Honestly going in to the whole process of getting consent and everything involved we were unsure of what to expect except that it was going to be a mission and hard work. Thankfully Daniel and the team involved made this the complete opposite! Right from the start the communication was clear and it was insured we understood throughout the process what was going on. Every question I asked was responded with professionalism and clear answers which I really did appreciate as I had many haha I couldn’t imagine using anyone else for future projects! Can’t express any more how happy we are!

100% would recommend. Very professional and reasonable in cost. We had some ideas on a new bathroom and other changes around the house and Daniel has brought the vision together for us. Work in the trade and will recommend him to others.

Daniel processed my application with the city council very quickly and in a professional manner. He handled all requests from the council promptly, and I only had to provide initial photos and a rough idea of the plan. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend MrDraughty. We had a small job to do with building permit/consents. Tessa and the team were awesome deal with, we didn't know anything about it but they do. They gave us a quote, and on approval, cracked into the drawings and finished the edits, all inside a week. They can look after the consenting through council process too. Great service, very quick and reasonable pricing too. Very satisfied with the work. Thanks guys.

Our plumber referred us to My Draughty because he thought it would be easier for us to get council consent for our new ensuite. We are very grateful that he did. We knew nothing about what was needed and Tessa was extremely helpful (and patient), walking us through the process. We now have our consent from the council and I cannot not believe how seamless and quick it was. Thank you Mr Draughty. Would highly recommend 🙂

Great service from Mr. Draughty every step of the way. Plans were drawn up and submitted in very good time. Every RFI sent out during the review process was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our consent was granted sooner than expected (possibly a new record for Tauranga City Council 🙂 ) allowing work to proceed without interruption on our project with a very tight schedule. Couldn't be happier, highly recommend.

Utilised the Mr Draughty team for a main bathroom and ensuite change to a wet area and also bracing wall demolition/changes - consent through AKL Council. Too easy, just follow the instructions on the website and/or check out the you tube vids. Easy communication, quick turnaround and no issues completing remotely. Highly recommend.

We worked with Dan and Tessa at Mr Draughty, and they made the entire process feel effortless. While there was a small miscommunication in the early stages, they quickly adapted and took care of everything from there, the process went smoothly after that. I have no reservations and would highly recommend Mr Draughty for any minor consent drawings.

Mr Draughty you absolutel Legend!!!! We've just had our application approved by the council!!! After Our original quotes for drawings to get our load bearing wall removed, came in anywhere between 5 to 9 grand. We felt totally disheartened. And after finding Mr. Draughty on google, people told us the pricing is too good to be true, warning us that you get what you pay for. But From the very first phone call, Daniel put our mind at ease with his extensive knowledge and easy manner. Submitting our application online was easier than I expected, even after I realised I'd made a mistake in my original drawing, it corrected without any fuss. We didn't once have to deal with council as Mr draughty did it all, his communication was impeccable, keeping us informed and in the loop every step of the way. It only took 4 weeks from the time we submitted our original drawing to Mr Draughty, to getting an email of approval from council. Can not recommend this company enough!!!

Really helpful, got back to us quickly with plans, and did all the work with the council for us. Also very reasonably priced. Council even got back to us earlier than the 20 days! Thanks so much for your help.

We were fearful that the building consent application process would be stressful and frustrating, but Daniel's professionalism ensured it was quite the opposite. He kept us updated from start to finish and promptly addressed any issues to achieve the fastest possible outcome. Many thanks Daniel. I have no hesitation in recommending his services. R Black

Mr Draughty has been such a pleasure to deal with. They always did what they said they were going to do and everything has always been done quick and efficiently and nothing was ever too much to ask for even when changes had to be made due to council being difficult. Will definitely use them again in future and recommend Mr Draughty! Thank you for your assistance and good work.

If I can give 12 stars out of 5, I would! Just had our final inspection today and passed yay 😀 It was an absolute breeze working with Mr Draughty with our bathroom and laundry reno. Daniel was proactive, helpful, easy to deal with, and considerate. He made the process of getting a consent less daunting.
