What residential drafting covers. Residential drafting turns a design into the drawings a building department approves and a contractor builds from: site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections and construction details, coordinated with the structural engineer and Title 24 energy compliance. In California, most single-family homes and additions don’t require an architect, so homeowners hire a drafting firm directly. Builders and general contractors use us for permit plan sets too.

We draw home additions, kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house remodels and custom homes, ADUs and as-built drawings, across Monterey County and Santa Cruz County. We don’t build and we aren’t an architecture firm. Not sure which you need? See when you need an architect in California.
