Sunshine Coast's Experienced Building Designer

Points North Design & Drafting are accomplished Building Designers assisting clients in Queensland. Led by Anthony, the team brings both creativity and technical prowess to each project brief, exceeding our clients’ expectations and delivering beautiful results time after time. No design is too challenging. We have experience in all styles and aesthetics, whether it be for a renovation, home addition or, our favourite, a bespoke new home where our creativity can shine. Our services are prompt, punctual and professional. In our minds, communication is the key to success -- clients tell us they choose us because they enjoy being heard and having their ideas incorporated into their designs. On top of this, we turn these drawings over quickly to help keep the process as stress-free as possible and are happy to alter the design until it meets the client’s vision to a tee. We also think of the things our clients might miss. It’s important that any project is complementary to the lifestyles of our clients, so we seek to create spaces that are beautiful, innovative, and functional that stand the test of time. If this sounds like the principals of your ideal home, we’d love to hear from you!

We engaged Anthony to design and draft our plans to build a Duplex. We would like to summarise our review by giving him 5*!!! We highly recommend Anthony to every one with emphasis on the following and more: 1. Professionalism: Ant was absolutely professional, timely, and respectful of any idea we had. Nothing was difficult and he always remained calm and patient with us. 2. Quality: the quality of his work is great and provided us with absolutely detailed plans and helped to achieve a great design, including landscaping, for a complex piece of land 3. Patient and very accommodating. He truly understood our challenges and kept us motivated 4. Price: we believe his prices are very fair considering the amount of work, details and quality we received 5. After sales service: We had to make some changes to our plans as per certifier’s request. Anthony made the changes effectively and in time 6. Overall: A gentleman with loads of experience, patience and knowledge I would trust and recommend to friends and family. Thank you again and hope to working with you on other project very soon. Regards Sadeq and Anette

Grant Davis - Noosa Duplex - approx. 1mil. We worked together with Points North D & D for our new custom Double Duplex's in Noosa. Ant really came through with awesome design plans for the block using a shared central driveway (not common in Noosa) that really solved our space issues for each Duplex. Ant was fantastic with listening to exactly what we wanted for our project, & came up with several design elements that really helped make this a 'stand-out' project that really gave us a great return on our investment budget. I would highly recommend working with Points North for any project with challenges, or just needing something different & unique. We absolutely love our Double Duplex's & appreciate Ant's hard work on the design & Drawings for it, our project would have suffered otherwise. We even did 4 pools because of Ant's exterior space design planning, fantastic! Thanks very much Ant for your efforts & great design skill & knowledge, we would highly recommend Ant for any new project big or small. Thanks mate, 5 huge stars from us - Grant Davis - Noosa.

We have been working with Ant from Points North for nearly 6 years. The detailing on his drawings is excellent. He is able to combine excellent architectural values while still keeping the project 'buildable'. It is a pleasure to work with Ant, he is skillful and honest. We have no hesitation giving him 5 stars.

We have never built before and didn’t know where to start. From our first meeting with Ant any apprehension we had was put to rest. Ant has been very easy to talk to and explains things that a layman can understand. He has had great patients with our many changes in getting our final plans just right. We are very excited to see the finished project. We highly recommend Points North and give them 5 stars. Great job Ant. Sue & Dave Chudleigh

I'm a local Sunshine Coast Builder. We had a large addition at the Mooloolaba School that required a large deck addition & renovation work. Ant from Points North did a great job at communicating design issues & really helped us get the right solution for what we needed for this renovation addition. Ant delivered the drawings very fast, & we only had minor changes to make. Very impressed with Points North Drafting services, & would recommend them to anyone needing high quality design & drafting done.

Larse - approx. 350k. Points North did our new custom home Design & Working Drawings. We are loving the design & layout of our new split-level home. Our block is on a slope, so it presented a few design challenges, but with help from our builder & Ant's design skills, we ended up with a fantastic custom home design just for us that works extremely well with the block. Being a custom design, our home is designed in such a way that has a thoughtful layout for 2-3 children, & all aspects of living as a family very well. We are impressed with Ant's design & drawings, & have no hesitation recommending Points North for any new custom home. Ant did a great job on our design & really put our combined ideas to good use. We received exactly what we wanted in great time, & at a great price also. 5 stars, Larse N.

Always great to design well for the block & orientation while still getting a great floor plan layout. Cheers.

