"This was the worst service ever. This woman does not know what she is doing and has a bad attitude. We started working together August 12th 2018. I didnt get approved until November 13 2019. She said it would only take 90 days AT MOST. She doesnt call and when you finally talk to her she has all kinds of excuses for why she cant call back. I was about to fire her and scrap my plans to go find someone else, but we really needed it done so my son just took over so I could stop dealing with her. She didnt do anything that she was supposed to do. Not knowledgeable at all. My contractor told me that the plans were terrible. On one of her checks she told me to write her a blank check for the city. She said it would not be over 500 dollars. She charged me 850 and never called to confirm me. Other payments started at one price and would go up a couple hundred or so dollars. On our last payment she tried to charge me additional money. I found the text that she told me exactly how much it cost to refute it. I referred a church member/friend to her in the very beginning stages, as we were using the same general contractor. He started working with her in December of 2018 and he STILL does not have his plans approved. Absolutely disgraceful service. The only good thing about this is that I am done with her!"

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.
