Drafting

Residential plan drafting

Clear, buildable drawings for new homes, garages, additions, and remodels — prepared for your crew, your supplier, and your permit office.

Scope

  • Floor plans
  • Exterior elevations
  • Permit sets / permit-ready plans
  • Revisions to new or existing plans
  • Coordination with a structural engineer for stamped / certified plans when required

What you get

  • A drawing set prepared for permit submission
  • Drawings you can share with your crew, client, and suppliers
  • Revisions as the design or permit review requires
  • One point of contact for engineer coordination
Turnaround: depends on project size and complexity; a timeline is confirmed when scope is agreed.
Estimating

Framing & material takeoffs

Quantity takeoffs from your plans so you can get supplier pricing, write POs, and bid with confidence.

Scope

  • Framing takeoffs
  • Material takeoffs for supplier quotes and purchase orders
  • Takeoffs formatted to send to lumber suppliers and yards

What you get

  • An organized material list based on your plans
  • A takeoff ready to hand to your supplier for a quote or PO
  • Questions and plan discrepancies flagged along the way
Turnaround: typical takeoff lead time is 7–10 days from receiving the PO or request.
Consulting

Plan review & permit questions

Not every project needs a new set of drawings. Sometimes you just need someone to look over a plan set or help sort out what a permit reviewer is asking for.

What you get

  • A review of your plans with clear notes
  • Help interpreting permit review comments
  • Recommendations on next steps, including whether revisions or engineering are needed
