Paul Candela
A great find! The Holmes Drafting Service, LLC team continues to be great to work with. We have a relatively small residential project, but they have been very responsive and supportive, explaining their process and keep their schedule every time. They will continue to be my 'go to' in the Pacso County area!
Manny Cruz
A very fast and efficient team. They were all very friendly and extremely easy to work with. I plan to use them again in the future. Update: FANTASTIC service. the city gave some hard push back, and they helped me navigate it with ease. I HIGHLY recommend them if you need any type of drafting done. Thank you so very much for your help!!
Gretchen Jasinski
Kyle and the team were amazing! We were completely blindsided when Milton hit and we flooded. We lost everything below 3 feet. Discovered some features from previous owners that needed to be corrected. They were very clear on the process and timelines. Also will support plans if there is any issue with permitting. I will definitely recommend in Pinellas!
Matthew Heller

Jesse Navarro
Great people to work with. Always get right back to you. Communication is very important to me for customer service

IDEAS TURNED INTO REALITY

COMMON QUESTIONS

Nope! In fact, we recommend starting with your plans first. That way, you’ll know exactly how much land you’ll need and avoid buying a parcel that doesn’t fit your vision.

No, we handle that for you. All of our plans are code-ready and can be sealed by licensed engineers when needed for permitting.

Absolutely. We know ideas evolve, so revisions are part of the process. Just let your project manager know what you’d like adjusted and we’ll make it happen.

Both! Whether you’re a homeowner designing your dream build or a contractor needing reliable, permit-ready plans we’ve got you covered.

The short answer: Each municipality is different. Check out our Municipality Specific Resources page for specifics.

Although each municipality is different, generally you will be required to provide the following for additions or new homes:

Three copies of sealed plans
A site plan or survey
Truss engineering
HVAC Calculations/Engergy Calc./Manual J&D
Product approval form
This is by no means a comprehensive list and will definitely change depending on the municipality you are building in; but it’s a good starting place.

Definitely. Whether it’s a hand-drawn sketch, Pinterest board, or another designer’s rough layout, our team can bring it to code and turn your concept into a full set of professional blueprints.

No problem. Most clients start with a quick consultation where we walk through your goals, timeline, and budget. From there, we’ll recommend the best path forward — whether that’s modifying a pre-designed plan or creating something totally custom.

Appointments can be set as soon as next day. So we can get your project started ASAP

Yes. Our team builds to Florida code and county-specific standards.
