A practical approach to architectural drawings

A useful drawing package brings floor plans, elevations, sections, details, permit coordination, and an integrated licensed review and stamping workflow into one coordinated view. That makes the project easier to understand, review, price, and build.

Begin with project scope, existing conditions, property information, design decisions, construction details, jurisdictional requirements, and professional comments. HomeCat checks the property's zoning automatically and uses the applicable requirements to guide the plan. From there, the drawings can be shaped around the actual property and the decisions that matter to the project, with permit or professional-review items clearly flagged when they need attention.

How it works

    Add your architectural drawings project

    Sign in, choose the property, and enter the size and key requirements.

  2. 02

    Coordinate the plan

    HomeCat checks zoning and develops the layout, site fit, and drawing package.

  3. 03

    Save and export

    Save the project and export measured drawings, quantities, and cost inputs.

Project measurements and costs

HomeCat keeps the project dimensions connected to material quantities and cost inputs as the plan changes.

Measured project details

  • Plan geometry

    HomeCat captures wall locations, room dimensions, floor areas, circulation widths, and the overall building footprint.

  • Openings and elevations

    HomeCat records door and window sizes, sill and head heights, exterior heights, roof slopes, and finished grade points.

  • Section relationships

    HomeCat coordinates floor-to-floor heights, ceiling profiles, stairs, foundations, framing depths, and roof assemblies through the building sections.

Material and cost inputs

  • Required drawing views

    HomeCat defines the floor plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and site information included in the architectural set.

  • Model based quantities

    HomeCat calculates areas, lengths, volumes, opening counts, and fixture counts directly from the coordinated project model.

  • Review revision scope

    HomeCat coordinates comment-driven changes across affected views and tracks the dimensions, details, and quantities changed for the next issue.
