We are a reputable architectural design company that specializes in a variety of interior design and spatial planning projects. We take pride in our ability to exceed expectations in all aspects of business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients, and guarantee your satisfaction. Prior projects that we have worked on include additions to single family dwellings, second units (ADU), change of use for commercial spaces and interior remodels.

"Absolutely awful experience. I paid a large down payment for engineering drawings that were never delivered. The owner was completely incompetent, missed every deadline, and constantly made excuses. She promised a licensed engineer was working on the project, but I never had any contact with this person ? it became clear the engineer was never actually involved. After months of delays and no progress, I asked for a refund, which she flat-out refused. I was forced to take her to court, where I won the case and was awarded a refund. Even after a legal judgment, she still hasn?t paid me. She shows zero professionalism, zero accountability, and absolutely no integrity. All the negative reviews I saw before hiring her were spot-on ? I just wish I had listened. She takes people?s money, delivers nothing, and hides when held responsible. This is not just bad service ? it?s unethical. Avoid this company and individual at all costs."

FAQs for drafting or cadd service projects in Santa Monica, 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.
