5 Star Review
We recently used Residential Draftsman Service and I highly recommend Dan to anyone considering these services. Some architects/engineers charge nearly $150 per hour so his rate is not only a great value but his help is outstanding. He is always quick to reply and obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. Dan even came out to the property to view the lay of the land which helped me to determine the placement of the house on the land. We also appreciated his communication and advice with questions and decisions that were new to us. We now have our final drawings and hope to start building this winter.

Thank you James for this nice review. We do try very hard to please our clients. We only charge $60 an hour for our time and you are right, most architects/draftsman do charge anywhere from $100 to $150 an hour. We are not a large drafting service in Louisville, KY but we are able to work closely with our clients in order to meet their needs. On our website it does state our clients can call us from 9 AM to 9 PM on any day. If you need any further changes to be made on your blueprints or if you have any questions, feel free to call us anytime.

I started out as a real estate investor in 1978.

I bought apartment buildings and houses and upgraded them to high quality standards.  In 1992 I drew up the blueprints in order to build my first apartment complex that I owned and managed for 16 years. The above pictures show the 23 apartment units that I built on Southern Pkwy. in Louisville, KY.  I drew up all the blueprints by hand, unlike today where I have a ​state of the art 3D-CAD program. 

What separates us from the other residential drafting services is that the owner actually has 36 years of hands-on experience.  With first hand experience of actually building and remodeling houses and job site management. We know all the intricate details of what is involved and needed in the construction of a house.  Most draftsmen do not have this knowledge.
