Floor Plans & Drafting · Fort Worth
Custom floor plans, drawn by people who know how they get built
Most floor plans come from an architect who has never swung a hammer — beautiful on paper, brutal once they meet a builder’s bid. We draft yours in-house, by a team that builds homes every week, so the plan you pay for is one that actually works when the walls go up.
Want the drawings only? Take them and build however you like.
Draftsman or architect
You’re probably not looking for an architect. You’re looking for the drawings
An architect is the right call for a complex commercial building. For a home remodel, an addition, or a custom house, you’re often paying architect prices for drawings a builder still has to reinterpret on site. Here’s the honest version of that choice.
Our drafting team does residential all day and sits next to a crew that builds it — so the plan is grounded in real costs and real methods, not a concept that falls apart the moment it meets a bid.
Hire an architect when
- You’re building something structurally complex or unusual.
- It’s a commercial building, not a house.
- The design itself is the point, and you want an architect’s name on it.
Hire a draftsman when
- You’re remodeling, adding on, or building a house.
- You need a permit set the city will accept and a builder can bid.
- You want the drawings to be grounded in what construction actually costs.
The stuck part
Need a floor plan — but not sure where to start?
You already have the vision: open up the back of the house, add the primary suite you never had, finally fix the layout that has fought you for fifteen years.
What you don’t have is a drawing the city will approve and a builder can actually price. An architect quotes you thousands, and you don’t hear from them between invoices. A contractor “kind of” sketches it on the back of a bid. And you’re the one stuck in the middle, paying to translate between them.
Before and after
Before and after working with 6th Ave
Before
- Guessing at measurements, and hoping.
- Juggling a designer, a draftsman, and a contractor who have never met.
- A layout you can picture but can’t hand to anybody.
- An architect’s quote that made the whole idea feel unserious.
After
Plans you own
Hire us for the drawings alone. Take them to your own contractor, or build it yourself. No strings, no upsell.
Permit-ready, not just pretty
We draw the full set the city needs and coordinate the structural engineering to get it stamped and submitted.
You see it before it’s built
3D renderings and modeling, so you’re walking the space on a screen before a single board gets cut.
What’s included
What’s in a set of plans
Every Fort Worth floor plan we draw includes the drawings, the visualizations, and the technical documentation a permit and a build actually need.
- A1
Floor plans and elevations
Your space from every angle, at accurate scale and structure — the drawings a builder reads to price it and a crew reads to build it.
- A2
3D renderings and room visualizations
A realistic preview of the finished space before construction starts, so the decisions get made on a screen instead of on site.
- A3
Kitchen, bath, and addition drafting
The rooms where layout does the most work. Drawn for flow first, then for finish.
- E1
Electrical and lighting layouts
Outlets, switches, and fixtures planned early — the cheapest time to move a light is before the wall closes.
- S1
Site and zoning coordination
Drawn to fit your Fort Worth property’s actual setbacks, lot coverage, and zoning — not to a generic lot.
- G1
Permit-ready construction plans
A full set that meets Fort Worth permitting standards and is ready for city submission, with the structural engineering coordinated and stamped.

Through to approval
The job isn’t finished when the drawing is
Plenty of places will sell you a set of drawings. What you actually need is a set that gets engineered, submitted and approved — with somebody other than you carrying it there.
A set, not a sketch
Full construction drawings and elevations, dimensioned so a builder builds from them instead of interpreting them on site and calling you with questions.
The engineering, quarterbacked
Structural gets coordinated with licensed engineers and stamped. We don’t stamp it in-house — we run the people who do, so you’re not the one chasing an engineer.
We make the submittal
We take the set to the city and carry it through approval, corrections included. Handing you a folder and wishing you luck is not the deliverable.
From first sit-down to sealed set
Drawn once, priced by the people who will build it
Meet Up
Meet Up
We sit down, look at what you’ve got, and talk through what you actually need — and what it will realistically take to draw it and build it.
Team Up
Team Up
Our drafting team puts it on paper — floor plan, elevations, the permit set — and we coordinate the structural engineering so it’s ready for the city.

