From basements and steel structures to compact sites and overlay restrictions, our team knows how to navigate challenges and create solutions that are both creative and buildable. Our goal is to deliver townhouses that not only meet local council requirements but also attract buyers and residents who value quality and design.
When you choose Peninsula Design Drafting, you’re partnering with a design studio that combines creativity with technical precision — giving your project the best chance of success.
