An average architect would charge you min $150 per hr. let alone a "good" one. From here... https://www.realestate.com.au/lifestyle ... t-in-2019/ "That means for a $600,000 build, an architect might charge between $30,000 and $90,000." I'd have most of what you'd need to lodge a DA in a week. A bit longer for the CC. At $30-$90,000 per job, I wouldn't mind that each week!

Hmmm, good luck getting a response from any professional here... Stewie No i'm not trying to steal anything, i just have a house plan that i mostly like so i was going to use it as a base and change what's required..all i have is lines on a page with basic dimensions so once i adjust them and delete/add rooms etc it will be quite different..By your way of thinking we should only have 1 car being built by the original manufacturer because they all have the same principals etc.. I would be willing to bet that even some house builders who own whatever rights to a plan could be seen as having "stolen" them due to there being so many designs on the internet that would be very similar..
