    5 customer reviews for our drafting services and building design services

    Thomas Clarke

    ADG have helped me build and design my dream home. They were super efficient and had great communication. We were always kept up to date with progress and were very lenient with our suggestions. ADG refuse to cut corners and are willing to spend more time and money to ensure everything was done professionally and according to the AS. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone wanting to renovate. Thank you so much to ADG and their responsive, friendly, experienced team

    Herodotos Karalouka

    From the initial design consultation, to the finished product, I cannot recommend Alex and the team at ADG Construction highly enough. Their industry knowledge and quality workmanship are second to none. I will certainly be using ADG again for my next renovation and will not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

    Marco Currenti

    We closed in our garage and rumpus and turn it into an additional 3 bed 2 bath home. Alex was very experienced, has a heap of great ideas and kept us in the loop with any changes. We didn’t know where to start but Alex helped through the entire process including design. Very happy with the outcome and the value added to the house.

    Callum Wishart

    I provided ADG with a tough design and they surpassed my expectations - would highly recommend for any construction job. Very friendly service as well

    Brisbane Renovation Architects FAQs

    Do I need an architect for a home renovation in Brisbane?

    Not always. In most Brisbane renovation projects, a qualified building designer can provide everything you need — from concept drawings to council-ready plans. Architects are typically required only for highly complex or large-scale builds. For most home extensions, Queenslander renovations, and internal reconfigurations, a building designer can provide the same service as a renovation architect at a more affordable rate while still delivering the same design quality and functionality. Our in-house design team consists of both architects and building designers so you’ll engage the right professional for your required scope of work.

    How do Brisbane’s local building codes and regulations impact renovation design and drafting?

    Brisbane City Council has specific planning schemes and building codes that affect how renovations can be designed and built. These cover everything from boundary setbacks, site coverage, and building height to heritage overlays and flood-prone areas. As local renovation designers, we understand how to interpret and apply these rules so your plans meet all necessary requirements the first time. This ensures faster approvals and fewer costly redesigns down the track.

    How long does the design and drafting process usually take for Brisbane home renovations?

    The timeline depends on your project’s size and complexity, but most renovation design and drafting processes take 2 to 4 weeks from concept to final plans. Smaller internal layout changes can be turned around quickly, while larger home extensions or Queenslander lift-and-build projects may require more detailed design work. We keep you updated every step of the way, so you’ll always know what stage your project is at and when your plans will be ready to submit.

    My property has a heritage overlay, can you create renovation plans to comply with Brisbane’s heritage overlay and planning schemes?

    Yes. If your property falls within a heritage overlay area or traditional building character zone, we’ll design your renovation plans to meet Brisbane City Council’s requirements while maintaining your home’s original charm. Our designers have extensive experience with Queenslanders and pre-war homes, ensuring your design blends seamlessly with existing architecture and streetscape while still achieving your modern lifestyle goals.

    Can you design renovations that work with my existing floor plan or structure?

    Absolutely. We specialise in creating renovation plans that work with what you already have, whether that means opening up your living areas, reconfiguring rooms for better flow, or extending outward or upward. By carefully assessing your current structure and layout, we design practical solutions that enhance your home’s functionality without unnecessary demolition or expense. Our goal is to make your renovation look and feel like it’s always been part of your home.

    How involved can I be during the design process?

    As involved as you’d like to be. We believe the best results come from collaboration, so we welcome your ideas, inspiration images, and feedback throughout the design phase. You’ll have opportunities to review drafts, suggest adjustments, and ask questions at every key stage. Whether you prefer to be hands-on or want us to manage everything for you, we tailor our process to suit your desired level of input and communication style.
