The Praeditos Designs & Drafting Process

At Praeditos Designs & Drafting, we specialize in turning residential design & drafting dreams into reality. Our process ensures clarity, efficiency, and excellence in every detail:

1. Initial Design Consultation

Begin your project with a tailored consultation where we delve into your vision, lifestyle requirements, and budget considerations. We aim to kick-start your project within the week after signing up, ensuring a prompt start to the design process.

2. Concept Design Finalization

Transforming your ideas into tangible plans, we meticulously refine the initial concept. This phase is crucial for documenting the scope of work, enabling preliminary quoting and precise project planning.

3. Design Refinement to Detailed Drawings

Once the concept is finalized, we meticulously translate it into detailed Working Drawings. These comprehensive documents are essential for approvals, certification submissions, and construction coordination. Additionally, we facilitate the procurement of necessary contractor reports such as engineering and surveying.

4. Approval Coordination

Navigating the intricate landscape of approvals and certifications can be daunting. At Praeditos Designs & Drafting, we streamline this process for you, ensuring compliance with all regulations and standards. Let us handle the complexities while you focus on envisioning your dream home.

Are you considering expanding your living space or exploring new housing options?

Secondary Residences (SRs) in the ACT might just be the solution you're looking for!

A SR is a dwelling built on and in association with an existing dwelling on a block greater than 500.00 m² in size. These residences are designed to comply with adaptable housing standards, making them an excellent choice for expanding housing options in the ACT.

Why should you consider a Secondary Residence?

• Increased Living Space: SRs provide the flexibility to expand your domestic space, whether it's for accommodating family members, hosting guests, or creating rental opportunities such as Airbnb.

• Flexible Design Options: These dwellings can be used in conjunction with the existing home or separately, offering versatility in how you utilize the space.

• Value Addition: With a size ranging from 40.00 to 90.00 m², Secondary Residences offer a modest yet impactful way to enhance the value and utility of your property.

• Potential Rental Income: By separating the SR from your primary residence, you open up the opportunity for additional rental income, providing a financial incentive for investment.

• Adaptable Housing Standards: Designed to comply with adaptable housing standards, SRs ensure inclusivity and accessibility for all residents.

If you're intrigued by the idea of a Secondary Residence, we're here to help! Contact us today for more information or explore our website for other services / contact options.

What does Praeditos mean?

In Latin, "praeditos" means "endowed" or "gifted." It comes from the Latin verb "praedo," which means "to give freely" or "to endow." So, "praeditos" refers to someone or something that has been endowed with qualities or abilities.

This reflects the business's core belief that it is crucial that building designer services are provided equally with quality and expertise, ensuring that each client receives exceptional designs tailored to their needs and aspirations.
