FAQ About Design and Documentation

Our focus is to listen to our clients, understand their needs and provide the exceptional level of service.

Who do i speak to first, the designer or the builder?

A very common question! You need to speak with a building designer / draftsman first before engaging a builder for a quote. Whilst a builder can give you some vague costs without plans, many prefer not to quote or even discuss a building project until they can at least view some concept plans.
What is Building Drafting?

Building drafting is the process of creating drawings and plans to turn a concept or idea into a viable and feasible plan. This includes pictorial images of buildings, interiors, details, or other items and requirements that need to be built. Without these plans, your idea won't be able to come to fruition, and the builders completing your build won't know what or how they need to complete your project. And that is where we step in. We can design and draft a complete sketch of your concept, and we will draw it to scale and include all of the accurate measurements and details you'll need to begin your project.
How much does it cost for design plans and documents?

At Davo Building & Inspections we provide a fully itemised upfront fixed cost per design project. This detailed quote will outline each step of our process along with a timeline which highlights important invoice dates. There won't be any suprise invoices or additional hidden fee's with our team, we pride ourselves on our transparency and value for money. An old school rule in our industry was to allow between 3-10% of build costs for a building design fee. We do not subscribe to this theory (especially since material costs have sky-rocketed) and you will find our quotes are both extremely competitive and offer great value for service, leaving you pleasently suprised. We will also provide you with accurate estimates regarding site surveys, engineering, certification and town planning if required.
How long does the entire design process take?

Whilst no two design projects are the same, the Davo Building & Inspections team will aim to have your complete design and documentation finalised within 4-5 months. Many projects are finished quicker than this, however some take longer which is often down to owner in-decision, hold ups with engineering and certification or town planning requirements.
