Drafting and House Plan Pricing
Stock house plans start at $799. Custom drafting is scoped to your project and quoted free after a consultation, so you always know the cost before you commit. Apex Drafting Services works with homeowners, builders, and contractors nationwide, fully remote, with a focus in Texas, Florida, New York, and California.
Stock House Plans, Starting at $799
Our stock house plans give you a complete, permit-ready-oriented plan set built to construct from, at a fraction of the cost and timeline of a fully custom design. Starting at $799, a stock plan purchase generally includes:
- A complete plan set covering the layout, elevations, and structural details needed to build from
- Light customization options, such as minor dimension or finish adjustments, so the plan fits your lot and preferences
- A drafting team you can reach directly with questions as your builder or contractor reviews the set
If you need changes beyond light customization, such as a room addition, layout reconfiguration, or structural revision, that work is scoped and quoted as a custom project. We'll tell you plainly which category your changes fall into before you pay for anything.
How Custom Pricing Works
There is no flat rate for custom drafting, because no two projects are alike. Instead, custom pricing for custom house plans, ADU plans, and home addition and remodel drafting is built around a few factors:
Project size
Total square footage and number of levels shape the scope of drafting work required.
Complexity
Custom rooflines, structural engineering coordination, multiple design iterations, and specialty design needs all factor into scope.
Jurisdiction requirements
Permit and code requirements vary by city and county, which affects how a plan set needs to be prepared and delivered.
We review your project, goals, and site details in a free consultation, then provide a firm quote before any drafting begins. Timelines vary by project scope and jurisdiction and are confirmed as part of that same quote.
What's Typically Included in a Project
Whether you're starting with a stock plan or a fully custom design, a typical Apex Drafting Services project includes:
- Design consultation, where we go over your goals, site conditions, and budget before any drafting starts
- Drafted plans, prepared to reflect your project's specific requirements
- A set number of revisions, confirmed upfront as part of your quote so there are no surprises later
- Permit-ready delivery, so your permit-ready drawings are prepared for submission to your local jurisdiction
Additional services like 3D renderings and walkthroughs, energy-efficient home design, and multigenerational and universal design can be added to any project and are priced into your quote based on scope.
Owning Your Plans vs. Paying Per Lead
Plenty of platforms will sell you a lead or connect you with a rotating pool of drafters. That model works against you in two ways: you're often paying a premium built around the platform's own margin, and you rarely work with the same drafter twice, which means re-explaining your project every time something changes.
Working directly with a drafting partner is different. When you hire Apex Drafting Services, you own your plans outright, you work with the same team from consultation through permit-ready delivery, and your quote reflects the actual cost of your project, not a lead fee layered on top. We won't claim specific numbers on what other platforms charge, but the structural difference is straightforward: direct drafting means fewer middlemen between you and your finished plan set.

What's included in the stock plan price?
Stock house plans start at $799 and include a complete plan set you can build from, plus options for light customization. Any structural or layout changes beyond light customization are scoped and quoted separately as a custom project.
Do you offer payment plans?
Reach out to discuss options for your specific project. We'll go over payment structure as part of your free consultation and quote.

Permit-ready delivery is part of how we scope and quote every project, custom or stock. We'll confirm exactly what your jurisdiction requires as part of your quote, since permit requirements vary by city and county.
