"Joel Colombo's team was absolutely amazing! His daughter, Kerri, was a huge help during the whole process. Before we even hired them, Kerri contacted the city of Rancho Cucamonga to inquire about the city's requirements to make sure everything was done correctly. She was professional, informative and communicated well, always making sure we were kept up to date on the project's progression. Kerri made the project seem effortless on our part, taking care of everything and submitting the finalized blueprints to the city on our behalf. We plan to use Joel's team and Kerri on our next project too. Overall, we are very satisfied with the service we received. Thank you, Kerri!"

"Working with Olalde was a great experience. They’ve been very communicative, hardworking and punctual. They did an entire home remodel for us. We’re awaiting permits to build an ADU and a porch on the front house, and will be utilizing them for those builds as well. The Project Manager makes conversations very comfortable. He’s upfront and cares about you as a customer. We made a few changes during the project and he was quick to get those done. We would recommend Olalde, and we look forward to using them again soon."

"Horrible experience. We were in a hurry for a permit set for a very simple architectural roof change. They drew things they didn't need to draw, took weeks longer than expected, missed and changed deadline dates, wouldn't refund the "expedited" timeline fee, would sometimes not reply or respond. Horrible experience. Do not recommend. "

FAQs for drafting or cadd service projects in Palm Springs, CA

Architectural drafting includes roofing. Some professionals who work at roofing manufacturing or installation companies may only work on roofing and cladding components.

A floor plan is a simplified drawing of the layout of rooms on one floor of a home. These are usually created by designers for arranging furniture and appliances. These are not technical drawings or blueprints and should not be used in place of them.

Draughtsman is simply the European spelling of draftsman. The terms are interchangeable.

If you have a complete design idea for a residential property and either you or your contractor employs an engineer, you can hire a draftsman to make your design into usable technical drawings. This is typical for simple additions and remodels like adding a bathroom, finishing a basement or adding a garage.

Traditionally, blueprints are technical drawings in white on blue paper. The term is now used interchangeably with any type of digital construction plan. Classic blueprints are still in use for older homes. Drafters translate these paper plans into digital representations when remodeling or adding on to older homes.

Little similarities exist between draftsmen, engineers and designers. They all complement and often work on teams with each other.

  • Drafter – creates technical drawings from design ideas. Usually works for engineers, designers and architects.

  • Engineer – designs and oversees the technical aspects of a construction project. Where an architect thinks of design aspects, the engineer works on making it a reality. They are mostly concerned with environmental issues and meeting all codes and regulations for the safety aspects of the project. They also manage projects.

  • Designer – only concerned with the visual aspects of a project. They often create their own technical drawings though sometimes work in conjunction with engineers, architects and draftspersons.
