Permit-ready drawings

A permit rejection can cost weeks. By Design produces complete construction drawing sets built to what Kentucky permit offices actually ask for, so your project gets reviewed and approved instead of returned.

What's included

  • Cover sheet with code and project data
  • Foundation, floor and roof framing plans
  • Dimensioned floor plans and exterior elevations
  • Wall sections and construction details
  • Electrical plan and energy code notes
  • Plot plan showing setbacks and easements
  • Revisions to answer plan-review comments

We know what gets flagged

Missing braced wall notes, no energy compliance path, no egress dimensions — the same handful of items send most sets back. Ours include them from the start.

Support through review

If a reviewer asks for something, we answer it. You aren't left translating comments on your own.

Reviews

What clients say about this work.

“Chuck drew the plans for our new home and caught two problems with our lot that nobody else mentioned. He answered the phone every single time we called. The builder said it was the cleanest set of drawings he'd been handed in years.”

Daniel M.

Morgantown, KY · Custom Home Design

“We bought a house plan online and it needed a lot of changes to work on our lot. By Design redrew it, fixed the foundation for our slope, and the permit went through with no comments. Fair price and honest about everything.”

Rebecca T.

Bowling Green, KY · Stock & Modified House Plans

“I'm a contractor and I send Chuck all my drafting. Fast turnaround, drawings are always right, and if I call with a framing question he just answers it. Forty years of experience shows.”
