Architectural drafting services
HearthPlans produces architectural drawings in CAD: floor plans, exterior elevations, building sections, details, and door, window and finish schedules, drawn to your CAD standards and title block if you have them. Sketches, PDFs and old paper plans can be redrawn as clean layered DWG. Each job is a fixed quote, and a typical residential set takes 3 to 5 business days.

Architectural drafting: common questions
How much does architectural drafting cost?
Each job is quoted as a fixed price for its scope, so you know the total before any work starts. The price depends on the number of sheets and how much has to be drawn from scratch. Send what you have for a quote, usually within a couple of hours.
Can you convert a PDF or a hand sketch to CAD?
Yes. Sketches, PDF sets and scanned paper plans are redrawn as layered DWG and DXF, not traced as images.
Do you draw to our standards and title block?
Yes. Send your CAD standards, layer list and title block, and the set comes back matching them.
Which software do you use?
AutoCAD, Revit and Chief Architect, with sheets marked up and checked in Bluebeam Revu. Deliverables are DWG, DXF and plotted PDF.
