I highly recommend ADS Drafting. Tony did a fantastic job for us, creating a complete set of house plans and submitting the entire drawing package to the SR City Building Dept for our Fire Rebuild in Coffey Park. We start construction this summer 2022. The design process was very fast and organized, as we interactively stepped through locking the outer shape/size of the foundation, internal positioning/sizing of all rooms, minimizing wasted space, streamlining roof line shape/cosmetics, and finishing-off with the fine details of window sizing/placement, switches/outlets, internal/external lighting locations, heating/AC ducting, water/sewer plumbing. He is very familiar with local city and county building codes. Excellent knowledge of cost/quality differences for various building materials from previously working in his father's contracting business and doing lots DIY hands-on remodeling of his own home. He also pulled in a great local structural engineer to do the required calculations and drawing sign-off. He also pulled in a Title 24 Energy Analysis person to provide that required report per the City. The package also included the lot site plan drawing. Basically he handled the entire submittal for the building permit. As the homeowners we did our pre-work for ADS by initially providing ADS with a few baseline example floorplan sketches found online that had roughly the right size/shape, room layout and also a few street photos of some newly finished fire rebuilds in Santa Rosa to show the cosmetic look desired. ADS is very proactive, knowlegeble and flexible. Excellent communication and flexibility. Calling often with quick questions and doing quick short Zoom sessions to stay aligned with the customer and always keep the design moving forward. No waiting around and no surprises. Most importantly he uses one of the best software design tools (Revit software) which is not only extremely fast and accurate but provides instant 3-D visualizations of any part of the inside or outside of the house for fast interactive decision making on key design issues. This keeps the design moving forward quickly. Any change also ripples through the computer model instantly so there are no errors on later pages of the drawing package. (Avoids future conflicts with contractor due to errors on other pages of the drawings.) Again, I highly recommend ADS Drafting. The drafting work is fast, affordable, very accurate and very professional looking. We were extremely pleased with the process and results. Dennis read more

I was beginning a remodel on a house and I needed a set of plans drawn up for the contractors to follow and for getting quotes on doors, widows, etc... I found Affordable Drafting online and gave them a call. Tony returned my call within an hour and told me the services he offered. He then met me at the job-site the next day and looked everything over. The next evening I received a very fair proposal from him and agreed to it. He was out at the house the next day measuring. He gave me a set of plans for the existing structure within 3-4 days! After that, he met me back at the house and we went over the changes I wanted to make and a few days after that he handed me a highly accurate and detailed set finished set of plans. Tony was exactly what I was looking for-- he was affordable, friendly, and professional. He has a background in construction so he was able to problem-solve any issues that came up with the changes I wanted to make. On top of that, he was so fast! I was afraid I would have to wait a month or two for someone to draw plans for me but Tony had them finished in less than two weeks. I am definitely going to call him for my next project and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again, Tony. read more

Please do not look any further! Hire Tony, period. We just received our permit for an additional bathroom (new construction) that we are adding to our home. The town approved the plans on the first try! When does that happen? Although he advertises as a drafting service, his skillset and plans are that of an architect, and yes, at an affordable price. We could not have had a smoother experience from start to finish. Although he was busy with other projects, it always felt like we were his top priority and routinely available. He went out of his way to accommodate us, listened to our needs, and offered very helpful insights with very fast turn arounds. Tony is simply a super kind, creative, humble guy. He utilizes modern software giving you a 3D preview of what the space will look like before he starts to create the actual blueprints. At the end of the day you want a product that works. Not one of the various contractors, including the building department, had a concern or question about Tony's first draft that he submitted to us. Thank you so much Tony! Rockstar performance. read more

Affordable drafting helped us get through the hurdles with our kitchen renovation project. Tony is amazing and very prompt with his follow up. He stood out to me with his response time, thoroughness, and expertise in overall permit process. Their rates are very reasonable and would definitely work with Affordable drafting for any future projects. read more
