"We engaged Shane to assist with our bathroom remodeling, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The whole process felt effortless. Once we accepted the quote, Shane arrived the very next day to take measurements and understand exactly what we wanted. He went above and beyond by creating three different design concepts (since we couldn’t decide at first), which made it so much easier to choose the right option. After finalising the design, Shane handled the building consent application and provided minor variations at no extra cost when we made changes during the build. Thank you, Shane, for your patience and for answering all my questions throughout the project. We couldn’t be happier with the result!"

"Exceptional Drafting Support — Professional, Reliable, and Personable

We had an outstanding experience working with Shane from Paragon Solutions for our building consent drawings and council submission. From the outset, Shane was prompt, accurate, and consistently communicative — keeping us informed at every stage and delivering exactly what he promised.

His deep knowledge of both the drafting process and council requirements was evident, and he took the time to clearly explain each step, which made the entire experience feel smooth and manageable. What really stood out was his integrity and generosity: he made some minor changes to our plans without charging extra, which speaks volumes about his client-first approach.

Throughout the process, we felt completely supported and in good hands. Shane’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made a potentially stressful task feel effortless. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing high-quality drafting services."

"The job was to create the drawings and take the work through the building consent process on our behalf with Auckland Council.
After getting quotes from various builders who hummed and ha'ed over the need for a consent, Shane turned up and quickly identified from our concept drawings that a consent was needed and why. In the initial site visit he walked us through the potential extra costs that council may impose, and offered a professional opinion on whether those cost would be likely to be realised for the scope of work.
Once contracted for the work, Shane conducted a prompt and professional site measure, and then turned around the final concept drawings quickly for our approval.
Detailed drawings and lodgement of the consent were completed within the timeline he had estimated, and the quality of his work pre-consent meant only minor questions were asked by council with no rework needed - consent approved in less than 3 weeks. Whenever we asked for an update he promptly replied with an accurate picture for us.

"Shane is courteous and punctual and he was able to work with us on a relatively tight timeline without issue. Shane dealt with council, on my behalf, obtaining Building Consent which was most helpful. He then once again acted quickly and efficientlty to assist me obtaining CCC some months later.
Highly recommended."

"I have nothing but praise for the workmanship, process and communication skills of Shane. We had a tight timeline and a project that shifted in ambition. Shane adapted with us and we always felt reassured having him with us along the journey. My wife and I would highly recommend Shane to anyone looking for a great draftsman."

"I would happily recommend Shane and Paragon Solutions. He was quick to respond to the job I posted on this site and all contact with him since has been prompt, courteous, pleasant and knowledgeable.
I was particularly happy that he took control of the whole consent process, making my life a lot easier."

"We originally posted our internal renovation/new deck job on Builderscrack and were impressed by Shane's quick and professional response. He promptly visited us and prepared a quote. We took the time to consider his quote and found he was very competitive after comparing a few other companies.
His service throughout the as-built and concept drawing process was really good. Always very responsive and was good at communicating the process to us (it was our first renovation experience requiring council consent/detailed drawings).
Shane liaised with structural engineer and then the council and made the process towards gaining council consent very smooth. The council consent came through faster than I expected which was great. We really appreciated that.

I wouldn't hesitate recommending Shane to anyone else needing plans drawn for a renovation. Thanks!"

"Shane was very professional and well priced. If it had not been for Shane and the job he did for us, we wouldnt have been able to undertake one our biggest and most exciting bathroom renovations. He made the process seemles and easy as. I cant say enough good things about - and the funny thing is we've never actually met as yet, we might have to remedy that with lunch sometime!

"I found Shane online originally through builderscrack. He advertised like he was a professional, and was quick to respond so thought I would give him a shot.
He gave us the most competitive price by a long shot and delivered more than what I expected.
I would thoroughly recommend his work, and wish him all the best."

"I required a quick turn round on a set of updated plans for my property when going through a Code Compliance activity for historical consented works.

Shane provided me with an excellent service - cost, time and quality - and made the technical requirements of the process plain sailing.

The quality and detail on the plans produced made the approval process with Council very straight forward."

"Paragon were fantastic to deal with, able to take our broad ideas and turn them into real concepts. Shane even handled all of the consent process, making it stress free and easy. Highly recommended."

"We employed Shane to do a small draughting job for us (after calling many larger firm's who were just not interested due to the size of the job). He was very efficient, quick and accommodating to our needs - even coming out to do the measurements on a weekend. Shane lodged the plans with Council and handled any queries (if there was any). We now have the building permit in our hands and can recommend Shane unreservedly."

"I have employed Shane to prepare as-built drawings for two houses. I am a Registered Architect and know good work when I see it. Shane's drawings were clear, accurate, and very well presented in both cases. I would certainly employ him again should we need his service."
