Your Local Geelong Drafting & Building Design Experts
From Concept to Completion
At Buildpoint Geelong, we turn your ideas into precise, build-ready plans. Whether it’s a home extension, renovation, new build or dual-occupancy project, our drafting team develops detailed, compliant drawings that guide your project from first concept through to final approvals.
Experienced Builder-Draftsmen
Because our Geelong draftsmen come from practical building backgrounds, your drawings are designed for real construction conditions. We understand local regulations, engineering requirements and budgets, helping you avoid delays, reduce rework and keep your project on track.
Tailored for Geelong Conditions
Geelong’s coastal climate, mixed subdivisions and changing council requirements demand thoughtful design. We create plans that respond to local conditions, heritage overlays, site orientation and block constraints, resulting in smart, buildable homes that maximise comfort, value and long-term liveability.
Fixed-Price, No Surprises
Your budget matters. With Buildpoint Geelong you’ll know your drafting and design costs upfront. We clearly scope the work and agree a fixed fee, so you’re not hit with unexpected extras halfway through. You get transparent inclusions and documentation that supports accurate build quotes.
Knock-Down, Rebuild & Tricky Sites
Love your Geelong location but not the existing house? On a sloping block, narrow frontage or awkward access? We’re used to working with challenging sites. Our team develops smart site plans and building designs that respond to levels, setbacks and overlays, turning tricky conditions into well-resolved homes.
Smarter, More Efficient Homes
Geelong’s sea breezes, sun exposure and changing seasons all affect how a home feels and performs. We focus on orientation, insulation, glazing, shading and efficient layouts so your home is comfortable year-round and easier to heat and cool. Our drafting supports strong energy ratings and practical, long-term running cost savings.
Support from Start to Finish
Building or renovating in Geelong can involve builders, surveyors, engineers, energy assessors and council approvals. We guide you through the process with clear communication, organised documentation and practical advice at every stage of your project.
Council & Permit Assistance
Geelong council and surrounding municipalities each have their own expectations and overlays. We prepare the drawings and documentation needed for planning and building permits, and we help respond to council or surveyor feedback quickly and professionally so your application doesn’t stall.
Renovations that Respect Your Lifestyle
Whether you’re opening up a living area, refreshing an older Geelong home or adding extra space for a growing family, we balance design ambitions with day-to-day practicality. Our renovation plans integrate with the existing structure, improve flow and functionality, and are created with construction methods and staging in mind.
Buildpoint Takes Care Of The Hard Stuff.
You shouldn’t have to interpret building codes, chase consultants or guess if a quote is fair. We handle the technical side: planning, approvals, documentation quality and coordination, so you get the outcome you paid for without the stress and confusion.
Planning and Approvals Handled For You
We prepare drawings, coordinate engineering and liaise with council or private building surveyors so your project keeps moving instead of sitting in someone’s inbox.
You receive clear, organised documentation that builders, surveyors and certifiers can work from without guesswork, helping to avoid unnecessary delays or rework.
Your Build, Actively Supported
We keep an eye on documentation, timelines and requested changes. You’ll know what’s happening, what has been completed and what’s coming next. No vague progress updates and no last-minute surprises hidden in the fine print.
Support After the Plans Are Done
Our relationship doesn’t end when the drafting is finished. If you need adjustments, further stages or advice on your next project, we’re still here. Think of us as your long-term building and design partner in Geelong, not a one-off provider.
Designed Smart.
Approved Fast.
Built With Confidence.
Great projects start with good drawings.
We create plans that are accurate, buildable and aligned with Victorian regulations, so your builder can price them properly, your surveyor can sign off with confidence and council can assess them without constant back-and-forth.
That means less guesswork on site, fewer “that wasn’t in the plans” moments, and a smoother path through planning and building permits.
Fully documented plans, not sketches
You receive detailed working drawings – floor plans, elevations, sections and key construction details – produced to a standard your builder can actually follow. That reduces assumptions on site and gives everyone a clear understanding of exactly what’s being built.
Council / surveyor ready
Our drafting is prepared with compliance in mind from day one: setbacks, overlooking, energy requirements, access and more. That makes Geelong planning and building permits more straightforward and helps you avoid redesign fees and delays later on.
Cost clarity for your builder
When plans are clear, quoting is cleaner. Builders don’t have to guess structure, finishes or scope, so there’s less padding “just in case”. Better documentation leads to more accurate costings and fewer budget blowouts during construction.
Support through changes
Need to move a wall, adjust a façade to suit council feedback or tweak the layout to bring the project under budget? We update the drawings properly and keep all views coordinated, so one change doesn’t create a cascade of inconsistencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
A draftsman (or draftsperson) prepares the technical drawings and documentation needed to get your building project designed, costed and built. That includes floor plans, elevations, sections and details that show how the home fits together.
For Geelong homeowners and builders, a draftsman turns your ideas into clear, accurate plans that builders, surveyors and council can actually work from.
Yes. A draftsman can design new homes, extensions, renovations, dual occupancies and townhouses.
We sit down with you to understand how you live, what you want from the home and what your site will allow. Then we design the layout, rooms, external appearance and key details, and document it in a way that meets Victorian standards and local Geelong requirements.
For most residential projects in Geelong, a qualified draftsman with building experience is more than enough. A draftsman is often a more cost-effective option for:
New homes
Extensions and renovations
Townhouses and dual occupancies
Garage conversions and smaller projects
If your project is highly complex or involves specialised design requirements, you may also choose to involve an architect. Many clients in Geelong get everything they need from a draftsman backed by real construction experience.
We provide a full range of residential drafting services, including:
New home designs and house plans
Extensions and renovation plans
Dual occupancy and townhouse design
Site plans and shadow diagrams
Planning and building permit drawings
Construction and working drawings
Amendments and updates for council or surveyors
From early concepts through to final documentation, we support your project at each stage.
Look for a draftsman who:
Has experience with projects similar to yours
Understands local Geelong council requirements
Can show examples of previous work
Communicates clearly about scope, timelines and fees
Has a background in building or works closely with builders and engineers
Buildpoint combines drafting, building design and construction experience, so your drawings are practical, compliant and ready for pricing and approvals.
Drafting fees depend on the size and complexity of the project, the level of detail required and how much support you need with permits and consultants.
Smaller renovations and simple extensions usually cost less, while multi-unit developments and more detailed designs involve more time and documentation. The easiest way to get an accurate figure is to share your Geelong project details and we’ll provide a clear, fixed quote before any work starts.
