Drafting

Have an idea, but not a plan? We can work with you to draw your dream and generate building plans.

About the service

From garages, additions, rooms, kitchens, and baths to full building projects like homes, apartments, and light commercial spaces, our drafting service turns your ideas into detailed plans.

Drafting is the first step to turning an idea into a buildable plan. Every project begins with a consultation where one of our draftsmen take the time to understand your vision, requirements, and budget. From there, advanced drafting software is used to create precise layouts, elevations, and details that reflect both your goals and industry standards.

Throughout the process, you’ll be able to review drawings, request adjustments, and work side by side with the drafting team until the design is exactly what you need. Once the plans are finalized, the service continues with expert guidance in selecting materials that align with your design and budget. An accurate estimate is then prepared, helping you plan with confidence and avoid costly surprises later.

Drafting services are built to support everyone—from contractors who need fast, reliable plans for multiple builds to homeowners who may be navigating the process for the first time. With clear communication, accurate drawings, and practical guidance, your project is set up for success from the very beginning.

Freqently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.

How long does drafting take?

Most plans are completed within a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller projects may be finished sooner, while larger custom homes require more time for revisions and detail.

Can I make changes after the first draft?

Yes. Revisions are a normal part of the process. You’ll have the opportunity to review the initial drawings and request adjustments until the design fits your needs.

Do I own the plans when they’re finished?

Once final drawings are complete and approved, they are yours to use for construction or permitting.

Can you work from a sketch or idea?

Absolutely. Draftsmen can start from rough sketches, inspiration photos, or even just a conversation about your vision. From there, the details are developed into professional plans.
