01 What a set costs

Three ways to put a stamped set in your hands

Flat, per-set pricing. No hourly meter running while a reviewer takes their time. You see the number before the first line is drawn.

Starting point

As-built redraw

From $385 per existing structure

Paper plans, a PDF, or raw laser measurements turned into clean, editable .dwg geometry. The base layer every remodel is drawn on.

Send the plans
The workhorse

Remodel permit set

From $1,150 per permit set

Kitchens, baths, additions, garage conversions — a full set with the structural details and load notes your plan reviewer actually circles when they’re missing.

Ground up

New residential

From $2,600 per house set

Complete construction documents for a new single-family home: plans, elevations, sections, foundation and framing — coordinated sheet to sheet.

Scope the project
02 What’s in the set

A drawing set built to clear review the first time

A plan reviewer isn’t grading your craftsmanship. They’re hunting for what’s missing. We give them a set with nothing left to circle.

  1. 01
    Dimensioned floor plansEvery wall located, every opening called out, nothing scaled off the drawing.
  2. 02
    Foundation & framing plansFootings, bearing walls, headers, and the connections detailed — not just drawn.
  3. 03
    Elevations & building sectionsExterior views and wall assemblies that show how the thing actually goes together.
  4. 04
    A code-ready title blockDesign loads, wind speed, and project data spelled out the way your county wants it.
  5. 05
    Electrical & reflected ceilingAdded on request when the scope calls for it — no surprise upcharge mid-project.
  6. 06
    Native .dwg filesEditable CAD you own, not a flattened PDF you have to redraw next time.
03 Why sets get bounced
A reviewer spends ninety seconds deciding whether to stamp your set or send it back. Give them nothing to circle.
  • Missing structural details

    A header the inspector can’t size or a connection that isn’t called out — flagged on sight.

  • Dimensions that don’t add up

    Walls that total one number on the plan and another on the elevation. Reviewers notice.

  • A title block with holes in it

    No design criteria, no scale, no wind load — an incomplete sheet never gets stamped.

  • Hand sketches on notebook paper

    The fastest way to lose a week. A counter clerk won’t even open the file.

04 How we work

One set, one draftsman

Your drawings aren’t passed down a chain of three people. The person who lines the first sheet closes out the last revision.

72
hours
Typical turnaround on a first-draft set, measured from the day we have your measurements.

Red-lined before you see it

We check the set against your county’s own submittal checklist first. Revisions until it gets signed off are part of the number.

05 Start here
Send us the roughest sketch and the messiest survey you’ve got. We’ll hand back a set that gets stamped.
