You have never built like this before.
Plansmith generates complete SD, DD and CD document sets in days — coordinated and code-checked — then hands them to the architect or engineer who QAs and stamps every sheet.
Schematic to construction docs in days — and every sheet arrives ready for the stamp.
Plansmith drafts the SD, DD and CD set, cites the code section it checked, and stops at the line a license has to cross. Your architects and engineers QA, seal and submit.
Every set has to answer
the same hard questions.
Plansmith answers them before the set leaves the engine — and shows its work, the governing section cited beside each check, so the review is a read-through, not a redraw.
The drawings carry real assemblies —
down to the keynote.
Inside the Detail Engine
Residential building envelope · wall, roof & foundation · drawn to 1½″ = 1′-0″.
Real sets, straight
from the engine.
These six sheets come from a single run — an L-shaped multifamily infill in Portland. Cover to plumbing, one coordinated set, drawn to the standard a studio would issue.






Built to be QA'd by the people
who sign the drawings.
Plansmith delivered our entire CD set in days.
My team spent that week checking the drawings — not producing them. The set held up.
Inside the engine.
How a brief becomes a set your team can defend — and how each number gets earned rather than assumed.

One coordinated model the whole team reads from.
Egress verified against IBC 1006 & 1029.
Travel distance, exit width and dead-ends checked and cited — not eyeballed.
MethodCost that moves with the design.
Quantities come off the model; unit prices from current cost data — the estimate updates when the design does.
FieldA BIM/IFC your engineer can open.
Footings, slabs, shear walls and MEP — serialized to IFC, not a flattened export.
Your whole set,
on every device.
PDF, DXF and IFC — every sheet, schedule and model opens at the desk, in the trailer, on the deck.
