Dec 05, 2018 Report
I was referred to PL Building Design for a tricky extension to my tiny single fronted Victorian terrace through someone who's had their service before. Pino the business owner has been very patient in explaining the details during the entire process, and was very quick in getting the design and permits done. After all his works done, Pino even recommended a few builders and I'm very happy with the builder recommended from him. Overall if you need a draftsperson who has lots of expertise in dealing with councils, getting quality works done in a timely manner, and charge you a very reasonable fee
