House plan drafting covers four kinds of home project
House plan drafting services cover four kinds of home project: new single-family homes, additions and remodels, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and decks. Each is drawn from the sketch, reference plan or measurements supplied, and each ends in a set of dimensioned sheets.
Homeowners and builders order these plan sets, as do architects, designers and developers.
A house plan set holds the plans, elevations, sections and site plan
A house plan set holds floor plans and elevations, sections and a roof plan, a foundation plan and a site plan. The details, schedules and cover sheet tie them together. The site plan comes from the lot survey, and each sheet carries only what the sketch and the survey show.
A hand sketch is enough to start a house plan
A hand sketch or a napkin layout is enough to start, and the other files below are added only as the project calls for them.
Layout decisions stay with the owner, designer or builder; we put them on the plan set
We draw house plans as the sketch lays them out; we do not design the home, run engineering or apply a seal.
You, your builder and the building department settle whether a project also needs an architect or an engineer, for its design or for a seal.
A house plan set is not the only drawing a home project needs
For a remodel or an addition, the existing house is drawn first, as an as-built, so the new plans start from what stands. After the set, a permit set drawn to the jurisdiction's checklist goes to the building department.
A house plan set is checked twice more after the drafter has finished it
Two more people review a house plan set, which makes three QA stages before delivery.
