Why SJP Stands Out as Your Draftsman in Newcastle
Choosing the right draftsman matters. Here’s what sets SJP apart:
Local experience you can trust – Because we’re based in Newcastle, we understand Council rules, local styles, and what works best in your area.
Tailored residential designs – Whether you want modern, classic, or somewhere in-between, we craft designs specific to your lifestyle and home.
Full service from start to finish – We assist you through drafting, planning approvals, and certificates. You stay informed as we move forward together.
Our Drafting & Design Services
We offer comprehensive services for home owners in Newcastle. For example:
New Homes, Granny Flats & Additions
We design new homes, granny flats, and additions that meet your needs. Because we custom-draft each project, you get a design that maximises space and suits your dreams.
Renovations & Home Improvements
Want to upgrade your space? We handle renovations and home improvement works with attention to detail and clever design.
3D Visualisations & Renderings
See your design before construction with 3D renders. This way you visualise the result, make changes early, and feel confident in the plan.
Planning, Approvals & Council Compliance
We manage all the paperwork, council submissions, and compliance tasks. Because we take care of this, you avoid surprises and delays.
Client Stories & Satisfaction
Our clients often say:
“Very professional and easy to work with. Provided a good standard of drawings, listened to what we wanted and provided additional advice along the way.”
“Shona did an excellent job… changed designs as needed, helped with DA approval… final home makes people say ‘Wow’.”
These stories show why people in Newcastle trust SJP for both quality design and reliable service.
How We Work Together
Here’s our process to make your project feel simple and supported:
Initial Consultation – we talk through your ideas and needs.
Concept & Drafting – we visit site, draft plans, get your feedback.
Refine & Finalise – update designs until you’re happy.
Approvals & Documentation – submit plans to Council / certifier, get permits.
