Permit Sets
Architectural drawing packages for new homes, ADUs, additions, remodels, and conversions, coordinated for the target jurisdiction.
Drafting for Builders and Contractors
Residential drafting support for builders, general contractors, remodelers, and design-build teams that need dependable production without adding a full-time drafting seat.
Keep the Permit and Production Queue Moving
Builders rarely need another vendor to manage. They need clean inputs, predictable review stages, drawings that respect field reality, and a direct answer when a detail is unclear. Apex can support one project or a recurring pipeline, with responsibilities and file standards defined before production starts.
The engagement can begin with a single test project. Once the workflow is proven, standard details, title blocks, naming conventions, and approval gates can be reused to reduce repeated setup work.
Ways We Support Construction Teams
Plan Modifications
Stock-plan changes, client selections, option packages, and redline updates converted into controlled drawing revisions.
As-Built Bases
Existing-condition plans created from an agreed field-capture package so remodel design starts from measured reality.
Overflow Drafting
Defined production packages for teams whose internal designers need help clearing a temporary or recurring backlog.
Plan-Check Responses
Comment matrices, revision clouds, coordinated sheet updates, and resubmittal files for in-scope reviewer corrections.
3D Presentation
Renderings and walkthroughs paired with plans when clients, lenders, or presale buyers need to see the project before construction.
A Production Workflow Builders Can Repeat
- Standards setup. We document your title block, file formats, naming rules, standard details, communication channel, and approval owner.
- Complete intake. Every project begins with a short scope record so missing surveys, selections, or consultant decisions surface before drafting.
- Milestone review. Layout and scope are approved before the set is detailed, reducing late-stage redraws.
- Coordination check. Plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and consultant inputs are checked against each other.
- Controlled issue. Files carry a clear date and issue purpose so the field knows which set is current.

What Gets Defined in the Quote
| Decision | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Included sheet list | Prevents a floor-plan scope from being mistaken for a full permit package |
| Revision allowance | Separates normal review from owner-driven redesign |
| Consultant responsibility | Clarifies engineering, energy, survey, civil, and MEP ownership |
| Turnaround and feedback window | Keeps both drafting and builder approvals on schedule |
| Source and final file formats | Protects handoff quality and downstream editability |
No Fake Capacity Promise
Volume work is accepted only after current workload, scope, and review expectations are checked. Apex will confirm a real schedule for your pipeline rather than advertising a same-day or unlimited-capacity promise that collapses once projects overlap.
Builder Drafting FAQ
Can Apex work from builder redlines or sketches?
Yes. A defined intake can include marked PDFs, sketches, standard details, existing CAD files, and written scope notes. Source quality is reviewed before the schedule is confirmed.
Do you offer recurring drafting capacity?
Recurring support can be scoped for builders with a predictable project pipeline. Volume, response expectations, file standards, and ownership are documented before work begins.
Can you match our title blocks and drawing standards?
Yes, when you provide the approved templates, layer standards, naming conventions, and sample deliverables needed to build a repeatable production standard.
Do you answer plan-check comments?
Apex can address comments that fall within the drafting scope and coordinate revisions from engineers or other licensed consultants. Responsibility for each comment is mapped before resubmittal.
Can you support projects nationwide?
Yes. Drafting is remote and nationwide, with current focus markets in Texas, Florida, New York, California, Arizona, and Utah. Local licensed work is coordinated where required.
