Spokane Discount Drafting
I have an unusual education that most drafters and designers don't have. I actually know how to build the plans that I draw because I have been building many of the projects that I have designed for several years. I started out at the age of 12 working with my father learning to put in foundations then I learned framing and finish carpentry in my 20's. Later in my 30's I had a crew of carpenters that worked at constructing the homes for our homebuilding company. During a period of ten years we built about 400 homes in Spokane.
As a foundation tradesman growing up and later on my own, I learned exactly what is required in a plan for that portion of the building process. The plan is the most important to the framer and I have framed literally hundreds of homes with crews as the laborer, the cut man, the layout man, and the lead man. As I draft the building plans, I am envisioning how the pieces will literally be cut and nailed and joined together in a way that very few other draftsman have the experience to do.
As a general contractor I know what the other trades need on the plan, what the building department needs and what the contractor needs to bid the project and then build it. I also know I can save you some times thousands on a full set of house plans. Small project plans like additions, shops and decks normally cost between $200 and $600 depending on the complexity of the project and your location.
On a job last summer my client got a quote for $2200 to have his custom home sketches drawn up into a full set of working plans, I did them for $1,000. The going rate is $1.00 a square foot for plan drafting. Working at a $45 hourly rate I just finished a full set of drawings on a large 2-story home for $1600 that would have cost my client $6,400.
What you will get:
*Front, Back and side Elevations
*Foundation and Footing Plans
*Floor Plans
*Roof and Floor Layout
Upon completion my plans will be ready for permits, bidding and construction under normal conditions.
