Fixed price carport, deck, patio, room extension, and granny flat plans for Brisbane homeowners. Council ready drawings delivered digitally, no site visit required for most projects.

Plan Draft in Brisbane

Specialist residential drafting for Brisbane homes.

Plan Draft works with Brisbane homeowners across the inner south, inner north, and surrounding suburbs to produce fixed price, approval ready drawings for standard residential additions. From Annerley to Aspley, Carindale to Chapel Hill, if you're within Greater Brisbane we service your area.

Brisbane City Council (BCC) administers building approvals across most of Greater Brisbane. Carports, decks, patios, and room extensions typically require a building approval from a private building certifier before construction begins. Our drawings are prepared to meet BCC and standard National Construction Code requirements.

All drawings are delivered digitally. You receive a PDF ready for lodgement with your certifier, no delays for postage or courier.

Brisbane FAQs

Common questions from Brisbane homeowners.

Do I need Brisbane City Council approval for a carport or deck?

Yes, carports, elevated decks, covered patios, and room extensions require a building approval within the Brisbane City Council area. Applications are typically processed by a private building certifier rather than BCC directly. Our drawings are prepared to the standard required for a BCC area approval application.

What is the Brisbane City Plan 2014 and does it affect my project?

The Brisbane City Plan 2014 is Brisbane City Council's planning scheme. It governs what can be built, where, and under what conditions, including setbacks, heights, and overlay requirements. Properties in character overlay areas, flood affected zones, or near key transportation corridors may have additional requirements. We flag any overlay considerations that apply to your property at enquiry stage.

My property is in a character overlay area. Can I still get a carport or deck?

Yes, in most cases. Brisbane's character overlay areas have specific design requirements. For example, carports in traditional building character areas must generally be set back from the street frontage. These requirements affect the design and placement of your structure but don't prevent construction. We'll identify any applicable overlay requirements when you enquire.

How long does a Brisbane City Council building approval take?

Most Brisbane homeowners use a private building certifier rather than lodging directly with BCC. A private certifier can typically assess a straightforward residential addition within 5–15 business days of receiving a complete application package. BCC direct lodgement takes considerably longer, often 4–8 weeks.
