Permit-Ready Residential Drafting Services in Portland, Oregon
Permit-Ready Residential Drafting Services for Homes, Remodels, and ADUs
I provide professional residential drafting services for homeowners, builders, and designers across Portland and throughout Oregon who need permit-ready plans for new homes, remodels, and ADU projects. Each plan set is prepared with local zoning and building code requirements in mind and supported through the permitting process to help projects move forward efficiently and confidently.
Residential Drafting Services Tailored to Your Project
Each project is approached individually, with a focus on constructability, code compliance, and clear documentation for permit review. Whether you are planning a new custom home, updating an existing residence, or adding an ADU in Portland or elsewhere in Oregon, the goal remains the same: accurate, approval-ready drawings that builders, engineers, and reviewers can rely on.

Planning an ADU in the Portland PDX area?
Before drafting begins, you can use my ADU Feasibility Wizard for the Portland–Vancouver PDX area to generate a basic, free feasibility report.
For a deeper, project-specific review, this report can be upgraded to a detailed feasibility analysis that includes draftsman-level code review of zoning limits, lot size requirements, development potential, and permitting considerations for a $250 fee, credited toward future drafting services.
