Person reviewing an architectural drawing on a laptop.

This is where designs get lost—in the gap between what you approved and what actually gets built. Our technical documentation leaves nothing to interpretation. Every junction, every material, every detail is specified so contractors build what you signed off on, not their own version of it.

Where good designs get lost

The gap between what you approved and what gets built is where projects go wrong. A vague detail becomes the contractor’s interpretation. A missing schedule becomes a variation order. Our technical documentation leaves nothing to interpretation, so what you signed off is what gets built.


What technical detailing includes

Construction working drawings at a level a site team can build from. Technical specifications for every material and system. Door, window and finish schedules so nothing is ordered twice or forgotten. Joinery and detail design down to the junctions people actually touch. SANS 10400 compliance, including the energy requirements of 10400-XA that trip up so many submissions.


Why contractors and quantity surveyors like our drawings

Our documentation is BOQ-ready. Accurate specs, minimal variations, no surprises at tender stage. Structural coordination is clean because the architectural and engineering sets are checked against each other before they leave the studio. That is why engineers, project managers and QSs we work with keep coming back.


Documentation on its own

You do not need to appoint us for the full project. If you have a concept from another designer, or an old set of plans that needs to be brought up to standard for council or tender, we can produce the technical package on its own.


Get a quote

Send us your concept drawings or sketches and we will scope the documentation package, timeline and fee. Most residential packages are turned around in 6 to 10 weeks.
