Our Goal

The goal at Outline Design + Drafting is to prepare for you the first step along the way to having your dream home. We will provide you with a set quote, site and home measure, a design you will love and of course your detailed plans ready for council submission and building quotes.

Let us turn your ideas into reality with drawings that can be used for planning approval and builders’ quotes. You will own your plans so you can compare prices.

Tammie created our dream house without us even knowing what that was. We told her our needs first and then our wants and she somehow designed a home that incorporated both and more, paying close attention to detail and practicality. Her passion and professionalism is second to none, she really listens and then delivers. We couldn’t be happier with the design of our forever home!

Tammie McDonald has been the only one throughout the process of our Additions/Alterations that was helpful and knowledgeable, we were lost until we met Tammie, this was our first time doing such a build and we were new in the area and didn't know anyone to rely on, the builders, engineers, surveyor and certifiers were all too impatience to explain things to us, Tammie took the time, explained the process and guided us all the way.
Donna Wand

My husband and I have known Tammy for approximately 2 years. Tammy designed our beautifully new Hamptons house, ensuring that we were completely happy with her suggestions and ready to accommodate any changes we required. Once the design was approved, Tammy drew the plans and liaised with the local Council on our behalf. Tammy is always courteous, helpful and extremely competent at what she does and at all times considered what we were envisioning and how she could help us achieve our goal with as little stress as possible.
