Question 1

What is the difference between design drawings and permit drawings?

Accepted Answer

Design drawings communicate layout and intent — they show what you want to build. Permit drawings meet your jurisdiction's submittal requirements and may require a stamp from a licensed structural engineer. We can coordinate both.

Question 2

Do I need to provide existing plans?

Accepted Answer

Existing plans help speed things up but are not required. If none exist, we can coordinate an as-built field survey first so the new drawings are based on accurate measurements.

Question 3

What file format will I receive?

Accepted Answer

Drawings are delivered as PDF plan sets, layered AutoCAD DWG files, or both — depending on what your contractor or building department needs.

Question 4

Can you draft from hand sketches or field measurements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clients regularly submit rough sketches, photos, or a written description and we take it from there. The clearer your inputs, the faster we can produce clean, organized CAD drawings.
