You can draw a complete set of plans for a one-story house, or an additional to an existing house even if you've never had drafting or design experience.

Drafting House Plans: A Whole House Drafting System For Planning and Design is a complete guide to drawing home plans that walks you through the process of developing a complete set of plans:
  • visualizing spatial relationships
  • using standard architectural scales and symbols
  • sketching preliminary drawings
  • developing a detailed floor plan and exterior elevations
  • preparing a final plot plan
* Covers pertinent code requirements.

Drafting House Plans introduces the absolute beginner to the process of:

  • sketching first concepts
  • using architectural symbols
  • creating and drawing preliminary plans
  • preparing each sheet of a complete set of house plan drawings
Drafting House Plans has easy to follow introductory illustrations, example plan sheets and check lists of building code requirements to guide you each step of the way.
