Space planning, kitchen and bath remodel design, and 3D renderings for how a room will actually look and function — coordinated with your permit-ready drawings in one Revit model, instead of an interior designer and a drafter working from two plans that quietly disagree.
A kitchen or bath remodel starts as an interior design problem — where the island goes, which wall comes out, where cabinetry and appliances land — but almost every one of those decisions has a permit consequence. Move a sink and you've moved a plumbing rough-in location; open up a wall and you may have triggered a structural review. When the interior layout is designed separately from the permit set — a designer's plan in one file, a drafter's plan in another — the two documents drift apart, and the mismatch usually gets discovered on-site, mid-construction, by whoever's holding a level. We draft both from the same Revit model, so the layout you're designing around and the plan the city stamps are the same drawing.
We design and draft — we don't swing a hammer, and we hand the coordinated drawing set to whichever contractor or general contractor is building it. What we bring to the interior side is the layout and space-planning work that sits between "here's what I want" and "here's a buildable floor plan": confirming clearances actually work, placing fixtures where they'll function, and producing 3D renders so you can see the space and settle on finishes before anything gets demoed. For remodels, we can start from a Matterport scan of the existing room instead of a tape measure, so the new layout is drawn against the real space, not an approximate one.
Room flow, furniture and fixture placement, clearances and circulation drafted for new interior spaces and remodels alike — residential or commercial, one room or a full reconfiguration.
Cabinetry layout, appliance and fixture placement, and plumbing and electrical rough-in locations planned before demo starts — the design decisions that make a kitchen or bath actually work, not the construction itself.
3D renders of your drafted interior plan, for choosing finishes and materials, presenting the design to whoever needs to sign off, or supporting a permit submittal that needs more than a flat floor plan. Need the same kind of renders formatted for a real estate listing instead? See our Real Estate Floor Plans & Marketing page.
Wall placement and plumbing or electrical rough-in locations decided during interior design have to match what's on the permit set, or the city's stamped drawing and the built space disagree. Drafting both from one Revit model keeps them aligned — see our Architectural Drafting & Design page for how the permit-ready side works.
We look at how the space is used today, what's not working, and what the new kitchen, bath or interior layout actually needs to accomplish before anything gets drawn.
For remodels, a Matterport scan documents the existing walls, plumbing and electrical, so the new layout is designed against what's really there instead of an old plan.
Space plan, cabinetry and fixture placement, and 3D renders you can review and adjust — settling on the layout and finishes before it moves into the permit set.
The approved interior layout gets built into the same Revit model as your permit-ready construction drawings, so what you designed on the render is what's on the plans the contractor builds from.
Both, and usually together. We do the space planning, kitchen and bath layout, fixture placement and 3D renders, and we draft the permit-ready construction drawings — in the same Revit model. What we don't do is the physical construction; once a design and drawing set is finalized, we hand it to whichever contractor or general contractor is building it.
Often, yes. A lot of layout and cabinetry planning can stay design-only if you're not moving plumbing or electrical, not touching a load-bearing wall, and not adding square footage. Once any of those come into play, the project needs a permit submittal, and we'll tell you which side of that line your project falls on before you commit to a design direction that won't actually be permittable.
Mostly for you — choosing finishes and materials, seeing how a layout feels before it's built, or getting a spouse, partner or business partner to sign off on a direction. They're not required for most residential permit submittals, but for larger commercial interior work, or a project where a jurisdiction wants visual context beyond a flat floor plan, we can format the same renders for that submittal too.
