Residential Drafting Services in St. George, Utah
Timpson Drafting & Design supports St. George homeowners and residential contractors with plans for new homes, additions, ADUs, garages, and remodels.
Local residential drafting support
St. George projects range from new construction on undeveloped lots to changes within established neighborhoods. A useful first review identifies the exact property, the authority that will review the work, available surveys or existing plans, and any site or neighborhood constraints before the drawing scope is set. Remote coordination is available when the project team can provide dependable measurements, photographs, and source documents.
On-site measurement is not automatically included. Share the property address and existing-condition scope so availability can be confirmed before quoting.
To begin, provide the property location, intended work, approximate size, schedule, and any survey, photos, sketches, measurements, or existing plans.

| IRC | 2021 | Qualifying detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses within the code’s scope. Utah Code § 15A-2-103 |
| IBC | 2021 | Buildings, occupancies, or portions of work governed by the building code rather than the IRC. Utah Code § 15A-2-103 |
