Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Design and drafting should support the permit process without becoming a permit-only exercise.
Accudrafters works with homeowners and contractors on residential projects that need both design judgment and coordinated drawings. The goal is a plan that works for the owner and gives contractors and reviewers a clear, consistent description of the intended work.
New home planning
Develop room relationships, circulation, exterior character, site response, garages, porches, and practical daily use before converting the design into working drawings.
Additions and remodels
Coordinate proposed work with existing plans, field conditions, structural limitations, utilities, and the parts of the house that remain.
Secondary structures
Plan detached garages, workshops, studios, guest structures, and other accessory projects around site fit and the appropriate permit-review scope.
Contractor drafting support
Provide organized residential drawing support for estimating, owner review, corrections, and permit submittal when a contractor needs an outside drafting resource.
Local project context
Rio Rancho has its own Building Division and residential submittal process.
The City of Rio Rancho publishes separate forms and checklists for new homes, additions/remodels, garages, secondary structures, and other residential work. Applications and plan submittals are handled through the City's Building Division and its current online/email process.
Because Rio Rancho reviews residential construction under City jurisdiction, project location should be identified at the beginning rather than treating every Central New Mexico permit path as interchangeable. Drainage, grading, utilities, site information, and project type can change what the submittal needs.
Accudrafters prepares the residential design and drafting scope agreed with the client. Permit fees, engineering, surveying, soils, civil work, truss design, and other third-party services are separate unless specifically included in writing.

Common questions
Questions homeowners and contractors often ask.
Does Rio Rancho require plans for additions and remodels?
The City lists addition/remodel permitting and plan-review materials among its residential Building Division resources. The exact submittal depends on the scope.
Can Accudrafters prepare drawings for a contractor's client?
Yes. Contractor drafting support can be defined for client coordination, estimating, redlines, and permit-review packages.
Do you work on new homes as well as remodels?
Yes. Accudrafters provides custom-home, addition, remodel, accessory-structure, existing-condition, and related residential design/drafting services.
