Client Reviews

Rosie Wallace2024-04-08Great team and service. They were prompt with my request, stress free, and super helpful with the design phase. The team lodged and tracked my job for me. Could not recommend Canberra Drafting and Approvals more.
Georgia Lucas2024-04-06Used Canberra Drafting for a new granny flat. The design was great and took my current house into account. They recommended a great builder, and I'm very happy with the final product.
Admin SimpleSitePlans2024-03-03Great knowledge about the approvals system, and helps us out with our more complex jobs. They provide us support for jobs such as subdivisions, unit titling, secondary residences, etc. Can't fault the service.
Admin PlusD Engineering2024-02-28Canberra Drafting and Approvals are quick to turn around plans and building designs. We’ve engineered many of their designs and the finished products have turned out great. Highly recommend Canberra Drafting and Approvals.
