Draughting Services

The RBS Draughting team have been producing accurate residential working drawings across New Zealand since the inception of RBS.

Our experience across all regions means that the plans we produce are welcomed by many Building Consent Authorities (BCA), and are often recognised and acknowledged as being some of the best in the country.

Being Licenced Building Practitioners, we take pride in our work and aim to have our plans satisfy legislation, as opposed to using the BCA as a check system.

From the top down we focus on structural detail, build-ability and weather-tightness in all our homes, as these are often the single biggest investment many New Zealanders will make in their lifetime.

Best practice begins from smart design principles early in the drawing phase, thinking ahead as the building develops so that no one is backed into a corner and forced to problem solve at the last minute.

Using our custom-built, online drawing request and communication portal, we can either design your client’s investment from a brief or move straight to pricing and construction drawings based on one of your plans.

All communications, information and project progress are presented in an easy to view summary, or in full ‘job by job’ detail as you drill in further. This means you’ll never lose track of a project or wonder what stage your draughts-person is at.

Frustrations with cost and turnaround times for engineered structures within your homes? RBS partners with a large New Zealand structural engineering firm that gives us surety of design and delivery for our work - just ask us for a fee quote and try it.

The dedicated in-house consents team takes our plans, prepares all the documentation required by your regions BCA and lodges the building consent.

Once lodged, there are weekly follow-ups to ensure the application is progressing through the BCA and that they have all the information they need to make the consent easy to process.

Not every project can fit all the BCA’s District Plan rules. Where we cannot meet compliance RBS can prepare and submit Land Use Resource Consent applications, liaising with District Planners in your region as required.
