Empire Design & Drafting offers building design for townhouse, apartment, duplex and multi-unit projects in Brisbane and Queensland. Services include concept design, development-approval documentation, building-approval documentation and 3D presentation drawings.

Design and documentation for development projects

Begin with the property, proposed development type and information already available. Explain whether you are exploring a concept, refining a proposal or defining the drawings required for the next project stage.

Agree on the design scope and consultant responsibilities before treating an early concept as a complete development package. Site capacity, approvals, construction costs and sales outcomes need project-specific assessment; they are not guaranteed by a design example.

A three-townhouse example in Greenslopes

The Donaldson Street Residences at 54 Donaldson Street, Greenslopes, comprise three townhouses designed by Empire Design & Drafting. The published project description identifies a timber-clad western residence, a gabled central residence and an eastern residence with Queenslander-style balcony details and a circular window.

Explore the Donaldson Street townhouse project for the full design example.

Project scale

Empire’s published project list includes apartment buildings of up to seven storeys, an 18-townhouse project at Loganlea, unit developments at Carina, Bundaberg, Yeronga and Holland Park, housing developments in Cairns and commercial office projects up to 10,000 square metres. Confirm current capacity and examples for your specific brief.

Consultants and project information

Empire’s consultant network includes surveyors, town planners, structural engineers, geotechnical engineers and civil engineers. Confirm which consultants your project needs, who engages them and how their work is included in the documentation scope.

Does Empire design smaller townhouse projects?

Yes. Empire’s published Donaldson Street project contains three townhouses, and townhouse developments are listed among its services. Discuss your block and proposed project before assuming the same dwelling count is possible on another site.

Are approval drawings available?

Empire lists development-approval and building-approval documentation as services. The specific drawings, supporting reports and submission responsibilities should be confirmed for your project.

Can a design guarantee the number of dwellings or profit?

No project example establishes the permitted dwelling count or financial outcome for a different site. The design brief should be informed by site-specific planning advice, consultant input and commercial assessment.
