Our Services
AS BUILT
At Measure and Draw, we specialize in producing highly accurate as-built plans using laser measurement of existing residential and commercial buildings. These detailed plans form the foundation for renovations, extensions, or compliance documentation, including site plans, drainage, floor layouts, elevations, foundation, and roof plans. Our focus on precision ensures that every aspect reflects the true structure, minimizing issues during design or consent. We also partner with leading architecture firms across Auckland to deliver plans that meet the highest standards of accuracy and professionalism.
CONCEPT
Our team transforms your ideas into clearly defined architectural concepts. Whether you’re considering a renovation, extension, or reconfiguration, we guide you through the early design stages, helping refine the layout and functionality of your space. Through collaboration and expert drafting, we create concept plans that reflect your vision while meeting council expectations — laying the groundwork for a smooth path toward consent and construction.
RESOURCE CONSENT
We prepare clear, compliant design documentation tailored to meet Auckland Council’s resource consent requirements. From height-to-boundary calculations to shading diagrams and planning reports, we handle all aspects of the consent process. Our understanding of local regulations and streamlined approach helps avoid delays — ensuring your project moves forward with confidence and clarity.
BUILDING CONSENT
Once your concept is approved, we develop full sets of detailed drawings and documentation for building consent. This includes specifications, construction details, and coordination with engineers or other consultants as needed. Our thorough approach ensures your plans are build-ready, code-compliant, and aligned with your design intent — giving your builder everything they need to deliver with confidence.
