RnDesign’s Architectural & Engineering Service Process
Consultation and Coordination
You will meet with a dedicated RnDesign team member to discuss your vision. The goal is to sync the designer’s understanding with your preferences and ideas. We go through the functional needs of the project, including materials and any physical constraints. Organization stands at the core of the process, and by the end we should have a clear initial timeline and budget.
Drafting Blueprints & Design Documents
Whether a small residential project or a massive commercial one, the success still lies in the details. The second phase involves creating detailed architectural plans and design models. The RnDesign architects and designers work together to seamlessly create structural plans that match your vision. We also begin the process for approval and permits from local governmental agencies.
Blueprint Finalization & Review
Scrutinize every detail and weigh every design choice. We go through blueprints and renderings with clients to review the project. We take the time to harmonize the plans with the client’s vision, making changes and revisions in real time until you reach that peak of 100% satisfaction. We conduct a final review to ensure the structural and design elements of the plan match up perfectly.
Design Approval
We handle all the paperwork of submitting plans to the respective agencies. Our meticulous process up to this point helps avoid any delays and expedites the review process. We closely monitor updates to make any adjustments rapidly to get the plans through to final approval.

Architectural and Engineering FAQs
Our services start at $5–15 per square foot for drafting plans. However, this can fluctuate depending on the complexity of your project. For larger builds, architectural and engineering services tend to be 8–12% of the finished structure’s value. That is why we always start with a consultation to understand the size and scope of your project. Then, we provide a quote that reflects the specifics of the project.
The duration of a project will depend on the scope of the final product, but on average it takes 4–12 weeks. The process involves several steps, with open lines of communication to ensure the final drafts match your vision. Total time can take from a couple of weeks to over 1 month. For example, a basic 1-floor house plan will be faster than a multistoried commercial building. We give each client a set time frame based on the project scope, and we always stick by the deadline we give.
Yes, any new construction or significant remodel will require permits. The architectural and engineering plans we draft play a crucial role in obtaining those permits. When clients use our services, we ensure that all drafts are compliant with local regulations, ensuring a smooth permit acquisition process. We gladly handle this entire side of the process for clients.
When we draft plans, we take into account the zoning regulations where the structure will be built. We ensure our clients meet no issues or setbacks during the zoning approval process. Some key considerations we take into account include:
- Setbacks and height restrictions for structures
- Lot coverage
- Use approvals
If your property is within a Homeowners Association community, you will need preapproval of the designs. This especially holds true for projects that affect a structure’s exterior. We work closely with clients to understand their HOA’s restrictions and draft plans that will receive full approval.
At RnD Builders, we can readily provide construction services for any of our designs. We are a full-service design and build firm, prepared to expertly handle every element, from design to permit acquisition and final construction.
