  • Floor plans, elevations, sections and details
  • Window, door, header and column schedules
  • Coordination with engineers and consultants
  • Permit-ready construction documents

  • Stall layouts, aisles and wash areas
  • Tack, feed and equipment storage
  • Structural coordination for clear spans
  • Site placement, drives and paddock access

Not every job needs a full design package. Survey work, backgrounds, and production drafting are available as standalone services for owners, builders and firms.

As-built & photo surveys

Existing conditions documented accurately, so design starts from reality rather than assumption.

CAD production

Overflow drafting for architectural firms that need reliable capacity on a deadline.

Construction documents

Complete coordinated sets prepared for permitting and for building in the field.
