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.
