Plans Drawn ltd

Plans Drawn Ltd was established in 1980 to offer a full design and plan drawing service. We undertake all types of new buildings, alterations and additions, remodelling and building fitouts. We liase with, or will engage, other industry consultants that may be necessary for the work. Our initial consultation is provided to you at no cost, and is where we discuss your project ideas in an open way. We prepare concept sketch's and preliminary plans, develop those initial ideas into final working drawings and specifications sufficient to obtain tenders and final building consent. We research and carry out all necessary planning which may require Resource or Land Consent from the Local Authority. Our Mission is to add a professional value and engage in partnership with our Clients to finally reach a satisfactory conclusion. A carpentry apprenticeship and building construction in Dunedin together with an interest in drawing, provided a good base when an opportunity arose to commence a drafting and design practice link with an architectural firm servicing Southern Hawkes Bay. For some 25 years we were engaged in a full variety of design work prior to continuing the practice on a permanent return to Christchurch in 2006. Building in the 21st century now means much more research, meeting changing and increasing Building Code requirements, Planning and Industry compliance. Trends towards using more renewable resources, making use of solar heating, providing maximum insulation properties, safety features, use of spaces are all now exercising many people's minds. We endeavour to keep pace with all these through industry associations’ membership and accreditation (Architectural Designers of NZ/ Licensed Building Practitioners), seminars and many trade and technical brochures.
