Dependable plan support without adding in-house drafting staff.
Accudrafters can work with the contractor, the homeowner, or both, depending on the written project arrangement. The objective is to clarify the design, organize decisions, and produce a usable permit-review drawing package.
Published pricing
Fixed-fee project categories apply when the scope matches a published service. Contractor interviews, selection support, unusual coordination, and miscellaneous work are $115 per hour.
Typical scope
What the service can include
- Defined intake requirements and written scope
- Existing-condition, demolition, and proposed plans as needed
- Client-facing online design review when authorized
- Shared project folder and drawing delivery
- Integration of separately provided engineering information
- Permit-body redline corrections within original scope
Planning questions
What should be considered early
- Who provides field measurements and photographs
- Who has authority to approve design changes
- Whether the contractor or owner will submit for permit
- Engineering, survey, and specialty vendor responsibilities
- Preferred drawing milestones for estimating
- Required turnaround and current scheduling
Project-based drafting support
Outside residential drafting support when adding permanent staff does not make sense.
Contractors, remodelers, and builders can use Accudrafters as project-based outside drafting support for defined residential scopes. For firms that prefer to outsource drafting when workload or project complexity requires it, the process can include online design review, shared project files, coordinated plan development, and delivery of the agreed drawing package without adding an in-house drafting position.
