Custom house plans
Residential drafting carries the approved design into a coordinated house-plan package.
For custom homes, casitas, ADUs, and guest houses, the work moves from layout and design decisions into residential drafting that documents the selected direction. Floor plans, elevations, roof and foundation information, electrical coordination, schedules, and other agreed drawings are developed as a coordinated package for clients in Albuquerque and Central New Mexico.
More than plan production
Use the design process to make the home better before construction begins.
Layout, circulation, storage, daylight, exterior form, room relationships, construction priorities, and cost-conscious choices are easier to evaluate while the project is still being designed. Accudrafters brings experienced residential design judgment into those decisions, then documents the selected direction.
