Daniel was fantastic to deal with. Working with the council is not always easy and Daniel helped us navigate the process. We got what we needed and are thrilled to moving on to the next stage. Thank you Daniel – you were terrific!

MrDraughty helped with our consent for our bathroom renovation. The process was easy and stress free and Daniel had some really good suggestions we hadn’t thought of. Would definitely recommend using MrDraughty for your next project!

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.

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.

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!!!

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

We’ve been really happy with the service from Mr Draughty. The team are always quick to respond to emails, great with communication, and keep us updated throughout the whole process. Any council RFIs or questions that come up are dealt with straight away, which makes everything run smoothly and takes a lot of stress out of the process. We really appreciate their efficiency and reliable service and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

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 :-)

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.
