Drafting & Building Design in Cammeray (Lower North Shore)

JJ Drafting & Design helps Cammeray homeowners transform traditional properties into contemporary masterpieces. Whether you are modernising a Federation home or maximising a sloping site with harbour views, we provide the precision architectural drafting required for DA, CDC, and Construction Certificate (CC) approvals.

What We Do in Cammeray

  • Federation & Heritage Modernization: Expertly designed additions that preserve the streetscape character of Cammeray while creating open-plan, light-filled interiors for 2026 living.

  • Sloping Block & Harbor View Design: Specialized drafting for the steep terrain surrounding Tunks Park, utilizing split-level architecture to maximize harbor views and natural light.

  • Dual Occupancy & Smart Studios: Leveraging 2026 NSW housing reforms to design high-yield secondary dwellings or guest studios that integrate seamlessly with existing luxury homes.

  • Urban Interior Re-planning: Specialized space planning for Cammeray’s terrace and semi-detached homes to improve functionality and flow without increasing the building footprint.

  • Pools & Landscape Integration: Detailed plans for pools and outdoor entertaining areas that navigate North Sydney’s rigorous setbacks and privacy requirements.

  • Building Information Certificates (BIC): Professional “as-built” plans to regularize unapproved historical renovations or structural changes common in older Cammeray properties.

Approvals: Navigating North Sydney’s Planning Controls

Building in Cammeray involves balancing high-density living with strict heritage protections. In addition, our 35+ years of experience ensures your plans meet the technical requirements of North Sydney Council.

We manage the specialised documentation for:

  • Heritage Conservation Areas (HCA): Drafting sympathetic additions that satisfy council heritage officers while providing modern amenity.

  • 7-Star BASIX & Energy Efficiency: Integrating mandatory 2026 thermal performance standards into older homes to ensure year-round comfort.

  • Privacy & Solar Access: Precision 3D shadow modeling to ensure your renovation meets strict council rules regarding the solar access of neighboring properties.

We determine the most efficient pathway for your project—whether it’s the fast-track CDC (Complying Development Certificate) for standard additions. Alternatively, your project may require a DA (Development Application) for heritage or site-specific challenges.
