The Draftly walkthrough — the five steps
Every Draftly project follows the same clear path. You don't need to know the tools behind it — you move through the steps and each one hands its result to the next.
1. Address and project
Tell Draftly where you're building and what you have in mind. This is where the project begins.
2. Site research
In seconds, Draftly gathers your planning zone, overlays, real lot boundary and the controls that apply to your land, drawn from official government sources. You see exactly what was found. See Site research.
3. Siting
Place your structure on your actual lot, and mark things like easements, stormwater and existing buildings on the map. See Placing your build on the lot.
4. Compliance
Draftly tests your design against the verified planning rules and flags anything that needs attention, so there are no surprises later. See Approval pathways.
5. Submission package
You finish with a lodgement-ready set of documents and your approval pathway — whether the project is exempt, complying, or needs a development application. See Your submission package.
Why the steps connect
Your verified site flows straight through into placing, checking and preparing your documents. Nothing is re-keyed and nothing is guessed. You can stop after any step and pick up where you left off — see Your projects.
