"Steven Koski our draftsperson of Drafting Homes helped us with our rezoning project in Santa Clara, CA. He helped us put together plan drawings of our property before and after the rezone. He was very pleasant to work with, listened to all of our needs and his work product was exceptional with an attention to detail. He produced the work in a timely manner and followed up to make sure we were happy with our finished product. His pricing was very reasonable as well too. We would highly recommend working with Steven of Drafting Homes."

"I would highly recommend Christopher for his drafting skills.,his 3d software is especially useful for relaying the building concepts. In todays world it is rare to get a person on the phone when needed but Christopher was always there for me to answer questions and was quick to return requests. Be sure to give him all the necessary design criteria in the beginning to smooth out the design process for him which will ultimately save you money."

"Can't recommend Diebel and Company highly enough. I have worked with this firm 3 times since 2009. Again, in 2015, and once again in 2019. Back in 2009, my wife and I interviewed many architects, and Diebel and Company just made us very at ease. He was always easy to work with, communicative, attentive to our wants and needs, and sensitive to our budget. His work is exemplary throughout our ten years working with him. I wished all businesses were as professional and quality-oriented as Diebel and Company. Do yourself a favor and contact them now with all your construction design needs."

FAQs for drafting or cadd service projects in San Mateo, 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.
