Pegler’s Design & Drafting is a small, family-owned business located in Northern California’s gold country. With over 30 years of combined experience, we offer our customers proven solutions to meet their most pressing design challenges. Our expertise is in designing residential spaces that match your lifestyle as well as your budget. When your project is complete you will have a set of construction plans ready to submit for County permit approval.
Our team is here to guide you through the process to take your project from concept to completed design. Here is the basic process.
Our team meets with you to learn more about your vision and discuss the details of your project.
We transform your concepts into a preliminary design to solve critical issues and create a home you will love.
We coordinate with partners for your site plan, engineering, trusses, Title 24, and sprinkler system as needed.
Once we get feedback from your team, we finalize the plans allowing you to obtain a permit and move to construction.
The only information required to start is a solid idea of what you want to create. This includes large details like room sizes, general layout, and overall square footage. Smaller details can be finalized during our initial drawing review prior to submitting to partner services.
The amount of time required to draw your house plans depends on the size, style and complexity of your home design. As a general rule, most houses take between 100-200 hours for us to draft into plans. This does not account for the time necessary for other services like engineering to do their work or the workload of our staff. For a more accurate estimate, call us at 530-642-9851.
Due to the varying complexity of design projects, we create custom estimates for each project. Our projects are charged on a price per square foot basis. For an estimate on your project, call us at 530-642-9851.
Our price includes a custom set of plans ready to submit for a permit and expert guidance to help you navigate the process of coordinating with other services including survey & site plans, Title 24 energy calculations, engineering, truss manufacturing, and sprinkler systems (as needed). Drawings required for permit vary greatly depending on the project. For a new house a typical drawing set includes the following sheets: Cover Sheet, Floor Plan, Foundation Plan, Framing Plan, Section Details, Elevations, Roof Plan, Typical Details
We understand that circumstances change over the course of a project and we’re here to work with you to resolve those issues. Each project includes two rounds of minor revisions in our fee. This means we have wiggle room in our process to switch things around.
If the changes are very drastic requiring us to redraw your home, we will work with you to develop a solution for and additional fee to accommodate your vision. We always advise our clients to commit to a rough design idea before beginning the formal design process in order to minimize costly changes mid-project.
By law the only parties that can submit a drawing set for permit review are the owner or the contractor building the project.
