How Does the Residential Drafting Process Work?

Plan Vision follows a clear, structured process so you always know what to expect at every stage.

1. Free on-site consultation. A Plan Vision team member visits your property to understand your goals, review site conditions, and discuss your design brief.
2. Site survey and data collection. The team measures and documents the existing site or dwelling so that all plans are built on accurate information.
3. Design development meeting. Working from the survey data and your brief, Plan Vision develops your design concept and discusses options with you before drafting begins.
4. CAD and 3D drafting. Using modern CAD and 3D technology, the team produces detailed, professional plans that include full 3D views so you can see how your home will look before it is built.
5. Council submission and approval support. Plan Vision prepares and lodges your application, organises BASIX certification and any required consultant reports, and liaises with Newcastle City Council or the relevant certifier through to approval.

This end-to-end support means you have one point of contact from the first site visit through to the final approval notice.
