Taking the time to thoughtfully plan your project provides you with the necessary tools to be a well prepared, informed, and cost conscious consumer. You will have the information you need to save time and money before construction ever begins.
Terms and Conditions:
Art By Design Computer Aided Drafting, LLC (ABDCAD,LLC) is a Design/Plan Drafting Service. 3d Visual Modeling is offered as an additional service. A contractual agreement specifying the scope of the work, cost of the service, and a description of the drawings provided to the Owner by ABDCAD,LLC shall be in place before any work begins. ABDCAD,LLC is not an Architectural Firm and makes no claim as such. The design drawings provided by ABDCAD,LLC are conceptual in nature and therefore may require additional engineering as specified or requested by the Owner, General Contractor, or local Building Official. ABDCAD,LLC makes every effort to provide drawings that are prepared for permitting, however, additional Architectural Code Review, Engineering including structural, electrical, mechanical, soils, and/or other professional consultation may be required to complete the design project.

Design / Drafting Fees:
ABDCAD,LLC Residential Design / Drafting Typical Fees:
    New Construction including homes, garages, patios, and decks: $1.25 per square foot on the First Floor level and $1.00 per square foot for a Second Floor level or more.
      For example: A single story 1600 S.F Home with a 750 S.F. Garage, and 200 S.F. of Covered Patio equals 2,550 S.F. Multiplied by $1.25 for a cost of $3,188.00. Add a 500 S.F Second Level to this plan, 500 S.F. Multiplied by $1.00 per square foot for a cost of $500.00.
    New Construction including a finished basement: $.0.30 per square foot.
      For example: using the 1600 S.F. home in the example above and adding a full basement equals 1600 S.F. Multiplied by $0.30 for a cost of $480.00.
    Remodeling including Room Additions, Outdoor Decks, or Outdoor Living Areas: $3.00 per square foot of area.
      For example: Using the existing 1600 S.F. Home, Garage, and Covered Patio in the example above and adding an 800 S.F. Room Addition equals 800 S.F. Multiplied by $3.00 for a cost of $2,400.00. Planning a remodeling project requires much more attention to the existing structure, property, and aesthetic conditions than new construction. The process is much more labor intensive requiring reproductions of the existing structure first, therefore the cost to produce a finished design is more.
