As-Built Drawings
Although it’s a term used exclusively by architects, As-Built Drawings are an important component in helping you get the design you want.
At Drafting Cafe, our team uses sophisticated technology to make sure your As-Built’s capture every detail. From 3D scans to high-end cameras, our technology ensures the final drawings never miss an inch. Our detailed documentation reduces issues during both design and construction, while our fly-through 3D scans also provide our team with the ability to virtually visit your home any time.
Design
See your dreams become a reality as you enter into our design process. Our designers are hyper-focused on your needs and pour their energy into bringing your project to life. Once they fully understand your vision, we’ll get to work providing multiple options so you can choose which one works best for you.
Living inside your dream home with every feature, every design, and every convenience you’ve ever wanted might seem miles away, but our design team is more than capable of making it a reality for your family. You’ll be amazed by how little direction you have to provide our skilled design team to get the results you want. Discover what it’s like to live inside your vision when you work with us.
Permit Drawings
You’ve gone through the design aspects of your project. Now it’s time to get the right approvals. Permit drawings help ensure the safety and legality of your home’s design. Our architects have extensive knowledge of the Bay Area’s building code requirements to get it right the first time.
Keep in mind, without permits you cannot build. We make sure that your project moves forward as quickly as possible while keeping it legal and safe. Every design requires permits, and if you don’t file them properly your project will experience delays. Don’t let this happen to your project. Our team has the experience to provide you with high quality permit drawings.
Interior Design
Interior design isn’t as simple as choosing a color palette. To execute your vision, your builder needs to know your preferences on many different decisions. From countertops to lighting fixtures, your design is a layered process. Having your choices in hand saves on change orders. And once you get past these decisions, you’ll need to decide on home décor ideas. Our Interior Design staff will help you with all these decisions and more.
Design to Build
You’re busy. You don’t have time to answer minor questions like, “What type of stair rail would you like?” Our Design to Build solutions provide your builder with a quick reply to the daily questions that pop up on the jobsite. We’ll pick out tile colors, decide on the perfect wall paint, and manage more industry-specific questions like sheetrock and plumbing fixtures.
You can trust us to provide the right answer for your builder. And best of all, we visit the jobsite regularly to get in-person verification that the project is on the right track.
Structural Engineering
Structural mistakes can be costly. You want a reliable, beautiful structure that lasts for years to come. From consultation through completion, we can help ensure your remodeling project is built with integrity and to code. Our expert structural engineers provide input through the design stages based on years of experience and education. We offer expert problem solving that will save you money in the long run.
