Approval Drawings
Submission sets prepared to local building bye-laws, so your design goes to the authority complete and consistent.
An approval set is judged on completeness and consistency. Missing dimensions, mismatched areas or a setback that doesn’t tally with the site plan are the usual reasons a file comes back.
We take your design and prepare the sanction drawings in the format your authority expects, with area calculations that reconcile across every sheet. You keep design control; we handle the drafting and the checking.
