Geoff is very experienced, reliable, has strong communication skills and was able to provide sound advice throughout my mini reno project. Designs were provided promptly and Geoff also managed the council heritage planning permit approval - with actual durations as per his estimates! I highly recommend anyone thinking of doing a reno to reach out to Geoff for a quote!

October 25, 2024After many recommendations, we had the pleasure of working with Geoff at Drafting Edge for our front picket fence and we cannot recommend him highly enough. His extensive knowledge of the heritage overlay on our house & in our area and the requirements for council permit submissions was invaluable. Geoff's communication was exceptional, he was always just a phone call or email away to provide clarity on any questions we had. For anyone in need of drafting services, Geoff is the ideal choice.

September 12, 2024We 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!

September 14, 2023We 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.

August 8, 2022“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.”
