About this Gig
Welcome To My Gig
Planning a room addition, sunroom conversion, or porch enclosure in Florida? I create detailed wood frame drawings built around what Florida's high-wind-zone building departments need to see before they'll issue a permit.
Florida reviewers pay close attention to wind load detailing, and I draw plans with that in mind: wall framing layout with header sizing references roof framing plan with rafter/truss layout and tie down/hurricane strap callouts, floor framing where applicable, and connection details at critical load points (wall-to-foundation, roof-to-wall, header bearing).
I work from architectural sketches, existing house plans, photos, or your own rough dimensions. Drawings are dimensioned and labeled clearly so they're easy for both your permit office and your contractor to follow without back and forth questions.
This service covers drafting and design support only not PE-stamped engineering. Florida's high wind and flood zone requirements mean some additions will need an engineer's seal; I'll tell you upfront if that applies to your project so you're not surprised later.

FAQ
Will these drawings be accepted by my city or county permit office?
My drawings are formatted to match what Florida building departments typically require for residential room addition submittals, with particular attention to wind load detailing since most Florida jurisdictions enforce strict high wind zone standards. Requirements vary slightly by county
Do I need an engineer's stamp for my addition?
Many standard wood frame additions can move forward with prescriptive drafted drawings like mine, but Florida's wind and flood zone requirements mean some additions, especially larger ones, those near the coast, or those with non standard roof framing, will need a PE-stamped engineering package.
What's actually included in the drawing set?
Wall framing layout with header sizing references, roof framing plan with rafter or truss layout and tie down/hurricane strap callouts, floor framing where applicable, and connection details at critical load points like wall to foundation, roof to wall, and header bearing.
What do you need from me to get started?
Architectural sketches, your existing house plans, photos of the area being added onto, or simply your own rough dimensions and a description of the addition. The more you can share, the more accurate the first draft will be.
How long will it take to get my drawings?
Most room addition framing plans are delivered within several days depending on complexity. I'll confirm a firm timeline once I see your project scope.
Can you handle sunroom conversions and porch enclosures too?
Yes. Sunroom conversions, porch enclosures, and similar additions are common projects for this gig, and the framing approach is similar to a standard room addition.
What if my permit office sends back review comments?
Revisions are included. Send me the comments from your reviewer and I'll update the drawings to address them.
