What we offer.
Residential Drafting & Design
Custom design and drafting for new construction, additions, and remodels. Twenty five years of experience refining details together until the plans fit your life.

The process starts with a consultation to discuss your needs and vision. After schematic plans are sent for review, the collaborative work begins, refining the details and shaping the project to fit your life. Some clients arrive with a clear plan, others want to see multiple drafts to be certain. Both approaches are welcome.
Commercial drafting is offered under the supervision of an architectural or engineering firm. Software currently in use: AutoCAD LT 2024 and Revit 2025.
Existing-conditions floor plans are also available for both commercial and residential properties. Onsite measurements capture the essential dimensions and features of your space, producing reliable as-built drawings for renovations, real-estate marketing, layout planning, or property records.
Disclaimer: existing-conditions drawings can inform residential design changes; commercial renovations or additions must be designed by a licensed architect per state law.
What's Included
Residential construction drawings on 24×36 sheets including: title sheet, dimensioned floor plans, roof plan, elevations, and a schematic foundation plan.

Our Process
Start to finish.
Considering a custom home or an addition, but unsure about the process? Here's the typical flow for a new-construction project, with what you'll receive at each step.
-
Schedule an appointment
Schedule an appointment with Lisa in person either in office, virtually by Microsoft Teams, or by phone. Call to schedule and confirm our first available start date for new projects.
You receive: a confirmed start date. -
Floor plan design
New projects typically begin early in the week. Within a week you'll receive an 8½×11 PDF of the first preliminary floor plan for your review. We will refine the details together to meet your needs and goals. Once the first floor plan is approved, I will move on to the basement plan or 2nd floor plan. I delay this part until the exterior walls of the first floor plan are set in place and stairs are located to save you time and ultimately money on design fees.
You receive: a printable PDF preliminary floor plan. -
Elevations
Once all floor plans are approved, we move to the front elevation what the house looks like from the outside in 2D. We start with the rooflines on the front (usually the most important), then work through the other three elevations.
You receive: front, rear, and side elevation drawings. -
Approvals
After all revisions are made and the preliminary floor plans and elevations are approved, we take the preliminary designs forward and finish the project with construction / permit drawings.
You receive: a sign-off summary and project timeline. -
Final drawings
Final drawings are typically delivered within 5–8 business days after approval. The finished project is printed on 24×36 sized sheets and includes a cover sheet, dimensioned floor plans, roof plan, elevations, and foundation plan. Additional services for site plans, electrical plans, and other extras are available for additional fees.
You receive: one printed set + PDF; permit-ready.
How long does the process take?
Duration depends on project size and how quickly we move through each design stage. Smaller projects may take 2–4 weeks; larger projects may take 6–9 weeks. Contact us to book your start date.
