Remedial Documents

From concept to building permit drawings for new dwelling projects.

Inaccurate plans can cost you a lot of money and time. It is important to get “high quality” working drawings from the beginning. We check our documents with attitude and pride, which leads to issuing of accurate plans for simpler and smoother construction process on site.

 

Re-draw is always our approach in dealing with original CAD files containing errors. In most cases, drawing from scratch takes less time than amending and fixing up existing CAD drawings.

Common errors found with remedial work:

Parapet height shown too low to conceal roof structure

Head height clearance not as per BCA/NCC especially under the staircase

Non-standard construction technique used

Not complying with Rescode or MCP

Ground Floor, First Floor staircase not lining up

Wrong dimensions on plans

Driveway vehicle gradient is too steep

Non-practical access space within wet areas

Lack of details and sections

Poor CAD technique leading to drafting errors

Site cut, earthworks on sloping site not drawn accurate

Uncoordinated (discrepancies) between floor plans, elevations, sections & internals

This service is very common among our partner builders, where clients bring in drawings with significant issues on plans, or they simply want to impose more accurate plans.

 

We analyse all the issues presented to us based on construction technique & regulations. We also issue a list of adjustments we have made to the drawings or recommendations for re-work.
