Construction Details
The detailed drawings that tell your builder exactly how to build what the design intends.
Documentation · Detail
Approval drawings show what you're building. Construction details show how — the connection points, material specifications, junction details and finishes that turn a design into a real building.
What construction details cover
- Wall section details and insulation specifications
- Window and door jamb, head and sill details
- Roof and eave junction details
- Wet area waterproofing and tile layouts
- Kitchen and joinery details
- Stair design and balustrading
- Deck, balcony and external paving details
- Material and finish schedules
Why they matter
The less documentation provided to a builder, the more decisions they make themselves during construction — often using the cheapest option, which may not align with your design intent or quality expectations.
Detailed documentation also forms the basis of variations pricing. When the drawings are clear, there's less room for ambiguity about what was included and what wasn't — reducing disputes and protecting your budget.
