With our Get-A-Sketch service, a real architect will create
a conceptual plan of your project before you begin the work. Get-A-Sketch
is a good place to start because it is the same service a traditional
architect would provide to you during an initial consultation. But
our Get-A-Sketch service is more affordable and more convenient.
Our Get-A-Sketch Designs are architectural sketches with
enough detail and clarity for homeowners to convey their ideas to
a contractor, get cost estimates for construction, or visualize
the transformation of a remodel or addition. Depending on your project,
they may also be used for construction.

Use Get-A-Sketch if you need:
- A basic design of your remodel or addition project. If
you're thinking about a remodel or addition to your home and you're
not sure where to begin or how much it will cost, let a Get-A-Sketch
Design guide you. Send us a photo of the area of your house you
want to renovate and we'll create a custom design sketch of your
project and provide a cost estimate for construction.
The Get-A-Sketch fee will be deducted from our Custom
Remodeling & Addition Plans service if you decide you
want to purchase a full set of remodeling or addition plans
after you receive your Get-A-Sketch Design.
- A basic design of the new house you're thinking of building.
If you're thinking about building a new home and have an idea
of what you want it to look like and what features you want it
to include, let a Get-A-Sketch Design guide you. Send us photos,
pictures from magazines, or just a written design program that
details your ideas. We'll create a custom design sketch of your
new house and provide a cost estimate for construction.
The Get-A-Sketch fee will be deducted from our New
House Plans service if you decide you want to purchase
a set of house plans after you receive your Get-A-Sketch Design.
- A plan for your home improvement project, like removing
a wall to expand your family room, building an outdoor deck, porch,
or entryway.
Most design professionals agree the planning and design stage is
the most important step in any project. In fact, the more time
you spend on the design stage, the more likely you will achieve your
project goals and be happy with the results.
Once you receive your Get-A-Sketch Design, you can implement
our plan in a number of different ways:
- It can be used to create a preliminary design of your remodel,
addition, or new house project. You can then present your
Get-A-Sketch Design to contractors for cost estimates. Once you
are ready to build your project, the Get-A-Sketch Design can be
used as a basis for the construction drawings.
- It can be used as a construction plans for simple home remodel
projects, like building a porch or entryway.
- For home improvement projects, like building a porch
addition or building an outdoor deck, you many need nothing more
than a Get-A-Sketch design to get a building permit and complete
construction.
- Or you can use a Get-A-Sketch Design as a visualization tool
to envision the renovations that are possible to create your dream
home. Use the design for future planning of a remodel, addition,
or new house, finding out a cost estimate of a potential project,
or just for fun.
