FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We try to make our pricing as transparent as possible. There's no added fees or "gotcha" marketing here. When we schedule our on site appointment, your Project Coordinator will be able to give you your flat rate and everything that is included in that amount. You will pay half down for our team of drafters to get started on your project and you are fee to make as many changes as you desire throughout the process.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every project we encounter is unique, but the process remains the same regardless of the complexity. We will schedule a time for our Project Coordinators to meet you on site and go over your project in detail. They will be your primary contact in every interaction with our company. Depending on the type of project you have, there will usually be 2-3 review periods where our staff shows you the preliminary drawing and gets your input before moving on to the next step. Once your satisfied with the plans we send them to our engineer for final review and approval. Your plans will be digitally delivered to you.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our team’s background combines formal drafting education, engineering coordination experience, and years of field-based construction knowledge. We’ve worked closely with licensed Florida engineers and contractors across hundreds of residential and commercial projects, which has built a deep understanding of the Florida Building Code, zoning regulations, and permitting processes in counties throughout the state. In addition to traditional drafting and CAD training, our staff participates in continuing education focused on code updates, energy compliance, and digital design tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, and advanced plan management systems. That mix of education and practical experience allows Holmes Drafting Services to bridge the gap between design, engineering, and construction — ensuring every set of plans is accurate, efficient, and ready for approval.
