Lateral Building Designs provides drafting and architectural design services focusing on home designs, alteration or extension to existing homes, new commercial adventures and unit developments.

We specialise in 3d Rendered drawings and for a little extra in fees, we provide you with a 3d walkthrough of the structure giving a feel for what will be built, before any amount of site work is commence. And for those of us, that are not keen on computers, but love the tangible item, Richard, can produce a useful, but beautiful cardboard model, that you can take home and explore.

For those clients that are not local we can provide preliminary drawings in PDF format via email for you to browse at your leisure, while deciding what does or doesn't work.

With our emphasis on personal friendly service, our goal is to help take the headache away from the daunting task that building and renovating can be.
