About

I am a detail-oriented Civil & Structural CAD specialist with extensive experience in creating permit-ready foundation plans, structural designs, and full project documentation. My focus is to deliver precise, code-compliant drawings that secure permit approval on the first submission and help clients move their projects forward with confidence.

Over the years, I’ve worked on residential, commercial, and industrial projects, providing accurate 2D/3D CAD drawings, structural layouts, reinforcement detailing, and comprehensive cost breakdowns.

What I can do for you:

✅ Foundation plan design (basements, slabs, retaining walls)
✅ Structural drawings & detailing (concrete, steel, wood)
✅ Bill of Quantities (BOQ) & material take-offs
✅ Cost & electrical estimation
✅ Barn conversion plans
✅ Loft conversion & ADU/garage conversion drawings
✅ House renovation & remodeling plans
✅ Home extensions & additions
✅ 2D/3D floor plans and structural sketches
✅ Fast turnaround with professional accuracy

I combine technical precision with creative problem-solving, ensuring every drawing is clear, buildable, and fully aligned with permit requirements. My clients know me for reliability, transparent communication, and on-time delivery, qualities that make the design and approval process smooth from start to finish.
