Choose the drawing package that fits your next step.

Residential Design Concept

For eligible simple, single-story residential projects up to approximately 800 square feet: one scheme with a conceptual site plan, floor plan, four exterior elevations, up to four interior elevations, two simple views, a digital finish board, and two consolidated revision rounds. Design-only drawings are not a permit or construction set.

From $5,000 USD

First concept target: five business days from confirmed start, once the brief and reliable site information are ready. Final delivery follows feedback and the agreed revisions. We confirm eligibility, fee, and dates before you commit.

Design + Permit Documents

Develop the agreed residential drawing package for agency review, with the technical details and coordination listed in your scope. Required consultant documents remain separate dependencies.

Starting at $12,500 USD

Scope, inputs and responsibilities
Your proposal defines
  • Drawing sheets and number of 3D views
  • Design and city-review revision rounds
  • Who coordinates consultants and submits
  • Phase fees, payment dates, and delivery schedule

What the starting fee covers

Residential drafting and the listed permit documents for eligible conventional wood-frame work, using dependable site and existing-building information. Your final drawing list and fee depend on the project.

The client coordinates consultants and submits the package unless those tasks are included separately in the proposal.

Budget separately for

Structural engineering, energy compliance, surveys or measurements, agency fees, and construction. You contract with required licensed consultants directly.

Our documents are one part of the permit submission. The city or county reviews the completed package.

Do I need a review first?

You can inquire directly. A Design Feasibility Review is not a required first purchase.

What if I do not have measurements?

Tell us what is available. We identify the missing information and agree who will obtain it. Building measurements record the existing structure; a licensed survey establishes property or site information. Site visits and fieldwork are separately scoped and priced.

Are permit submission and corrections included?

Your proposal names who submits, who follows up, and how many rounds of city-review revisions to Studio Bluework’s documents are included. Consultant revisions and changes to the agreed design are priced separately when needed.

Can you work with existing plans?

Share the plans and comments for review. We assess source files, permission to use them, and the original designer’s cooperation before quoting a takeover. Standalone corrections to another designer’s documents are not a listed service.

When do I pay?

After the agreement is signed, each phase is funded before its work begins. Your proposal lists the amounts and schedule. Additional work and outside costs require your approval and funding in advance.

Explore the project

Bring what you have.

You do not need a complete set of records to inquire. We identify the information and professional support your project needs before detailed drafting.

A useful first message includes

  • The property address and the work you have in mind
  • Your priorities, approximate size, and desired timing
  • Any existing drawings, photos, measurements, or city comments

We confirm whether the project fits our residential drafting scope before offering a proposal.
