For Tradespeople

Your clients need planning. We handle it for you.

As a tradesperson, your job is to build. Ours is to make sure your clients have the permissions, plans, and approvals they need to let you get on with it.

The Problem

Planning hold-ups cost you time and money.

You've quoted the job, your client is ready to go — then planning gets in the way. Applications take too long. Drawings aren't right. Building control hasn't been sorted. The project stalls, and you're left waiting.

We work directly with tradespeople and their clients to remove that bottleneck entirely. One call to us and the planning side is covered — start to finish.

What We Do For You

A planning partner you can rely on.

Whether you refer your clients to us or bring us in as part of your service, we handle everything so the project keeps moving.

Architectural Drawings

Accurate, professional plans drawn up to the standard required for planning and building control submissions. No back and forth with a separate architect.

Planning Applications

We prepare and submit the full application on behalf of your client — managing all council correspondence until a decision is reached.

Building Control Plans & Submissions

Full building control drawings and submissions handled by us, so your client is compliant and you can start work with confidence.

Planning Appeals

If a previous application was refused, we build the appeal case and manage the process — giving the project the best possible chance of getting back on track.
