Sheet A-010 · Index of work

Three drawing services for houses on the verge of work.

Each one has a fixed price and a defined set of sheets, so you know what arrives and what it costs before we pick up the laser. Billed by invoice: half to hold the date, the balance on delivery.

The core work / 04

Measure it, plan it, submit it.

The three services follow a house through its life as a project. Buy one alone or take them in order; the existing-conditions drawing is reused in every one that follows.

Series A-100 · Existing

As-built measured drawings

We walk every room with a laser, check diagonals for out-of-square corners, and draw the house as it truly stands. The stair rise that isn’t quite code, the chimney that bumps into the closet: both go on the sheet, dimensioned to ⅛″.

Included

  • Existing floor plan for each level
  • Wall thicknesses, openings and ceiling heights
  • Photos keyed to the plan

Scope

  • Houses up to 1,800 sq ft
  • One site visit, 2–4 hours
  • PDF and editable DWG

Series A-200 · Proposed

Floor plans & elevations

For the renovation, addition or resale you’re still deciding on. Proposed layouts are drawn to scale, dimensioned and free of furniture clutter, so three contractors price the same house and the numbers can actually be compared.

Included

  • Dimensioned plan for every level
  • Four exterior elevations
  • Two layout revision rounds

Scope

  • Renovations, additions, garages
  • Existing plan reused if we drew it
  • PDF and editable DWG

Series A-300 · Submission

Permit-ready construction sets

The whole submission, arranged the way a plan reviewer reads: cover and code notes, demolition and proposed plans, elevations, sections and details. A deck is a single clean sheet; a whole-house renovation runs A-001 through A-401.

Included

  • Sheets A-001 to A-301 (A-401 for renovations)
  • One round of building-office comments
  • Revisions numbered and clouded

Scope

  • Drawn for your engineer’s or architect’s markup
  • Stamps and structural calcs stay with them
  • Room addition or deck $1,865; renovation $3,420