The number
What a custom floor plan costs in Fort Worth
There’s no flat price, because no two plans are the same. Two things stay true: we’re a fraction of what an architect charges, and you get a real number before we ever start drawing.
How much house
A single-room layout, a full-home reconfiguration, and a ground-up custom home are three different jobs, and the fee follows what each will cost to build.
How much of the set you need
Elevations, 3D renderings, and a full permit set is one scope. An as-built of the house you already own is another.
What the structure is doing
Moving a load-bearing wall pulls in engineering and a stamp. Knowing that early is the difference between a number and a surprise.
Where we draft
The crew has a radius. The drawings don’t
We draft for homeowners across Fort Worth and Tarrant County — and because plans travel, we take drafting projects anywhere in Texas. If you want us to build it too, the crew’s radius is tighter: that’s the neighborhoods and close-in towns.

Good questions
Before the first line gets drawn
Only want the drawings?
Say so on the first call. We’ll price the set on its own and you’ll never hear a pitch for the build.
The plans
What’s the difference between a draftsman and an architect — and do I need an architect in Fort Worth?
For a home remodel, addition, or custom house, usually not. A draftsman produces the same permit-ready construction drawings for a fraction of an architect’s fee, and our drafting team works alongside the crew that builds them — so the plan is grounded in real costs. Architects earn their fee on complex or commercial projects; most Fort Worth home projects don’t need one.
How much do floor plans cost in Fort Worth?
There’s no flat rate and no per-square-foot price. The drawing fee scales with what the project will cost to build: a kitchen with high-end design has more detail to capture than a standard one, and the plans are priced to match. It’s still a fraction of what an architect charges, and you get the number before we start drawing.
Can I hire you for the plans only and build them myself?
Yes. Our drafting is sold standalone. Take the plans to your own contractor or build them yourself — no obligation to use our construction team.
Are your floor plans permit-ready for the City of Fort Worth?
Yes. We draw the full construction set and coordinate the structural engineering to get it stamped and submitted to the city.
Can you draw plans for a house I already own?
Yes — we measure your existing home and produce as-built drawings, the starting point for any remodel or addition.
Working with 6th Ave
What’s included in a set of plans?
Detailed floor plans and elevations, 3D renderings, electrical and lighting layouts, site and zoning coordination, and a permit-ready construction set.
How long does it take to get floor plans drawn?
Anywhere from about 8 weeks to 6 months. A smaller project is two or three design meetings; a larger one is six or more. We give you a real timeline at the start.
Do you do 3D renderings?
Yes — 3D renderings and room visualizations so you can see the space before construction begins.
Do you draft for builders and investors, not just homeowners?
Yes. We draw permit-ready plans for other builders and investors too.
Do you handle the structural engineering?
We coordinate it with licensed engineers and manage city submittal. We don’t stamp structural in-house — we partner it out and quarterback the process.
Two ways this ends
The plans are yours either way
Drafting is the one thing we sell on its own. So when the set is finished, you’ve got two ways to go — and both of them work for us.
Option one
Take them and go
The drawings, the files, the whole set — yours, nothing withheld. Put it out to bid, hand it to the builder you already trust, or pull the permit yourself.
Plenty of people do exactly this, including other builders and investors we draft for. It’s not the consolation prize — it’s the product.
- The full drawing set — floor plans and elevations
- The permit set, ready for city submission
- 3D renderings and room visualizations
- The electrical and lighting layouts
Option two
Or keep the same team going
The drafting is already done in the same building as the people who would build it. If you want to keep going, nothing has to be re-explained.
-
Construction
The crew builds from the set we drew — no reinterpreting somebody else’s drawings on site.
-
Interior Design
The set is drawn. Now the tile, the cabinets, and the lighting get picked against a layout that has already been priced.
-
