"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"Firmin is a pleasure to work with. He is professional, responsive, and he helped me immensely by creating a set of drawings for a condo renovation. He came over to my house, discussed the project with me and made me realize that my design needed some adjustments. I was very grateful for this because I think I would not have liked it otherwise. He created the drawings on schedule and delivered by the agreed upon deadline. I would hire Senga Architects again without thinking twice."

"We hired Trudy to convert our three-flat into a two-flat — a complex project — and she knocked it out of the park. Her design was outstanding, her knowledge of city codes and permitting was spot-on, and she coordinated seamlessly with our GC. She even worked with structural engineer to make our third floor work. Always kind, always available, and truly a master of her craft. She’s become a good firend as well. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for drafting or cadd service projects in Chicago, IL

You’ll want the right pro for the job. Hire a draftsperson when you need cost-efficient technical drawings, choose an architect for a full design and aesthetics, and bring in a structural engineer if safety or load-bearing elements are in play. Each expert keeps your plans code-compliant and your project on track.

Yes, a qualified draftsperson can produce a complete set of residential blueprints for building a house without an architect’s oversight. Look for a drafting pro in your area with current certification and solid experience, then confirm with your local building department that the draftsperson’s stamp meets building codes in the area where you live.

Technically, you can draw your own blueprints, but drafting an accurate, code-ready plan is a tall order. Misplaced walls or overlooked regulations can trigger expensive delays once construction starts. If you want to stay on schedule and meet local requirements, let an architect, draftsperson, or engineer refine—or redraw—your plans. Their fee is minor compared with the cost of fixing mistakes in the field.
