  • Outstanding and professional I recently had the pleasure of working with Geoff Baker from Drafting Edge for a council permit for a custom picket fence. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and highly professional. Geoff was honest, knowledgeable and demonstrated a keen eye for detail. He took the time to thoroughly understand our requirements and guided us throughout the process. I highly recommend Geoff to anyone in need of top-notch drafting services.

    We engaged Geoff and the Drafting Edge team to help us with a Deck and Front Fence permits. At face value this project wasn't complex but proved to have so many moving parts with engaging different stakeholders (surveyors, council, water authorities, engineers, fire consultants and the list went on) Geoff has been EXCELLENT. He has been patient, thoroughly and taken the time to navigate us through the process. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future. Thanks Geoff. Great work!

    We used Drafting Edge to design an extension for our home. Although only a small job, Geoff was more than happy to take it on. Geoff was easy to deal with, super responsive and was always happy to have a chat on the phone about our project. Looking forward to seeing the end result soon. Thanks for everything Geoff!

  • We used Geoff late last year to draft up plans for a small reno. Highly recommend his services as he was always very prompt with communication and great to work with through the design process. He was very knowledgeable with all the relevant standards and design regulations and was honest in his communications with realistic time frames and council expectations. Would 100% use him again if we go down the path of building or renovating again.

  • Geoff provided his drafting services for our home extension in Highett. He was very diligent in understanding our needs whilst also providing very technical and knowledgeable understanding of the building codes and Bayside council rulings to apply to our house as well as offer his own design tips and ideas that we have added to our design. He also offered lots of advice and support with regard to key design decisions and the next steps with regard to the building process. He also managed all our design services consulting works (surveying, energy, structural, soil reports etc) which made the process very easy. Highly recommend.

    Geoff came in to help us with converting architectural plans to construction drawings. He found an intricacy that we had not been able to see in the plans about the height of our new en-suite ceiling. Rather than ignoring it, he called it to our attention. We had to re-submit our Council Planning permit, delaying our project further, but we can rest assured our final product will be so much better thanks to Geoff’s attention to detail. All the other components of the Building Permit application Geoff was also happy to explain in finite detail to me. I highly recommend Geoff’s services. Thanks Geoff!

“We would also like to let you know how much we appreciate your advice and thoughts during the past 18 months. Campbell and I are delighted with our project and to see our vision come alive under your direction is a great thrill. Everything has gone smoothly and for that we thank you for the care and attention to detail. We cannot express our gratitude enough.”
– Ann & Campbell Davies – Malvern East

“Geoff was able to take a basic architects concept and transform it into a spectacular finished result with real wow factor.  We were thoroughly impressed with Geoffs design suggestions and the final product has exceeded our expectations.  We would recommend Drafting Edge to anyone who is looking.”
– Prahran

“We needed a comprehensive design and documentation service for our proposed extension.  We initially thought to use an architect but found their price and personality to be too restrictive.  Geoff took our pages of ideas, photos and requirements and presented a number of designs and concepts that allowed my husband and I to get fully immersed with Geoff into the design for our dream extension.  Geoffs attention to detail within the design highlighted areas we never thought to consider and we are thankful we addressed these areas within the extension prior to construction.  The outcome was an on budget extension that has used the limited site size to great expertise.”
– Bentleigh

“We wanted to build a new fence, upon talking to council it all seemed too hard with permits and height restrictions, but with one phone call to Drafting Edge we got the plans and engineering we required and Geoff obtained a dispensation from council to allow our fence to exceed the allowable height.  Very happy.”
– Camberwell

“Our job was only small but we found the Drafting Edge fees to be very reasonable given the service we received.  Other companies were cheaper but we found Geoff to be very professional and efficient.  Value for money and a great design all make for a satisfying extension, it was money well spent.”
– Rowville      

“Drafting Edge have provided a fantastic drafting service for our home extension.  The service provided was reasonably priced and Geoff was efficient, reliable and a pleasure to work with.”
– Dan and Ali Larkey – Deepdene

“We found Geoff to be very flexible in providing design options and also explaining why our initial self-design would not work in simple language. Geoff was always cool in dealing with us even when we got a bit restless due to Council and other external factors causing delays. Belinda and I are happy to recommend Geoff Baker to draw up your plans.”
– Mark and Belinda Klose – Albert Park

“We would highly recommend Geoff Baker of Drafting Edge for his outstanding design services.  From the onset and throughout, we were impressed with Geoff’s knowledge of the building process and excellent customer service.  Our dream extension in the form of a photograph was masterfully created into a plan, with the inclusion of extra features which meet our family’s everyday needs.  We appreciate the care, support and consideration provided and are delighted with our beautiful extension.”
– Paul & Darren Rees – Ashburton

“I had only the vaguest idea about what I wanted, fortunately Geoff at Drafting Edge knows how to turn vague ideas into specific plans. I got what I wanted even though I didn’t know what I wanted until I got it.”

– Jim – Moonee Ponds
