Architectural Drafting Services in Indiana
Twelve core drafting and modeling services, each scoped for how Indiana architects, contractors and homeowners actually use them - from a single permit-ready floor plan to a full federated BIM model for an industrial campus.
Exit 01CAD Base
Architectural CAD Drafting Indiana
Architectural CAD drafting is the production of accurate, scaled 2D drawings - plans, elevations, sections and details - from a designer's sketch, an architect's redlines, or field measurements. It's the foundation every other drawing type in this list is built on. Our Indiana clients use it for everything from a single addition drawing to a full architectural CAD drawing set for a ground-up commercial building.
- AutoCAD-native 2D drawing production, dimensioned and layered to AIA/NCS standards
- Conversion of hand sketches, PDFs or architect markups into clean, editable CAD files
- Coordination-ready files for structural, MEP and civil consultants
Exit 02Residential
Residential Architectural Drafting Indiana
Residential drafting covers new custom homes, additions, garage conversions, ADUs, duplexes and small multi-family buildings. We draft to the Indiana Residential Code (based on the 2018 IRC), which governs one- and two-family dwellings statewide, and we build in the setback, egress and stair-geometry checks your local building department will look for first.
- Custom house plans, home additions and garage/ADU drafting
- Basement finish, remodel and duplex/multi-family drawing sets
- Field-measured redraws for older Indiana homes with no existing plans on file
Exit 03Commercial
Commercial Architectural Drafting Indiana
Commercial drafting serves offices, retail stores, restaurants, medical suites and tenant improvement (TI) build-outs, drafted to the Indiana Building Code (based on the 2021 IBC), which applies statewide to Class 1 commercial structures. We handle occupancy classification, exiting and accessibility layout alongside the architectural plan itself.
- Office, retail, restaurant and medical-office layout drafting
- Tenant improvement and interior build-out drawing sets
- Space planning that flags ADA/ICC A117.1 clearance issues before submittal
Exit 04Floor Plans
Floor Plan & Space Planning Drafting Indiana
Floor plan drafting is a dimensioned, to-scale layout of a building's rooms, walls, doors and windows - used for design decisions, marketing, permitting or furniture and fixture planning. We produce both design-development floor plans for early client review and construction-grade floor plans ready to enter a permit set, including interior space-planning drawings.
- Residential and commercial floor plan drafting from scratch or from redlines
- Furniture layout and interior space-planning drawings
- Enlarged plans for kitchens, bathrooms and millwork-heavy rooms
Exit 05Const. Docs
Construction Documentation Indiana
Construction documentation is the complete drawing set a contractor builds from - cover sheet, floor plans, elevations, sections, wall sections, door/window/finish schedules and details, coordinated into one issued-for-construction package. This is the deliverable most Indiana general contractors and architects mean when they ask for a "full set."
- Full construction document (CD) sets for residential and commercial projects
- Door, window and finish schedules coordinated across every sheet
- Wall sections, roof plans and reflected ceiling plans (RCPs)
Exit 06Permit
Permit Drawings & Code Compliance Drafting Indiana
Permit drawings are the specific subset of a drawing set a building department needs to issue a permit - typically a site plan, floor plans, elevations, and a code/zoning summary sheet. Because Indiana sets its residential and commercial codes at the state level, a permit set drafted correctly for one Indiana jurisdiction transfers cleanly to the next, with only local zoning and setback data changing.
- Permit-ready drawing sets for residential and commercial submittals
- Zoning and setback annotation matched to the local jurisdiction
- Code-compliance review flags before you submit, not after a rejection letter
Exit 07As-Built
As-Built & Existing Conditions Drawings Indiana
As-built drawings document a structure exactly as it was actually constructed, including field changes made during the build - used for renovations, refinancing, insurance, facility management, or simply because the original plans were lost. We also produce existing-conditions and measured drawings from a field walk-through when no plans exist at all.
- Field-measured as-built and existing-conditions drawing sets
- Redline-to-CAD conversion from marked-up field drawings
- Drawing updates and revisions to bring old plan sets current
Exit 08Industrial
Industrial & Specialized Facility Drafting Indiana
Industrial and specialized drafting covers warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, cold storage and the support buildings around large data-center campuses - a category that has grown fast in Indiana thanks to the LEAP Innovation District, and Amazon, Google and Microsoft data-center builds near South Bend and Fort Wayne. These projects need larger structural bays, heavier loading-dock detailing, and closer MEP coordination than a standard commercial set.
- Warehouse, distribution center and logistics-facility drafting
- Manufacturing and factory building layout drawings
- Support-building and site drafting around data-center and industrial campuses
Exit 09BIM / Revit
Architectural BIM & Revit Modeling Indiana
BIM (Building Information Modeling) replaces flat 2D drawings with a coordinated 3D model carrying real building data - wall assemblies, door hardware, finish specs - that generates plans, sections and schedules automatically and stays consistent when something changes. We model in Revit at the LOD your project needs, from early massing through construction-ready detail.
- Revit architectural modeling from LOD 200 through LOD 400
- CAD-to-BIM conversion for existing 2D drawing sets
- Coordinated construction documentation generated directly from the model
Exit 103D Render
3D Rendering & Architectural Visualization Indiana
3D rendering turns a floor plan or model into a photorealistic image or walkthrough - used for client presentations, marketing, investor decks and pre-construction sales. It's not a code deliverable, but for developers marketing LEAP-district-adjacent industrial parks or a builder selling homes off a plan, it's often the deciding factor in a sale.
- Exterior, interior and aerial architectural renderings
- 3D walkthroughs and animation for marketing and investor presentations
- Real estate and pre-construction rendering packages
Exit 11Conversion
PDF, Scan & Hand Sketch to CAD Conversion Indiana
CAD conversion takes a PDF, a scanned blueprint, or a hand sketch and turns it into an accurate, editable CAD or Revit file - common for older Indiana buildings whose original drawings only survive as paper or a low-resolution scan. We rebuild the drawing to scale rather than tracing it, so the result is a fully usable working file, not a picture.
- PDF-to-CAD and PDF-to-DWG conversion
- Scan-to-CAD and raster-to-vector digitization of old blueprints
- Hand sketch and redline-to-CAD conversion
Exit 12Renovation
Renovation, Remodeling & Addition Drafting Indiana
Renovation and remodeling drafting documents changes to an existing structure - additions, basement finishes, kitchen/bath remodels, and commercial tenant renovations - and has to reconcile new work against whatever code edition the original building was built under. We flag where the current Indiana code applies to the whole structure versus only the renovated portion.
- Home addition, remodel and basement-finish drawing sets
- Commercial renovation and tenant-improvement drafting
- Existing-vs-new code-applicability review built into the drawing set
