Drafting Rates & Guidelines
An estimated 50% deposit is required to begin drafting services, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the plans.
Revisions are included throughout the drafting phase until the homeowner provides final approval of the floor plans and elevations. Once the plans have been finalized, additional revisions will be billed at $85 per hour. Plan submittal to the City/County is the responsibility of the homeowner and/or builder. Any required City/County redline corrections are included.
All dimensions, specifications, elevations, roof layouts, engineering requirements, site conditions, and construction details shall be verified by the contractor, owner, subcontractors, suppliers, and engineers prior to construction. Ray Custom Drafting is not responsible for field verification, material quantities, or construction means and methods.
