Your Drafting Department - Without the Overhead
We provide professional residential drafting and plan support for local builders across Alberta and beyond, who want to scale without adding internal design staff.
No payroll, no software, no HR risk - just buildable, permit-ready plans that work.
Our role is to act as an extension of your team, supporting the creation, maintenance, and ongoing management of your standard home plans so your projects move smoothly from design to permit to construction.
Who We Work With:
We typically work with small to mid-sized residential builders who:
- Build a handful to a few dozen homes per year
- Rely on standard or repeatable home models
- Do not have an in-house drafting or design department
- Need reliable plan updates as codes, communities, and requirements change
These builders are often caught between growing workloads and the cost of staffing a full drafting team. Our service fills that gap.
What We Do:
We specialize in creating and maintaining builders’ standard home plans, with a strong focus on constructability, permit efficiency, and long-term plan stability.
Our services include:
- Creation of builder standard home plans
- Ongoing maintenance and revision of existing models
- Permit-ready construction drawings for any major municipality
- Code-driven plan updates and adjustments
- Community- and jurisdiction-specific plan coordination
- Drafting support for new models, infill, and repeatable product
All work is completed with Alberta Building Code requirements and local permitting processes in mind.
Why Builders Choose This Model:
Many builders reach a point where plan maintenance starts competing with construction, scheduling, and sales priorities. We step in to support that workload without adding staff or long-term commitments.
This approach allows you to:
- Keep plans current and coordinated
- Reduce permit resubmissions and delays
- Scale drafting capacity as workload fluctuates
- Avoid internal payroll, software, and HR overhead
You stay focused on building. We handle the plans.
How Builders Typically Get Started:
Most builder partners start by having us create, update, or revise a single standard plan. From there, support can scale naturally into ongoing plan maintenance or drafting support as needed.
Whether you require help with one model or ongoing assistance across multiple plans, our engagement is flexible and builder-focused
