Best Drafting Service Thousand Oaks Near Me

4worldlovers:
At CADbuilt, we provide solutions to your drawing needs, whether you are a homeowner, general contractor or developer. We create professional CAD drawings based on your ideas (or ours, if you need help).

We can begin with any concept- even one sketched on a napkin, or an old blueprint. Whether you need design drawings or working drawings, we will get the job done quickly, and probably at a lower cost than what an architect would charge.

Concept & Design- we can start from a sketch on a napkin, a picture from a magazine, or photos of your dream home. We’ll listen to your ideas, then add our expertise. If you like what you hear, we’ll draw up a design contract with a not-to-exceed price.

As-built Plans- perhaps you just need plans drawn up for an existing building. We’ll come to the site, perform the necessary measurements then draft the plans.

Working Drawings- once the residential design plans are complete, you will need working drawings in order to obtain a building permit. For simple projects, we can create all the construction documents. For more complex projects, we will coordinate with outside experts (such as structural engineers) to get the necessary plans prepared.

Residential Title 24 Energy Calculations- if your project requires it, we can perform the necessary calculations and issue a report showing compliance with California’s Title 24 energy regulations.

Building Codes / Building Permits- dealing with the Planning or Building Department can be time-consuming and complicated, from researching zoning and building code requirements to filling out the necessary paperwork. Most people can think of better ways to spend their time. Let us do the legwork for you.

It’s a Team Effort- every construction project requires a team. In addition to the designer or architect, you may need a general contractor, structural engineer or various subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, etc.). Using our business network, we can bring in skilled professionals with the honesty, experience and commitment to get the job done in a timely fashion and at a fair price.

Flexibility- we can do as little or as much of the work as you desire. Some of the tasks, such as pulling permits, you may prefer to do yourself. We will help you strike the right balance between spending your valuable time vs. your hard-earned dollars.

Large Service Area- we primarily serve the following southern California regions: Ventura County (including Moorpark, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Oxnard and Ventura), Los Angeles County, and Santa Barbara County. We occasionally do projects outside the tri-county area, including Orange County and Catalina Island. Give us a call and we’ll be happy to assist you in whatever way possible.

Residential, or home, design and drafting is the process of creating design and construction plans (blueprints) for residential remodels, additions or new houses. In this article we will explore what residential design is and the residential design process. We’ll also take a look at numerous factors that must be taken into consideration before and during the residential design process, and how to find a good residential design company. Back to List

One of the most important decisions to be made during the residential design process concerns location.

For a room addition, location boils down to where the room(s) should be added, and this depends a great deal on the layout of the existing house. Is it single-story, or multiple stories? Is there plenty of room for expansion on the lot? From a cost standpoint, a single-story expansion is usually the least expensive approach. However, local “setback” requirements (i.e., minimum separation between your house and the property lines) may prevent you from expanding horizontally.
