SITE PLAN DRAFTING SERVICES

We at URCADServices offer Site Plan Drafting services for a variety of applications. A site plan is a "set of construction drawings that a builder or contractor uses to make improvements to a property. Counties can use the site plan to verify that development codes are being met and as a historical resource. Site plans are often prepared by a design consultant who must be either a licensed engineer, architect, landscape architect or land surveyor". A site plan is a readable map or a residential diagram depicting the plot of land on which the house sits, along with landscape topography and any exterior features or structures such as a detached garage, in-ground swimming pool, large trees, fencing, utility poles and power lines, driveways, easements, etc.

​

​Site plans includes site analysis, building elements, and planning of various types including transportation and urban. Site plans are generally diagrams that county / city governments require for their records to ensure local and state building codes are adhered to. A residential site plan depicts everything within the property lines; namely, basic topography, pathways, building structures, and utility lines. Because homeowners may make rather significant changes to their property, government is also the resource to retain site plans for historical records. If you’re purchasing a new house or want to make changes to the existing one – like adding a garage, installing a fence, adding a retaining wall – you need to get a permit from your local authority.
