Work is billed on actual hours, and every package is quoted as an hour range before anything is drawn — never a fixed price that hides padding. A dedicated drafter brings the rate down for firms with steady weekly volume.
How every account starts. Each package is quoted as an hour range before work begins, then billed on the hours actually drawn.
$40 / hour
An exclusive drafter on your account, trained on your standards — for firms with steady weekly volume or a rollout to feed.
$35 / hour — retainer
All figures in US dollars, exclusive of any applicable taxes. The rate that applies to your work is confirmed in writing before anything is drawn.
Hours depend on whose standard the package follows and how deep the scope goes — these are the ranges most packages land in.

| Package | Typical hours | Approx. total |
|---|---|---|
| Standardised / repeat millwork package | ~8 h | ~$280–320 |
| Typical commercial millwork package | ~12 h | ~$420–480 |
| Large standardised package — extensive scope, high detail | ~40 h | ~$1,400–1,600 |
| Partial remodel permit set, non-structural | ~12 h | ~$420–480 |
| Full remodel with structural changes or additions | Larger scope | Quoted per project |
Revisions are billed hourly on top — a typical round is one to two hours. Your package is quoted as its own hour range before work starts.
The same cycle for every client, so there is nothing to reconcile at month end.
Because two packages that look identical on a list rarely take the same hours — scope, standards and detail level move the number. A fixed price has to hide padding to cover that spread. An hour range quoted up front gives you the same clarity, and you only ever pay for hours drawn.
Not in-house — we are a drafting studio, not the architect or engineer of record. But when a package needs a seal we can arrange it through licensed partners and get it moving for you: in Florida, structural sets are sealed through our FL-licensed engineer, quoted per project.
Anything that changes the deliverable rather than correcting it. Fixing a dimension we got wrong is ours. Adding a sheet, changing a layout after sign-off, or re-drawing to a revised brief is a change — priced for time and schedule impact, and approved by you in writing before we start.
Setting up your title block, layers, templates and plot styles is billed as time, and it is usually a few hours rather than a week. It happens once. Every package after that starts from it.
You'll hear from us before we pass the top of the quoted range, not after — with what's left and why, so the decision stays yours while there is still a decision to make.
Send a drawing package and your standards, and you'll get back a scope, an hour estimate and a date.
