CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR CALIFORNIA POOL CONTRACTORS

You direct.
I draft.

  • Pool, spa & site construction documents
  • Drawn from your design and markups
  • Coordination with your engineer
  • Your logo, branding and specifications
SAMPLE SHEETPOOL & SPA DETAILS

Drafting, not design. You supply the layout, dimensions, selections and instructions. Engineering, architecture and surveying stay with the licensed professional.

Save time with fast-turnaround plans at a contractor price point. Clean, refined drawings that impress your clients, minimize backchecks, and spare you the overhead of an employee. Start a job →

  • Permits. Submittal and tracking for established clients.
  • Your graphic standards. I set up your symbols, line types, notes and sheet layout on the first job, then use them on every job. Consistent plans mean fewer questions from your crew in the field.
  • Backchecks. Plan-check corrections returned to the city in 24–48 hours, no charge. Design changes quoted separately.

How it works

Process overview

  1. Send the client address, plat map or survey, and design instructions.

  2. Confirm the sheet list. I check city or county requirements for missing sheets or data.

  3. I draft and send the set back for your review and comments.

  4. Final corrections. Sets ready to print, or for established clients, sent to your printer for pickup.

What I need

  • Detailed site measurements. The more the better.
  • Jobsite address and plat map or survey

First job only: your logo, company address and phone number.
