What Does It Cost to Turn a Graphite-Smudged Notebook Into Sheets a Plan Reviewer Will Sign Off On?

Between $285 and $1,640-plus, depending on how much house needs drawing. Each price is written down before we open your files, then it stays put. Here is every sheet we draw, what lands in your inbox, and what it costs.

Laser-Scan to Drawings

Three Ways to Hand Us a House

Pick whichever fits your afternoon. We send a one-page measuring guide with your quote, so the numbers close like a loop.

  1. i.
    Tape and notebookCorner-to-corner runs, each wall jotted down, door and window offsets noted. Pencil on paper is fine; a photo of the page works.

About the fine print

Questions Before You Pick a Line on the Menu

Does the flat fee ever change after I say yes?

No. The quote in your inbox is the price on your invoice. If you add a sheet midway, we send a new written figure for just that sheet first.

Do you apply a professional seal to the drawings?

No. We draw the documents; we don’t stamp them. If your town requires a seal, we hand the DWG set to your architect or engineer, ready to review and stamp.

When do I pay?

By invoice, after you approve the quote and receive your sheets. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Apple Pay are all accepted.

What if two of my numbers don’t agree?

We circle the spot on a markup and send it back before drawing a line. You re-measure one wall, not the whole house.

Can my architect keep editing the files?

Yes. Every set includes DWG alongside the PDFs. Nothing is locked and nothing expires.
