RESIDENTIAL DRAFTING & PERMITS

We handle the drawings, engineering coordination, Title 24, and permitting so you can focus on construction.

Residential Plans Built for Permits

At Michael’s Drafting, we produce clean, permit-ready architectural plan sets focused on code compliance and efficient plan check approval.
 

We specialize in small-to-medium residential projects throughout Southern California, including ADUs, remodels, additions, and small new builds. Our drawings are intentionally scoped to support permitting and construction, without over-detailing items typically handled in the field.

Common clients: General contractors, owner-builders, and homeowners working with a contractor.
