Kitchen and Bathroom Draftsman Sydney | Renovation Plans
Straight-Talking Plans For Your Kitchen or Bathroom Renovation.
Renovating a kitchen or bathroom in Sydney usually means working out plumbing moves, wall changes and whether council needs to see anything at all. As a kitchen and bathroom draftsman Sydney homeowners can talk to directly, we turn that into a clear drawing set built around your actual layout.
That confusion is exactly where we come in.
True Blue Drafting prepares kitchen and bathroom renovation plans for homes across Sydney, from Castle Hill and Baulkham Hills through to Manly, Chatswood, Randwick and Cronulla. Every council reads a wet area renovation a little differently, so we check what applies to your block before we draw a single wall.
Plain drawings, plain English, and a designer who explains what each page is actually for.
We work with you from the first floor plan sketch through to lodgement. If your renovation needs a Development Application, a Complying Development Certificate or a Construction Certificate, we prepare the drawing set and the paperwork your certifier will ask for.

We work on homes across Sydney: the Northern Beaches, The Hills District, the North Shore, the Eastern Suburbs and the Inner West among them.

Kitchen and Bathroom Draftsman Sydney FAQs
What’s included in a kitchen and bathroom draftsman Sydney service like yours?
You get a floor plan, elevations, plumbing and electrical layouts, cabinetry and fixture positions, and finish notes your builder or plumber can work from directly. Where a Development Application or Construction Certificate applies, we prepare the supporting documentation alongside the drawings. A renovation in Chatswood involving a full kitchen rebuild gets the same detail level as a straightforward bathroom refresh, because your certifier reads both the same way.
Do I need council approval for a bathroom renovation in Sydney?
It depends on what is actually moving. Swapping fixtures in the same spot with no structural or drainage change often sits outside formal approval, but relocating plumbing, altering a wet area membrane or removing a wall usually needs a Construction Certificate, and some jobs trigger a Development Application if they affect structure or footprint. We check your specific scope against the controls that apply in Manly, or wherever your home sits, before you spend money on drawings.
What is the difference between a DA, a CDC and a CC for a renovation?
A Development Application goes to council for assessment and applies when a project does not meet the standard exempt or complying pathways. A Complying Development Certificate is a faster, privately certified pathway for work that meets a fixed set of standards, and a Construction Certificate confirms the technical building details before work starts on site. Most kitchen and bathroom jobs in Randwick end up needing a CC at minimum, and we tell you early which pathway your renovation actually fits.
Will my kitchen or bathroom renovation need an engineer?
Only if the scope calls for it. Removing or altering a structural wall between a kitchen and living area, changing floor levels, or adding real new load for cabinetry or a bath usually needs structural engineering input, which we coordinate as part of the drawing set. A straightforward fixture swap in a Cronulla apartment might not need one at all, and we will tell you honestly either way rather than adding a consultant you do not need.
Do kitchen and bathroom renovations need BASIX in Sydney?
BASIX applies where a renovation adds new conditioned floor area, alters energy or water related fixtures beyond a minor scope, or forms part of a larger addition. For many straightforward kitchen or bathroom updates in Parramatta it is not triggered at all, but where it does apply we prepare the supporting documentation as part of your drawing set rather than treating it as a separate add-on.
Can you design around my existing plumbing stack?
Yes, and it is usually the first thing we check. Moving a bathroom or kitchen away from its existing stack adds cost and sometimes needs extra falls or venting that an engineer or hydraulic consultant should confirm. On a renovation in Baulkham Hills we map what is realistically achievable within the existing stack position, rather than designing a layout that assumes it can move for free.
Can you work with my builder or plumber once the plans are done?
Yes. We draft the set so your builder and plumber can quote and build from it directly, and we stay involved if council or your certifier comes back with questions during assessment. On a recent renovation in Castle Hill where the client already had a builder lined up, we coordinated directly with their site supervisor to confirm dimensions before construction started.
Which Sydney suburbs do you cover for kitchen and bathroom renovation plans?
We work across the Northern Beaches, The Hills District, the North Shore, the Eastern Suburbs, Parramatta, the Inner West and the Sutherland Shire, along with jobs further west toward Hornsby and Blacktown. If you want a kitchen and bathroom draftsman Sydney owners can reach directly, wherever your project sits across that footprint, we are set up to help.
