01 · THE OVERVIEW

About this business

In the broker's words

Full description, as written by the broker

A rare opportunity to step into a streamlined, profitable drafting business serving large volume residential builders!

The business operates as an outsourced drafting department for major residential builders, processing hundreds of jobs annually from repeat clients. Over multiple years, the owner has developed comprehensive master files, builder-specific standards, and detailed QA checklists that enable consistent, accurate plan delivery aligned to each client’s requirements.

The operation is fully remote and location-independent, with all communication managed via email and phone. The business utilises a proven contractor model with experienced external drafters completing production work, while the owner focuses on workflow coordination and quality assurance. This structure provides low fixed overheads and strong operating leverage.

The business has demonstrated consistent year-on-year performance, with net income improving following a strategic focus on higher-margin clients and work types. Long-standing client relationships and embedded workflows provide a solid platform for continuity under new ownership. There is further upside for a new owner to approach previously declined custom builders or expand into new project types if desired.

With the current owner available to work part-time alongside the prospective buyer, a smooth transition of ownership is ensured to allow for client retention and slick service. This is a true opportunity for someone seeking an efficient, systems-driven business with strong repeat revenue, and the freedom to work from anywhere, without the hassle of marketing or business development.

Profitable business: Strong net income with year-on-year growth and low overheads
No marketing required: All work comes direct from major volume builders, no need to chase clients or advertise
Fully remote operation: Run from anywhere in Australia or overseas
Documented systems and workflows in place
Flexible hours with a manageable workload

This opportunity is well suited to an owner-operator with drafting or construction experience, or an industry participant seeking a bolt-on acquisition with established cash flow. Enquire today for more information.
