About House plans & permits
Getting house plans drawn for a new home, an addition or a small building is usually the first concrete step toward construction. This Architecture subcategory brings together freelance designers and drafters who start from your sketch, your wish list or a written brief and produce 2D floor plans, elevations, sections and 3D views, all the way up to a complete permit set.
Depending on the service, you can receive a site plan, dimensioned floor plans for each level, elevations and sections, and the drawings required for a permit application, including the French PCMI documents for a house, supplied as print-ready PDF and often as DWG. 3D views or a photo insertion frequently round out the package. Designers work in AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit, SketchUp or software built specifically for residential design. To get started they will need a dimensioned sketch or a description of your needs, the plot boundaries and survey, the local zoning or planning rules, photos of the site and a sense of the style you like.
On hi-3d, browse the services offered by designers in this subcategory, compare portfolios, prices and turnaround times, and invite the person you feel confident about. The project conversation is where the design takes shape: a first layout proposal, revision rounds to rework room arrangement, windows and elevations, and finally delivery of the full drawing set.
Keep in mind that local rules vary: in many places, including France above a certain floor area, a licensed architect must sign the permit application, so check your situation before you start. For an addition or a modest home, clear house plans that respect zoning rules make the approval process much easier. Explore the profiles and find the designer who will draw your project.
