Posted on Google Liam CollinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Canberra Drafting and Approvals on multiple jobs now and couldn’t be happier with the service. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. They are very accommodating during the design stage and happy to share their knowledge and experience to refine ideas and concepts. The approvals process is straightforward, stress-free and efficient as they take care of everything. I will be using Canberra Drafting on future jobs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality drafting and approval services.Posted on Google JASON GAUGHRANTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Hi Jason, thanks for the review! Pleasure working with you.Posted on Google Owner Builder Granny FlatsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Obtaining approvals in the ACT and NSW regions is by no means a simple process, but contracting Canberra Drafting and Approvals to draw the plans, arrange BASIX, and liaise with certifiers certainly alleviates much of the stress.

Hi Seraya, thanks for that! All the best with the proejct.Posted on Google ApplapsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable, would definitely recommend - I called for some basic advice expecting a price, and they basically gave me all the answers for free over a call which resolved my issues. I've since decided to engage them to take over some updates on my plans, you won't regret.
