Professional CAD Design & Drafting Solutions
At Caddsight Design and Drafting Company, we bring your construction visions to life through precise, professional CAD services. Our experienced team specializes in delivering detailed technical drawings and design solutions that help architects, contractors, and developers move confidently from concept to completion.
What We Do
We understand that every construction project needs accuracy you can count on. That's why our drafting professionals work closely with you to create comprehensive blueprints and technical drawings.
Our Complete Range of CAD Drafting Services
Every project needs different drawings. We create them all.
ACHITECTURAL DRAFTING
We produce floor plans that show room layouts, door swings, and window locations. Elevations reveal your building’s exterior appearance. Sections cut through walls to show construction details.
STRUCTURAL DRAFTING
Foundation plans show footing sizes and rebar placement. Framing plans detail every beam, joist, and column. Connection details ensure proper load transfer.
Engineers provide calculations. We turn those numbers into buildable drawings.
MEP DRAFTING
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems keep buildings functional. Our MEP drafting shows exactly where every pipe, wire, and duct goes.
MATERIAL TAKEOFF & COST ESTIMATE
You need accurate budgets before breaking ground. Our material takeoff services count every stud, sheet of drywall, and linear foot of wire.
We extract quantities directly from CAD drawings. You get spreadsheets
3D Rendering & Visualization
Flat drawings confuse clients. 3D renderings make designs clear.
We create photorealistic images showing your finished project. Clients see material choices, lighting effects, and spatial relationships. Decision-making speeds up dramatically.
PDF to CAD Conversion
You have old paper drawings or PDF scans. You need editable CAD files.
Our conversion services digitize legacy documents. We trace scanned plans and create clean DWG files. You can now modify, update, and reuse old drawings.

Our Proven Drafting and Design Process
We don't just deliver drawings. We manage your entire project from concept to permit approval.
1
Step 1 - Initial Consultation & Project Assessment
Timeline: Depend on your project
You share your project requirements. We ask targeted questions:
- What’s the building’s intended use?
- What’s your target budget?
- When do you need permit approval?
- Are there site constraints?
- Do you have existing drawings?
No surprises. No hidden fees.
2
Step 2 - Concept Development & Preliminary Design
Timeline: Depend on your project
We create initial design options. You see 2-3 layout alternatives with basic dimensions and room arrangements.
This is your chance to explore ideas. Want the kitchen larger? We adjust it. Prefer a different roof style? We show alternatives.
Two revision rounds are included at this stage. Most clients finalize concepts within 5-7 days.
3
Step 3 - Detailed Design & Engineering
Timeline: Depend on your project
Now we add precision. Every dimension gets verified. We coordinate with structural engineers for beam sizing. MEP engineers route systems.
Code compliance checking happens here. We verify:
- Egress requirements (doors, windows, exits)
- Fire separation between units
- Accessibility standards (ADA/FHA)
- Energy code requirements (insulation, windows)
- Zoning setbacks and height limits
You receive 50-75% complete drawings for review. We incorporate your feedback before finalizing.
4
Step 4 - Construction Document Preparation
Timeline: Depend on your project
Complete permit sets get assembled. Every page includes:
- Title block with project information
- Code analysis summary
- Detailed construction notes
- Material specifications
- General conditions
We prepare three versions:
- Permit set – for building department submittal
All drawings get quality-checked by senior drafters. Dimensions get verified. Note conflicts get resolved.
5
Step 5 - Permit Support & Revisions
Timeline: Ongoing as needed
Building departments often request clarifications or revisions. We handle these at no extra charge (for reasonable code-related changes).
We respond within 24 hours to:
- Plan check correction requests
- Building official questions
- Contractor RFIs (Requests for Information)
- Field condition changes
Your project stays on schedule. Permits get approved.

Understanding Building Codes & Permits
Most people dread the permit process. We make it straightforward.
When Do You Need a Building Permit?
Always required for:
- New building construction
- Structural modifications (removing walls, cutting joists)
- Additions increasing building square footage
- Electrical panel upgrades
- New plumbing fixtures with drainage
- HVAC system replacements
- Commercial tenant improvements
Rarely required for:
- Interior painting
- Flooring replacement
- Cabinet installation
- Minor repairs
Call your building department if unsure. Permit requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction.

- Bathroom/kitchen remodels (fixture replacement)
- Re-roofing (depends on layers)
- Fencing (height and location rules)
Common Permit Challenges We Solve
Building departments reject incomplete submissions. Common problems:
❌ Missing calculations – Energy compliance not demonstrated
❌ Unclear dimensions – Conflicting measurements between drawings
❌ Code violations – Egress windows too small, hallways too narrow
❌ Incomplete details – Foundation connections not shown
❌ Wrong forms – Jurisdiction-specific submittal requirements missed
We prevent these issues. Our drawings arrive complete and code-compliant.
