Residential Drawings
If you already have a plan or have had a conceptual design done by us, our drafting service will provide the drawings you need to get permits and construct the home (working drawings). A typical completed set of working drawings will consist of 5-10 sheets of the following:
Exterior Elevations
Elevations will be produced of all four sides of the home showing all exterior finishes, window and door details, lot grading, deck locations, etc. Additional elevations and details may be required on a per plan basis.
Floor Plans
The conceptual plans you started off with, now get all of the final detail added into the drawings. The floor plans will go through a comprehensive structural analysis. Any unusual conditions will be specifically noted or referred on to a structural engineer for further analysis. The locations of all elements such as; windows, doors, walls, cabinetry, ceiling details and staircases, will be precisely determined. Interior elevation details of elements such as arches and fireplaces may be produced on a per plan basis or at the direction of our client.
Cross sections
These drawings are intended to show the specific heights and construction of walls, foundations, floors and roof. Multiple sections may be required to fully illustrate the construction of the home.
Roof Plan
For complex roof designs especially, a well laid out roof plan will address all roof pitches, overhang depths, fascia sizes and drainage solutions for any valleys in the roof layout.
Building Specifications
The specifications are a comprehensive list of all the various materials and standards that the home will be constructed with. Clients can request specific items in their specification or choose a standard set of construction specifications.
Lighting and Electrical Plans
These optional plans show locations of all the lights, switches and outlets for the interior and exterior of the home.
