Architectural Working Drawings
Once the design development drawings from Stage 2 are finalized, our team will begin creating the architectural working drawings, which are detailed plans that the build team will use to construct the home. We offer all of our Design Services a la Carte, so no matter what stage you want to start with us in the process, we can assist in bringing your dream design to paper.
Stage 3 of the Design Process
In Stage 3 of the Design Process all the details pertaining to construction will be added, including the structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical elements, to create a complete set of drawings that meet the appropriate municipality requirements for building permit submission.
It's important that these working documents are very thorough and include detailed information for the builder to follow precisely. This is integral to ensuring a smooth construction process from start to finish.
Sample Architectural Drawings
Here are some architectural working documents from past projects, just before the construction phase commenced. Browse our gallery to see how these projects transformed from plans on paper to fully complete homes.

Architectural Working Drawing Process
Once in the architectural working drawing phase, a review is included to go over the building permit drawing package and discuss any comments. This phase can take about 1 month, depending on the complexity of the design and the size of the home.
Included: All construction details including Construction Assemblies, Air Barriers, Framing Plan, Roof Plan, Foundation Plan, and Windows and Door Schedule
Additional Services
3rd Party Consultants such as Engineers & Pre Eng Truss & Floor Layout Design required for permits will be coordinated by the builder and reviewed by our design team.
The architectural working drawings phase is where all the thoughtful work from the schematic design and design development phases come together into one set of finalized plans that will guide all aspects of the project moving forward.
