What Makes a Good Drafting Set?

A good drafting set isn’t just a bunch of lines on paper—it’s a communication tool that brings your project to life, keeps everyone aligned, and prevents costly mistakes. Whether you’re building a home, developing an RV park, or laying out a septic system, your drawings are the foundation of success.
1. Clear and Accurate Floor Plans
The heart of any drafting set is the floor plan. A well-drawn plan shows dimensions, room labels, door and window placement, and structural elements with precision. I ensure every line is clear and every label is legible to make it easy for builders, inspectors, and clients to interpret.
2. Detailed Site Layouts
For larger projects like RV parks, equestrian centers, or new home lots, the site plan is critical. It should include property lines, setbacks, utility placements, septic locations, and any relevant topography. I draw site plans that meet code requirements and support permit applications.
3. 3D Modeling and Visualization
In many cases, seeing a 3D model helps clients better understand the design. I offer 3D modeling for log homes, metal buildings, and more—helping clients visualize form, scale, and flow before a shovel hits the ground.
4. Septic and Specialty Systems
Special systems like septic designs require their own layer of detail. I work with engineers or health departments to draft accurate layouts that comply with local regulations while staying functional and efficient.
5. Buildable, Code-Aware Design
With 30 years of construction experience behind me, I know what it takes to make a design truly buildable. I apply that knowledge to every drawing set—so you don’t waste time fixing things in the field.
Why It Matters
A quality drafting set saves time, reduces change orders, speeds up permitting, and gives your project the best chance at success. If you’re planning a build, renovation, or development, let me help you start with the right foundation.
