    Hi

    Could anyone please reccomend a draftsman and a builder with experience in extensions in melbourne. I live in dingley village.

    Also what should i expect to pay for the drafting. Job is about 30 sqm and will involve knocking out 3 brick walls (3metres width x 6 length x 3m height approx brick wall measurement to be knocked out.) to make ensuite wir and to make 2 bedrooms bigger.

    Im at ground stage of planning so any help and advice is much appreciated.

    Regards nick.

    Do you have architectural concept drawings?

    Or are you wanting the drafty to design based on your ideas from scratch?

    It cost me around $5,000 for design and construction level drawings for a small extension design. Included drawings for a small room, extending out to eaves in another room, adding two large decks/verandas and a small porch/entrance way.

    Also included the energy rating assessment.

    This was using a qualified building designer - so the price I paid was for the design as well as the drafting. Drafting alone should be a fraction of the cost I paid. The drafting was done by his staff, in house based on his concepts.

    Engineering was extra.
