Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 11, 2010 4:51 pm Just want to get an idea of who is out there to design our house, other's good and not-so-good experiences and costs.

To get working drawings and approvals to build there is a choice of levels of service, which varies according to the level of assistance required, and the size of the house. Project North will refund half the design fees if you choose to build with them.
