Planning drawings explain the proposed form, layout and appearance so the planning authority can assess the application. Technical information resolves how the design can be built and coordinated.
Ask each practice which drawings, specifications, consultant coordination and application services are included. A planning-only fee should not be compared directly with a full technical package.
Before requesting proposals
- Explain the stage you have reached.
- Share existing surveys and approvals.
- Ask what is included and excluded at each stage.
- Confirm who coordinates structural and other specialist design.
Requirements depend on the project and jurisdiction. Ask your appointed professional to explain what your project needs.
