    E19. How do you know you are getting quality drawings?

    E19. How do you know you are getting quality drawings?

    In this episode, Frank and Amelia talk about building drawings and the importance of having quality building drawings that meet at least the minimum requirements.  The is a gross misconception that engaging a designer or architect involves simply drawing a sketch of our house or extension to submit to council. This is so far from what is required! Frank and Amelia dive down a rabbit hole and discuss the implications of poorly documented drawings and why the drawings we do here at Prime Design are around 35 pages long. 

     Tune in to this episode to learn more about the benefits of having excellent drawings and documentation for your next project or extension.
