Home Owners

Our home drafting services are tailored to your specific needs and project demands, focused around meeting your deadlines.

Whether you are doing a renovation, home addition or building a new custom home, an effective plan is essential to a successful endeavour, regardless of the budget.

By always holding your vision as the foundation of your project, we will guide you through the design process while sharing various options along the way in a collaborative environment to bring your dreams to reality.

We will help you get the ball rolling with your very own carefully crafted plans from the technologists and designers at Thomas Drafting. You can be as involved, or as set apart from the design process, as you wish.

Reach out today and contact us; we are always willing to share our knowledge. Something great can start today!

Your dream home is in our capable hands from start to finish. We understand how overwhelming searching for the right house can be, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing how to start.

Finding needs and wants in your house is the first step. You may know exactly what you want, or you may have a general idea and need someone to transfer your ideas onto paper.

You will first sit down with our team to discuss the different styles of houses, plans and the multitude of options available to help you decide what you want.

Then, once you have your construction drawings, you will be able to send them to tender and know you’re getting a realistic price. Since we work with many builders from various areas, we can provide several contractor recommendations that would be the right fit for your job.

Whether you already know exactly what you want or have a general idea, we will listen to your ideas and needs and help transform your existing house into the home you’ve always wanted.

Sit with our team to review the different styles of houses, plans and the multitude of other options available to help you decide what you want.

The construction plans that result are a crucial element at the beginning of your project, as they allow for accurate pricing, prevent the “not my job” or “I didn’t know” statements, and effectively solve most misunderstandings.

How a project runs

1. Initial design meeting and collaboration
2. Field measure or site survey
3. Preliminary design drawings
4. 3D renderings and concept sketches
5. Modifications and design exploration
6. Approved preliminary plans
7. Construction drawings and coordination with engineers
8. Issued building permit drawings and schedules
9. Submission of the building permit application
