Residential Architectural Drafting Services

Professional residential architectural drafting services for home additions, ADUs, and accessory structures, serving Portland, Oregon and SW Washington.

I provide professional residential architectural drafting services for homeowners, contractors, and property owners in Portland, Oregon & SW Washington. All plans are focused on clarity, code compliance, and smooth permitting.

From single-family homes to home additions and ADUs, I deliver permit-ready construction drawings that meet city and county requirements.

What Are Residential Architectural Drafting Services?

Architectural drafting transforms your project concept into precise, buildable drawings. Drafting services ensure that your plans are clear for city permitting, builders, and engineers.

Typical drafting services include:

• Floor plans, elevations, and sections
• Structural alterations and additions
• ADU and garage conversion drawings
• Detached shops, accessory structures, and small commercial projects
• Corrections for unpermitted construction
• Plan revisions and engineer coordination

CAD-Based Drafting for Accuracy

All drawings are produced using professional CAD software for maximum precision. This allows:

• Accurate dimensions for contractors
• Easy revisions and updates
• Compliance with local city and county codes

Projects I Specialize In

• New single-family homes
• Home additions and dormers
• ADUs and garage conversions
• Detached accessory structures
• Small light commercial projects
• Unpermitted construction corrections

When Is a Licensed Architect Required?

Not all residential drafting projects require a licensed architect. Many projects—including single-family homes, home additions, and ADUs—can be drafted by an experienced residential architectural draftsman.

However, certain projects may require a licensed architect or engineer, such as:

• Large multi-story structures
• Complex structural designs
• Occupancy or use changes

I coordinate with licensed professionals when required to ensure permit approval.
