GET YOUR DUPLEX APROVED
Planning a residential project in Brisbane?
At Amores, we provide architectural drafting and planning-aware design services to help homeowners, builders, and small developers move confidently from concept through to council approval.
Our focus is on clear documentation, practical design, and approval readiness, tailored to Brisbane sites and planning requirements.
01
A Smarter Approach to Residential Design in Brisbane
Brisbane projects require more than good design — they require an understanding of local planning controls, site constraints, and council expectations.
We integrate architectural drafting with town planning support from the outset, helping reduce approval risk, avoid unnecessary redesigns, and keep your project moving forward efficiently.
Whether you’re designing a new home, duplex, or secondary dwelling, we provide a clear and structured pathway to approval.
If your project requires Development Application (DA) approval, this package is designed specifically for that process.

Designed for Brisbane Conditions
Our experience includes working with Brisbane City Council requirements and the typical constraints found across Brisbane suburbs, including:
-
Sloping or constrained sites
-
Character and neighbourhood context
-
Setbacks, height limits, and site cover
-
Flood and overlay considerations (where applicable)
This local understanding informs our design decisions from the start.
