Plan drawings and design sketches that show footprints, elevations, door and window layouts and roof lines, so you can approve a design and use it for permits.
A drawing answers questions that words cannot. Seeing the footprint, the door swing and the roof line on paper makes decisions easier and helps everyone agree. Owners in Nashville ask for drawings to review designs, discuss them with neighbors and satisfy permit offices and HOAs.
We start with a sketch of the footprint on your site plan, then add elevations from each side, a floor plan and a section where the roof or loft needs explaining. Dimensions, materials and key details are labeled. For larger or more complex buildings, we coordinate with an engineer or designer when needed, and we revise drawings with you until they match your vision. Drawings do not need to be complicated to be useful. A clean site plan, a floor plan and four elevations show most of what neighbors, HOAs and permit offices want to see. We add dimensions, materials and key details, then review everything with you on site or by phone. If something changes during construction, we update the drawings so you have an accurate record of what was actually built.
