Meet Your Designer
- My name is Ben Laughlin, and I am the owner and draftsperson at AJM Drafting Services. My background in the building industry began on the tools as a contract carpenter, working directly on job sites and interpreting plans into real construction. This hands-on experience naturally evolved into a passion for drafting and designing new homes. With a practical understanding of how buildings come together, I create clear, accurate and buildable plans that support a smoother approval process and confident construction. My focus is on designing functional, comfortable and liveable spaces tailored to Tasmanian conditions and my clients’ needs. Whether it’s a new home, renovation or extension, I bring both technical knowledge and practical insight to every project. What I Bring to Your Project - Practical, real-world building experience - Clear and accurate drafting documentation - Designs that consider how the home will actually be built - Reliable communication from first concept to final plans Who I Work With - Homeowners planning new builds or renovations - Builders needing clear and buildable plans - Developers and investors seeking efficient documentation - Building surveyors and consultants involved in approvals Based in Tasmania, AJM Drafting Services provides professional building design and drafting across the state.
