CAD Drafters has provided home design services to homeowners, residential builders and architects throughout the US, UK, Canada and Europe. We specialise in single-family dwellings and luxury villa design, and have also provided design services for duplexes and remodels.

In every project we undertake, our drafting team invests a tremendous amount of attention into understanding and communicating the design based on space-planning, natural light, air flow/ventilation, load bearing and wrapping it all up into an aesthetically pleasing package that complies with building code for simple execution and longevity.

Transform Your Living Spaces with Professional Home Design Services
CAD Drafters offers fully customised code-compliant home design services for every lifestyle and want. Whether you’re building your dream home from scratch or designing a new layout and organisation of an existing structure, or an even bigger task of just redesigning an interior layout, our home design team develops the plans using advanced CAD software. Our residential services include layout designs, room planning, elevation drawings, and sustainable design features. Our entire house design strategy is to use every square foot of your home. Functionality, style, and durability should be the primary considerations when designing your home.
Bespoke Home Design
If you want to build a distinctive home from the ground up, our bespoke home design service is right for you. We partner with clients to identify needs, preferences, and budget, and develop a comprehensive set of floor plans and drawings that work towards the homeowner’s vision, while ensuring compliance with local building codes and safety requirements.
Renovation and remodelling plans
Whether you are remodelling your kitchen, adding a second story, or changing the layout of your home, we can help you with design renovation. Our design renovation experts measure your existing conditions and provide detailed existing and proposed plans for your contractors that accurately illustrate how your home will transition to your new proposed conditions.
Interior planning
It’s essential to achieve the maximum potential from your interiors for comfort and functionality. Our planning team will create efficient layouts for each room so you can use the available square footage to its full potential. Our planning accounts for everything from open concept living spaces to where to add a closet, as well as optimising the home’s flow.
Floor Plan Drawings
We provide precise floor plan drawings as the starting point for your residential project. A floor plan drawing consists of room sizes, the location of walls, and how occupants and future occupants will circulate in these spaces. We produce these plans using AutoCAD, the industry-standard software used within the construction industry, to ensure there is no loss of precision, and they can be exported to all other construction teams.
Exterior Elevation Drawing
Elevate your home’s curb appeal with our quality elevation drawings. We produce high-quality front, rear, and side elevation drawings that show off architectural elements, materials, and style. Hence, you and your builders have a visual representation of your home’s exterior.
3D Home Modelling
With our three-dimensional modelling services, you can ‘see’ your home before it is built. We create realistic 3-D models of your home using SketchUp and Revit so you can visualise design elements, such as layout, lighting, textures, and colours, to help make design decisions early in the project.
Landscape Design
An exterior design is just as important as the interior. We provide home design services, including landscape planning, for decks, patios, gardens, and driveways. We ensure that your home blends in with its surroundings efficiently and adequately.
Green and Sustainable Home Design
Would you like to reduce your carbon footprint? We can offer you eco-friendly home design solutions for your home. Our approaches can include passive solar planning, energy-efficient insulation, sustainable materials, and smart home systems, resulting in reduced dwelling costs and improved environmental quality.
Multi-Family Residential Design
For developers and homeowners interested in duplexes or multi-unit properties, we provide layout and architectural plans that balance shared and private spaces while complying with zoning requirements and structural integrity standards.
Basement and Attic Conversion Plans
Unlock the full potential of your home with our design services for basement and attic conversions. We assess load-bearing constraints and provide drawings for plumbing, insulation, and access upgrades to turn unused spaces into functional rooms or rental units.
Garage and Accessory Unit Design
We design attached and detached garages, ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), and guest houses tailored to your lot and usage needs. Whether for storage, a workshop, or extended family living, we ensure these additions align with the overall home architecture.
Permit and Construction-Ready Drawings
Navigating permits can be stressful—our team simplifies the process by preparing complete sets of construction-ready drawings, including code-compliant layouts, elevations, and technical details. These plans are formatted for easy approval by local authorities and construction teams.

Designing Homes with Precision and Purpose
With our thorough home design process, you can be assured the details, creativity and technical precision will be expertly handled through all stages from concept to drawing contracts. Whether you’re designing a brand new building or renovation, this process ensures effective communication, compliance with local codes and design that fits within your lifestyle and budget.
Preliminary Meeting and Concept Platform
The process starts with an exploratory meeting to discuss your overall vision, functional needs, design aesthetics, and site constraints. At this point, you collect site measurements, zoning information and site details intrinsically involved with human lifestyle. And then our design team turns the information from the meeting into initial drawings or concept plans reflecting the layout, spatial relationships, and architectural style of your residence.
Design Development and Technical Drawings
After the initial concept is developed, it is then time to dive into drawings by using advanced CAD drafting tools. This includes a floor plan, elevation drawings, dimension and section drawings, and physical and structural elements that are part of the drawing package. We can add the HVAC drawings, electrical drawings and plumbing drawings where we see fit, and include compliance with local building codes. We will effectively work together and ensure the input of the engineers, builders, or interior designers that you may be importing into the project. The completed drawing package will be designed to facilitate the permitting process and minimise field changes, thus saving time and money.

Yes! We offer 3D modelling and renderings so you can see what your design will look like before construction begins.
