Clear Architectural Drawings for Residential and Commercial Projects
FirstPass Drafting prepares architectural drawings that document the layout, dimensions, configuration and construction intent of a building project.
Architectural drafting may be provided as an individual service or as the architectural portion of a complete permit set.
Quick Answer · A-100.QA
Architectural drafting produces the drawings that document a building project: floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules and details. Homeowners, contractors and business owners preparing residential or commercial permit submittals use it to describe the work clearly. FirstPass Drafting prepares these sheets as a standalone service or as the architectural portion of a complete permit set, with the drawing list developed around the actual scope and the reviewing jurisdiction.