As a builder, I've used Points North drafting services for 7-8 years now. I'm very impressed with Ant's design skill & putting client ideas into the design so well. I'm very impressed with Ant's work, & see no reason why I'd use anyone else. We have built 10-15 projects together with Points North drafting for us & it has always been a great fit. Ant listens to our clients, & works together to create the best design suited for the clients wishes & budget. Very high recommendation from me, 5 stars. Saltbush

We had Points North do our Working Drawings & Design, & were very impressed with the quality & value for money. Ant did a great job on our design & really put in our ideas & exactly what we wanted, in just a few weeks we had awesome drawings for our new project. We are very happy with our new home now, & would work with Points North D & D on our next home, no problem at all. 5 stars from us, thanks so much Ant.

Neil M. Very impressed with Ant's work. Although our project stopped, Ant's help & drawings really were great. Ant listened to what we wanted, really put our ideas into the design, & made our reno even better than we imagined. I have no hesitation in recommending Points North D & D for any project - New or existing Renovation. Very happy with Ant's work - 5 big stars from us.

Comment from Points North Design & Drafting:

Thanks so much for your kind words Neil! I appreciated the challenge with your renovation, being in a body-corp situation, it is a shame the new design won't come to life for you. My fingers are still crossed for your reno design submission, I'm confident it will go through for you (there's no honest reason you shouldn't have it renovated). I believe we added substantial value with the new design with a pool & adding the second storey & bedrooms etc. We did not take away from the general look of the surrounding homes, in fact, we made the complex look even better in my opinion. Regardless of the outcome, I very much appreciate the challenge, & you were a great client to work with mate. Cheers, & good luck with the reno submission to body-corp.

Highly recommend Anthony. Have a great view block that presented a few challenges. He has produced an outstanding design that compliments the block & more importantly our life style requirements. Looking forward to building & enjoying our new home.

1 Mil Project cost. Thanks very much Peter & Lisa, this is a fantastic project & one that I will never forget. The block shape presented some challenges that we overcame very well with the design fully complimenting the awesome views. I'm very happy with our outcome & think it will be fantastic to live in! The pool as a feature incorporated into the house design fits perfectly & adds a WOW factor that people dream of. Thanks very much for your kind words, I look forward to seeing this project come to life & updating pics for people to see your fantastic new dream home! Thanks mate.

We enlisted Anthony to carry out all technical drawings of our dream home on our acreage block. We met on-site, he gained a very good understanding of our propertys projected structure layout & had some great tips to assist with final decisions. We gave him a rough drawing we had done for our desired 2 story layout, and within a week had a preliminary plan emailed back. Working with our Builder & Points North we have acheived exactly what we were after in a very timely manner. We cannot recommend Anthony enough, excellent communication, suggestions & advice.

Up to $350,000 Project cost. Thanks very much Tyler & Jodie, you guys were great clients! Very easy to talk ideas over with, & great communication. 2 storey homes are a bit more involved, however we managed to create a fantastic floor plan & layout design incorporating all your wants & needs. We also did very well with entertaining space, very large & lots of room for all the kids to come very soon mate! Great project, great clients! I will update very soon with pics of the final home when constructed! Cheers Tyler, well done mate & the very best wishes for the new baby Jodie!

I can’t say enough about the expertise and patience that Anthony displayed while helping us through our project. He was always there whenever we needed him to give us advice and guide us to the best options when doing our renovation and addition to our house. His ideas and ways of thinking about the layout of our house were so helpful and led us to get exactly what we wanted in our renovations and build. The speed and detail that he worked at was amazing. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Great service!

Hired Points North to help me through a major 2 storey design extension at Diddillibah. Liked the way Anthony talked us through the options, relative costs, excavation implications, and took the initiative to propose some really cool designs. Happy. Also arranged surveyor, got a local builder to look at design/materials and give a practical construction view, helped me with next steps and left an open door if I had a small change/s later. Very responsive to come to site - came twice - not just theoretical. Way to go.

Comment from Points North Design & Drafting:

Thanks so much David! You & your lovely wife were fantastic to design for. You both let me suggest ideas & listened to my suggestions about different issues/challenges of this project. Shows how important communication is to a project. Some clients can have tunnel vision, but you guys were very flexible & easy to design for. The elevator will be amazing! I will keep in touch & would love to see the progress as it moves forward. Definitely a project to remember mate. & yes, I can do changes in future no problem at all - no cost. Loved this project, & wishing you happy living in your great newly designed & renovated home! You guys deserve it! Thanks David!

We got in touch with Anthony James to discuss the renovation of our Queenslander and we were immediately impressed with his professionality and customer orientated attitude. He gave us valuable inputs even before we had committed ourselves to working with him. Throughout the design process he listened to us and transformed our wishes into the most wonderful design, adding many features that we would never have thought of ourselves. We could not have wished for a more inspired and more highly qualified designer, he is at the top of his profession and we give him our heartfelt thanks and recommend him highly!
