Drafting & Building Design in Balgowlah (Northern Beaches)

JJ Drafting & Design helps Balgowlah homeowners move from “initial idea” to council-approved plans. Whether you are modernizing a character-filled bungalow or planning a high-yield dual occupancy, we provide the precision architectural drafting required for DA, CDC, and Construction Certificate (CC) approvals.

What We Do in Balgowlah

  • Bungalow & Heritage Extensions: Specialized design for “rear-up” additions that preserve the Federation or Californian Bungalow façade while creating modern, open-plan living.

  • Dual Occupancy & Duplexes: Maximizing the value of large Balgowlah blocks by designing premium duplexes or secondary dwellings under the latest NSW housing reforms.

  • Family Additions: Expertly drafted first-floor additions and internal re-configurations to meet the needs of growing North Beaches families.

  • Pools & Landscape Flow: Creating seamless transitions between the home and the outdoors, including technical plans for pools and outdoor entertaining areas.

  • Garage & Studio Conversions: Turning existing structures into legal home offices, gyms, or guest suites that comply with the NCC 2022.

  • As-Built Plans for Illegal Works: Assisting with Building Information Certificates (BIC) to regularize existing or unapproved decks and renovations.

Approvals: Balancing Privacy & Solar Access

Balgowlah’s residential streets are often closely settled. The Northern Beaches Council pays strict attention to how new work affects the neighbors.

We manage the technical documentation for:

  • 3D Shadow Modeling: Ensuring your first-floor addition doesn’t unfairly overshadow your neighbor’s private open space or solar panels.

  • Privacy & Acoustic Screening: Drafting clever screening solutions that satisfy council privacy requirements without compromising your views.

  • 2026 BASIX Compliance: Every design is optimized to hit the 7-star energy rating mandate, using advanced insulation and glazing specs.

We determine the fastest pathway for your project—whether it’s a CDC (Complying Development Certificate) for speed or a DA (Development Application) to navigate more complex site constraints.
