, waste diagrams, insurance certificates, all present. Our first-pass approval rate is 96%.
Built for building
Anna came from a drafting desk, not a sales floor — every dimension on our sheets is one a tradesperson can hold to. That's why other builders happily quote from our sets too.
