What Residential CAD Drafting Services Typically Include

What Residential CAD Drafting Services Typically Include

Core deliverables in a residential drafting package

Residential CAD drafting typically includes floor plans for each level, exterior elevations from multiple angles, a roof plan, and basic construction details like wall sections, all prepared in a CAD format that a builder or permitting office can use directly.

Some residential projects also require electrical layout drawings, foundation plans, and framing plans depending on the scope of the project and local permitting requirements, which vary by jurisdiction.

What to clarify before hiring a drafting service

Confirm whether the deliverable will be permit-ready or just a design-development set, since permit-ready drawings require more detail, code compliance checks, and often a licensed professional's stamp depending on local requirements.

  • Floor plans for each level of the home
  • Exterior elevations and roof plan
  • Wall sections and basic construction details
  • Confirm whether the set is permit-ready or design-development only
